Describes the festivals, medicine, education, agriculture, and culture of Japan during the centuries when the samurai, or warrior class, were prominent

'On the Back' of Growing up in Samurai Japan

To the Japanese, who had been isolated from the rest of the world for some two hundred years, the arrival of the Americans on their land in 1853 was a terrifying event. Many believed that the world was coming to an end.

Indeed, the feudal world of the samurai was very quickly to be ended by the western influence on Japan. What was that world like, both for the warrior class and for the rest of the population?

In chapters on The Day of the Foreign Intruders, Born in Samurai Japan, The Years of Childhood, Life in Samurai Japan, Arts and Artistry, Medicine and Magic, Festival Time, and Into the Modern World, Brenda Ralph Lewis captures the timeless and colourful atmosphere of Japan on the eve of its entry into the modern world.
Brenda Ralph Lewis is the author of many historical books for young readers, including several of Batsford's Growing up series.
