Descriere
In
this
first
major
study
of
the
region
in
English,
the
author
examines
the
key
themes
of
Kyushu’s
history
from
earliest
times
–
the
cultural
interaction
with
the
continental
mainland,
settlement,
location
and
infrastructure
as
well
as
trade
and
commerce,
–
arguing
that
it
was
the
principal
stepping-stone
in
terms
of
Japan’s
cultural,
social
and
economic
advance
through
history
up
to
the
present
day.
Although
an
integral
part
of
Japan,
Kyushu
is
culturally
distinct
in
that
its
location
on
the
East
China
Sea
has
exposed
the
region
to
an
unusually
high
degree
of
influence
from
overseas.
There
was
diplomatic
exchange
between
this
island
and
China,
for
example,
even
before
the
political
entity
of
Japan
came
into
existence.
Kyushu,
in
fact,
has
been
the
setting
for
many
of
the
major
cultural
encounters
in
Japan’s
history,
from
the
introduction
of
Buddhism,
Confucianism
and
Christianity
to
gunpowder,
coffee
and
tea.
The
volume
also
includes
a
colour
plate
section
containing
60
images
which
support
the
text
and
provide
the
reader/researcher
with
invaluable
pictorial
references
to
Kyushu’s
history
from
earliest
times
to
the
present
day.
