How did the people survive? How did Japan transform? A definitive study by a giant of post-war Japanese historical studies, depicting the overall picture of the Sengoku period. How did the Sengoku daimyo govern and fight? How did people live through the turbulent times? What changed with the spread of new technologies like cotton and firearms? From the rise of the Later Hojo clan to the Toyotomi regime, the overall picture and driving forces of the era are depicted clearly and vividly! —Deciphering with Four "Eyes for Seeing the Era"— First, grasping the movements of all social strata, not just the warlords, structurally. Second, considering the social changes brought about by the turmoil from the deepest perspective. Third, depicting it as an era of innovation and creation. Fourth, viewing it within a global historical perspective. From the commentary (by Kazuto Hongo, Professor at the Historiographical Institute, University of Tokyo)— Nagahara's research results do not discriminate against those who confront them. Regardless of one's position in historical research, if it is empirical, one will inevitably be forced to confront his achievements. Researchers learn from the inferences presented by Nagahara. They study them and strive to overcome them. Some researchers, after much effort, will succeed in overcoming a part of Nagahara's arguments. Some researchers, even with diligent efforts, will only end up reaffirming the certainty of Nagahara's arguments. In any case, his research achievements quietly await the challenges of researchers who come after. They await being surpassed. In this sense, Nagahara is truly fair and a respectable predecessor. A great researcher, the conscience of medieval history, that is Nagahara. ※A combined reprint of the 2000 publication "Sengoku Period: How Japan Changed in the 16th Century" (Shogakukan Library) in two volumes.
