Yukichi Fukuzawa 1835-1901 by N Tamaki
Yukichi Fukuzawa was one of the most effective business entrepreneurs in early modern Japan. He was the inspiration for the Yokohama Specie Bank, without which the Japanese could not have set up a sound banking system. He began the bookstore chain Maruzen. He was adviser to the newly founded shipbuilding and mining giant Mitsubishi and helped bring the house of Mitsui into the modern age. This is both the story of his life and his transforming impact on Japan's economy.'Published in the centenary year of his death, this book supplies what has long been needed: a critical biography in English of a major Japanese figureIt contains fine illustrations and generous quotations from original sources which are of outstanding interest.' - Ian Nish, The Japan Society
