(★)((英文版)「文明としての徳川日本 一六〇三ー一八五三年」／ Translated by Juliet Winters Carpenter／ When thinking about Tokugawa Japan, some people always envision fancy Edo exotica ; others conjure up a dark age of stagnation and gloom ; still others reject these extremes and look only for keys to Japan´s swift modernization.／ Yet Tokugawa Japan was in fact a time of immense cultural flowering : there was the Rimpa school of art developed by TAWARAYA Sootatsu and OGATA Koorin ; remarkable haiku by MATSUO Bashoo and YOSA Buson ; groundbreaking natural science treatises by KAIBARA Ekiken and others ; seminal writings like ARAI Hakuseki´s ´Tidings of the West (Seiyoo kibun)´ and SUGITA Gempaku´s ´Dawn of Western Science in Japan (Rangaku kotohajime)´ ; and the appearance of such towering intellectuals as WATANABE Kazan and HIRAGA Gennai. Infact, the Tokugawa period marked the zenith of Japan´s long history of cultural achievements.／ This ambitious work provides a comprehensive review of those two and a half centuries of peace --what the author calls the ´Pax Tokugawana´-- and the expansion of learning and culture during those years. Marshalling wide-ranging scholarship and unflagging enthusiasm, the author has made a major contribution to comparative cultural studies and provided fresh ways to approach long-accepted ideas. This volume represents the culmination of a lifetime´s research by a brilliant, award-winning scholar.／ ◆Haga Tooru [芳賀徹] : Born in Yamagata in 1931, earned his B.A. and doctorate in literature from the University of Tokyo.
