In this beguiling and splendidly illustrated volume, Screech brings to the page an array of fascinating narrative insights that not only tell the story of the shogun's capital but also set it in the broader context of Japanese cultural history, with its extensive ties to the Chinese world, and even beyond, to Europe. --Paul Waley, University of Leeds, coeditor of Japanese Capitals in Historical Perspective: Place, Power and Memory in Kyoto, Edo and Tokyo
