Japan was the only non-Western nation to industrialize before 1900 and its leap into the modern era has stimulated vigorous debates among historians and social scientists. In an innovative discussion that posits the importance of physical well-being as a key indicator of living standards, Susan B. Hanley considers daily life in the three centuries leading up to the modern era in Japan. She concludes that people lived much better than has been previously understood - at levels equal or superior to their Western contemporaries. She goes on to illustrate how this high level of physical well-being had important consequences for Japan's ability to industrialize rapidly and for the comparatively smooth transition to a modern, industrial society. While others have used income levels to conclude that the Japanese household was relatively poor in those centuries, Hanley examines the material culture - food, sanitation, housing, and transportation. How did ordinary people conserve the limited resources available in this small island country? What foods made up the daily diet and how were they prepared? How were human wastes disposed of? How long did people live? Hanley answers all these questions and more in an accessible style and with frequent comparisons with Western lifestyles. Her methods allow for cross-cultural comparisons between Japan and the West as well as Japan and the rest of Asia. They will be useful to anyone interested in the effects of modernization on daily life.

評分日本是近代唯一一個逃脫被殖民的命運、相反還躋身列強的非西方國傢。在世人眼中,日本當時從一個落後國傢嚮現代國傢的“變身”,是在明治維新時期短短的十多年間突然完成的。這種廣為流行的敘述過分強調瞭斷裂與變革,但卻對日本社會的延續性過於忽視——事實上,今天的日本文...

評分————— 江戶時代的日本比我們想象中要發達。 日本在明治維新前,不同於我們的刻闆印象是一個貧睏落後的島嶼,而是一個前現代、資本主義經濟開始發展、西方科技傳入的社會。 日本在18世紀中期,就有翻譯西方物理學、醫學的著作瞭,而17世紀已經有瞭關孝和這樣子的數學傢,他...
