Antiquity and Anachronism in Japanese History by Jeffrey P Mass
This collection of essays is built around a major but previously unstudied theme in Japanese history - the extent to which the exaggeration of antiquity has distorted historical understanding.
"This well-produced book is a little masterpiece, wise in what it says, and graceful in how it says it"—Asian Studies Review
