Description

Explore the life and intellectual legacy of a titan in Japanese Studies with this critical biography by Ota. This work represents the first full-length study of Basil Hall Chamberlain, a figure who shaped the field over the last century. Originally published in Japanese by Iwanami Shoten, this biography provides a deep look at a scholar who was both an academic and an intellectual giant. Readers will learn about Chamberlain's massive contributions to the field, including his pioneering role as the father of Japanese linguistics and his landmark translation of the Kojiki. The text also covers his famous work, Things Japanese, which acted as a foundational encyclopedia for many generations. By examining his vision and his ability to recognize the distinctive elements of Meiji Japan, Ota offers a comprehensive portrait of a man whose work continues to influence how the world understands Japanese culture and language.
