Satsuma Students In Britain - Japan''S Early Search For The Essence Of The West''

by Andrew Cobbing

64,91€ + 10% CARD

 In the spring of 1865, when Japan was in the grip of a major civil war, eighteen samurai and an interpreter risked their lives to embark secretly on a voyage to the unknown lands of the barbarian west. Their destination was Britain - at the hub of a vast empire. These were the Satsuma students, some of them still in their teens, all carrying orders from their domains to travel abroad. It was an extraordinary and daring expedition. Their experience of life in the west not only transformed their perception of the outside world, but through their diverse activities in later life, had a profound impact on commerce, education and culture in Meiji Japan. First published in 1974, Inuzuka Takaaki''s study is still the classic work on the Satsuma students'' revealing tale of discovery. In this translation by Andrew Cobbing, further details that have since emerged are also included to give a fresh portrayal, the first in English, of this singular episode in the opening of Japan.

Japan'S Modern Theatre - A Century Of Change And Continuity

by Brian Powell

64,91€ + 10% CARD

 This book endeavours to unravel the complicated skeins of Japanese theatre in the modern period and offers an appreciation of the richness of choice of presentational and representational theatre forms.Since the end of world War II there has been continuing but different conflict between the major theatrical genres. Kabuki continues to defend its ground successfully, but the ''new drama'' (shingeki) became firmly established in its own right in the 1960s. It was a vigorous and exuberant ''underground'' theatre which exploited anything and everything in the Japanese and western theatre traditions.Now, thirty years on, they too have been superseded. The youth theatre of the 1980s and 90s has thrown aside the concerns of the angry underground and developed a fast-moving bewilderingly kaleidoscopic drama of breath-taking energy.

by Martin Uden

64,91€ + 10% CARD

 <p>In earlier times, for the Chinese, Korea was ''the country of courteous people from the east'', and for westerners ''the land of the morning calm'' or ''hermit kingdom''. In this fascinating collection of writings on times past in Korea the author helps to lift the veil on this once closed country, providing the reader with a wide selection of first-hand accounts by travellers who ''discovered'' Korea - some as snapshots by those passing through, others more detailed evaluations of Korean culture and everyday life by those who spent time there. The collection covers a period of over 400 years - from Hendrik Hamel''s journal of the 1600s to early 20th century records, such as Roy C. Andrew''s 1918 published account of his expedition, entitled <em>Exploring Unknown Corners of the ''Hermit Kingdom''</em>.</p>
