This engaging book challenges the traditional notion that Japan was
an isolated nation cut off from the outside world in the modern
era. This familiar story of seclusion, argues master historian
Marius B. Jansen, results from viewing the period soley in terms of
Japan's ties with the West, at the expense of its relationship with
closer Asian neighbors. Taking as his focus the port of Nagasaki
and its thriving trade with China in the sixteenth through
nineteenth centuries, Jansen not only corrects this misperception
but offers an important analysis of the impact of the China trade
on Japan's cultural, economic, and political life.
