Description: "In this first major study of the region in English, the author examines the key themes of Kyushu's history from earliest times - the cultural interaction with the continental mainland, settlement, location and infrastructure as well as trade and commerce, - arguing that it was the principal stepping-stone in terms of Japan's cultural, social and economic advance through history up to the present day."--Publisher's description.
