Japan's Early Parliaments, 1890-1905 is the first detailed study of
the early history of the Japanese Diet, providing a thorough
discussion of the origins of the Japanese parliament, still the
central institution of Japanese politics, and its development
during this formative period. Drawn from primary sources, including
the Diet records and contemporary newspaper reports, the studies in
this book cover specific topics and issues debated in the Diet such
as the land tax increase, the debate on poor relief, and the
Japanese Commercial Code of 1890. The authors also look at the
structure of the Diet and the role of the separate Houses, setting
their findings in the context of wider Japanese political history.

The elegant, clean classicism of Philip Mitchell s style is on full
display in these homes, where he masterfully incorporates a
wide-ranging mix of antiques, vintage collectibles, and
contemporary pieces everything from inherited furniture collections
to modern art in rooms that are filled with memories and warmth. As
a master of what he calls modern maximalism, Mitchell embraces the
challenge of taking wonderful things that a homeowner already has
and making more of them. Once Mitchell has established a connecting
thread among a variety of disparate pieces whether through finish,
material, scale, colour, texture, or line he starts the process of
building the relationships that bring a space to life. Brilliant
photographs take readers on in-depth tours of nine homes, ranging
from an elegant Upper East Side pied-a-terre to a classic cottage
on the water in Nova Scotia. Mitchell s personal narrative in
elegant text enlightens, while his takeaways accompanying each home
help readers understand how to blend new and old, mix colours and
patterns, and fill a home with an eclectic mix that is truly their
own.
