review: Editorial Reviews Review “The book is lavishly produced with beautiful four-color illustrations…A genuine contribution to our scholarship on early modern and modern Japanese intellectual history. Toyosawa’s innovative insights into the theme of landscape connect Tokugawa and Meiji-era thought in productive, exciting, and unexpected ways.” ― Mark Ravina , Journal of Japanese Studies “Toyosawa analyzes the influential works of several early-modern and modern Japanese scholar-writers that exemplify how the natural landscape has long been a source of power and as a defining core of Japanese identity.” ― Rex J. Rowley , Historical Geography About the Author Nobuko Toyosawa is Research Fellow at the Oriental Institute, Czech Academy of Sciences.
