Edo-period Japan was crisscrossed by networks of poets, scholars, artists and collectors who exchanged information, discussed each other’s work, cooperated in collaborative projects, and gossiped about each other. Intellectual life in Edo Japan was a seething cauldron of social interaction and competition, sometimes harmoniously productive, sometimes destructively vicious, but never stagnant. This volume, compiled in honour of Prof. W.J. Boot, offers eleven essays that explore the intellectual scene of Edo-period Japan from a variety of perspectives.Brill's Japanese studies library ;v. 38.HistoryJapanIntellectual life1600-1868JapanHistoryTokugawa period, 1600-1868Electronic books.History.952/.025Beerens Anna1957-800884Teeuwen Mark912042Boot W.
