| NOTA |
(★)(These papers by leading specialists on sixteenth-century Japan explore Japan´s transition from medieval (Chuusei) to early modern (Kinsei) society. During this time, regional lords (daimyo) first battled for local autonomy and then for national supremacy. In the process, Japanese society was greatly transformed. Focusing on this transformation, these scholars bring to light the importance of the sixteenth century for Japanese history. The essays cover the following topics : how two great daimyo came into existence and held on to their extensive domains ; two special aspects --house laws and regulation of trade-- of daimyo rule ; the political, social, and economic policies of Oda Nobunaga and Toyotomi Hideyoshi ; the maturation of the ´bakuhan´system under the Tokugawa shogunate ; and the nature of urban and economic growth that accompanied the transformation of the political order from Chuusei to Kinsei times. In addition to the editors, the contributors include : Matsuoka Hisato, Katsumata Shizuo, Sasaki Gin-ya, Fujiki Hisashi, Wakita Osamu, Asao Naohiro, Sasaki Junnosuke, and Wakita Haruko.
