No dust jacket, as issued. Book Description First edition, first printing, 1980. Edited by Henry D. Smith II and published by the Program in Asian Studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara, with distribution by the Japan Society of New York. This copy meets the established first-printing points. The copyright page carries only the original 1980 copyright statement and does not contain a later-printing designation. Subsequent and revised printings explicitly identify themselves as such. Published before the broadcast of the original 1980 television miniseries, Learning from Shōgun was created as a scholarly companion to James Clavell's novel. The collection examines the historical realities underlying Clavell's fictional narrative while addressing the Western assumptions, romantic conventions, and cultural interpretations through which early modern Japan was presented to English-speaking audiences. The essays explore Japanese political, military, religious, and social history and compare historical figures and events with their fictional counterparts. Subjects include Hosokawa Gracia as the historical model for Mariko, samurai society and armor, Christianity in Japan, European contact, cultural interpretation, and the transformation of Japanese history into Western popular fiction. Illustrated with period-style depictions of samurai armor derived from Murai Masahiro's 1837 woodblock publication Tanki yōryaku, represented by an example in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The volume also contains historical and reference material intended to help readers distinguish the documented world of early seventeenth-century Japan from its fictionalized treatment in Shōgun. An uncommon original first printing and a desirable association item for collectors of James Clavell, Shōgun, Japanese history, Asian Studies, historical fiction, television history, and Japanese-Western cultural interpretation.…

Good readable/working copy.; The new wave - a term referring to the revival in Japanese woodblock printmaking during the early decades of the twentieth century - presents a comprehensive and authoritative picture of the important, but often neglected shin hanga ('new prints') of the Taisho (1912-1926) and early Showa (1926-1989) periods. The fully-illustrated publication contains three essays: an art historical overview of the developments of shin hanga (Donald Jenkins); a discussion of the pioneering role of the publisher Watanabe Shôzaburô (Henry D. Smith II and Okamoto Hiromi); and an introduction to western artists working in Japan during the formative years of the shin hanga movement (Julia Meech). The largest portion of the publication consists of over 300 annotated entries for each work (Amy Reigle Stephens). The new wave includes all the major figures of the shin hanga movement such as Hashiguchi Goyo, Ito Shinsui, Yamamura Koka and Torii Kotondo as well as over fifty lesser-known artists. In addition, in an attempt to set the stage for the development of the shin hanga movement, the publication also comprises the works by artists of the earlier Meiji period (1868-1912) such as Kobayashi Kiyochika, Kaburagi Kiyokata, Yoshu Chikanobu, Ogata Gekko and others, and by western artists working in Japan. All of the works are drawn from the impressive Robert O. Muller collection, the largest of its kind in the field of shin hanga. …
