Tokyo from Edo to Showa 1867-1989: The Emergence of the World's Greatest City (Tuttle Classics)
"These two volumes byEdward Seidenstickermay well be the envy of every university press: they are books which deserve to be on every scholar's shelf, which should be assigned regularly to students in classes and which are desirable reading for amateur historians and tourists alike." —Thomas Stanley, Director ofWalk Japan Limited"Seidensticker is of course one of the most respected translators of Japanese literature into English, and the beauty of his landmark Genji and Kawabata editions long ago helped draw me into the world of Japanese literature. Tokyo was the city he loved and lived in for most of his long life and here he gives it his unwavering attention over many many pages." —Goodreads
