Japan: Memoirs of a Secret Empire
Japan blossomed into its Renaissance around the same time as Europe, yet unlike the West it flourished not through conquest and exploration, but by fierce and defiant isolation. At the heart of this empire stood Tokugawa Ieyasu, a warlord who ruled with absolute authority. The period is explored through a chorus of voices - the Shogun, the Samurai, the Geisha, the poet, the peasant, and the Westerner who glimpsed into this secret world.
