Published in collaboration with the British Museum, the History in Objects series presents a visually rich gateway to the past through the material culture of societies from around the world. Each book is packed with information backed by the latest scholarship and illustrated by an exceptional, world-leading collection of artefacts.
This compelling illustrated history in objects traces Japan's complex past through its material culture. Over 350 artefacts - from the everyday to the sacred - highlight significant moments and themes from ancient times until the present, including religion and culture, agriculture and industry, urbanisation and immigration, and politics and trade. Encompassing over 15,000 years of history, this ambitious account examines the materials, ideas and cross-cultural connections that continue to shape Japan.
