In this book social scientists scrutinize the middle decades of the
nineteenth century in Japan. That scrutiny is important and
overdue, for the period from the 1850s to the 1880s has usually
been treated in terms of politics and foreign relations. Yet those
decades were also of pivotal importance in Japan's institutional
modernization. As the Japanese entered the world order, they
experienced a massive introduction of Western-style organizations.
Sweeping reforms, without the class violence or the Utopian appeal
of revolution, created the foundation for a modern society. The
Meiji Restoration introduced a political transformation, but these
chapters address the more gradual social transition. Originally
published in 1986. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest
print-on-demand technology to again make available previously
out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton
University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of
these important books while presenting them in durable paperback
and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is
to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in
the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press
since its founding in 1905.
