How do ordinary people respond to prolonged terror? The convulsion
of Japan's "Warring States" period between 1467 and 1568 destroyed
the medieval order and exposed the framework of an early modern
polity. Mary Elizabeth Berry investigates the experience of
upheaval in Kyoto during this time. Using diaries and urban records
(extensively quoted in the text), Berry explores the violence of
war, misrule, private justice, outlawry, and popular uprising. She
also examines the structures of order, old and new, that abated
chaos and abetted social transformation. The wartime culture of
Kyoto comes to life in a panoramic study that covers the rebellion
of the Lotus sectarians, the organization of work and power in
commoner neighborhoods, the replotting of urban geography, and the
redefinition of authority and prestige in the arena of play.
