Description

First published in 2001, this Routledge book presents a comprehensive exploration of Japanese food history using an original framework that departs from traditional historical periodisation. Rather than dividing Japanese history by government changes - from the ancient imperial court through the medieval warrior governments, the early modern Tokugawa shogunate, and the modern Meiji Restoration era - the author develops a practical system specifically designed to illuminate how Japanese cuisine evolved across these transformative periods. This cultural and social sciences study offers readers a unique perspective on how food practices, ingredients, and culinary traditions shaped and reflected Japanese society across centuries of change.
