Nishiyama Matsunosuke is one of the most important historians of
Tokugawa (Edo) popular culture, yet until now his work has never
been translated into a Western language. Edo Culture presents a
selection of Nishiyama's writings that serves not only to provide
an excellent introduction to Tokugawa cultural history but also to
fill many gaps in our knowledge of the daily life and diversions of
the urban populace of the time. Many essays focus on the most
important theme of Nishiyama's work: the seventeenth to nineteenth
centuries as a time of appropriation and development of Japan's
culture by its urban commoners.
