First edition, first printing, 2019. With obi. Minor scratches on the cover and spine. (The inside pages are in good condition.) This introductory book on Japanese history eliminates the "evils" in the historical understanding of one's own country, such as the history textbook issues and masochistic historical views that have frequently been raised recently, and speaks of Japan as "excellent, strong, and independent." It concisely explains the characteristics of Japan's politics, economy, and culture, focusing on three aspects: Japanese religion, economy, and marriage forms. Since it does not deal with particularly difficult facts, it is a book that can be fully enjoyed with knowledge of high school history.
