This volume, edited by Joan Piggott (University of Southern
California, Los Angeles), includes fourteen essays, originally
written in Japanese and here interpreted in English. It introduces
readers to a broader array of historical and archaeological
research on center-periphery relations than has ever before been
available to English readers. Each essay has been translated,
annotated, and introduced by a specialist who selected it for its
invaluable contribution to his or her own work, and who here
renders it into English for a non-specialist audience. The book
features thirteen newly created maps, and also includes an
exhaustive list of sources (including Chinese characters). Together
with its readable and well-annotated text, extensive glossary, rich
bibliography, and comprehensive index, these combined tools make
for a valuable resource to scholars and students interested in
premodern Japan. Researchers whose work has been interpreted
include Tsude Hiroshi, Kobayashi Yukio, Hara Hidesaburō, Inoue
Tatsuo, Takahashi Tomio, Takeda Sachiko, Hotate Michihisa, Morita
Tei, Sasaki Muneo, Toda Yoshimi, Miyazaki Yasumitsu, Motoki Yasuo,
Ishimoda Shō, and Koyama Yasunori. Scholar-interpreters include
Mikael Adolphson, Michiko Aoki, Bruce Batten, Walter Edwards, Karl
Friday, Jan Goodwin, Gustav Heldt, and Joan Piggott.
