St. Lucia, London, New York: University of Queensland Press, [1982]. 8vo, pp. lx, 417, [3]; tables, maps and plans; full black boards; fine in sun-toned dust jacket. "The Tokushi Yoron is acknowledged as the most outstanding interpretive history of Japan in pre-modern times. Extraordinarily modern in its scientific and philosophic sophistication, it has influenced all subsequent Japanese historians. It is also a compendious and critical guide to previous histories, as it quotes from and comments on some seventy sources, some of which are no longer extant." Item #72774
