{"product_id":"japan-36","title":"Japan","description":"This text conveys the turbulent political, economic and social change that over four centuries positioned Japan as a modern world power. This narrative examines the impact of towering figures such as Leyasu, the architect of the Tokugawa state, and the experiences of everyday Japanese - farmers, soldiers and women - whose struggles built a strong and prosperous nation. The work traces the advances and reversals marking Japan's path from a land ruled by lords and a warrior class to a modern parliamentary democracy, and from a small isolationist nation to a political and economic giant. This history text is also seasoned with Japanese culture throughout - the woodblock prints of Hiroshige and Hokusai, the exquisite haiku of Basho, the beauties of noh drama, the novels of Oe Kenzaburo and the films of Ozo.","brand":"WW Norton \u0026 Co","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54251461017944,"sku":"9780393977202","price":43.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780393977202_6de30cdc-4eb8-4f0e-b48f-940c178c8c0a.jpg?v=1781147730","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/japan-36","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
