Recensies en Artikelen
"Kyoto’s Renaissance is a valuable resource addressing what the authors call the "Meiji-shaped hole" in English-language resources on historical Kyoto. [...] The careful scholarship throughout the collection draws out the ways that Kyoto modernized in the Meiji period by focusing on the conceptual challenges to the city’s identity as well as the pragmatic problems wrought by population decline and industry shifts. [...] This collection of research essays on
Kyoto’s Meiji renaissance [is] a critical resource for future research and teaching on Kyoto and Meiji Japan."
