What is known as the Edo period in Japan lasted from 1600 to 1868. A remarkable era that ended a long period of civil war and ushered in and maintained peace for two and a half centuries. What is remarkable about Edo culture is its glaring lack of relations with the rest of the world—a self-sufficiency that allowed the flourishing of a unique and original society in the Far East. In five chapters of great clarity and precision, the author, who is also the illustrator of the book, immerses us in this fascinating era. When you leave this reading, you will know everything about the customs and traditions of the Edo period, the samurai, the ninjas, the yokai, the castles, the kimonos, which made it rich and which continue to shape our imagination!
