- Synopsis
- Gail Lee Bernstein vividly re-creates the past three centuries of Japanese history by following the fortunes of a prominent Japanese family over fourteen generations. This book focuses on Isami, the eleventh generation patriarch and hereditary village head and uses family history to convey social life in Japan since the late 1600s. She provides absorbing anecdotes about food, famines, peasant uprisings, agrarian values, marriage customs, child-rearing practices, divorces, and social networks.
