Japanese history is a bit daunting at first but this book lays out and explains the stages or epochs in this long history in a clear, comprehensive and concise fashion. Once the different periods sink in the rest of the history of Japan starts to fall into place. A very useful primer for those interested in visiting Japan and learning about Japan before embarking on the trip there. Highly recommended.

Well written and, even if English is not my first language, I had no trouble understanding everything. Very interesting and not too heavy. Beautiful images throughout the book.
