Japan's Yomiuri newspaper has undertaken a bold project, the first of its kind in the Japanese intellectual community since the end of World War II. Yomiuri seriously probes the outbreak and prolongation of the wars of the Showa Era and examines the responsibility of many Japanese political leaders and high-ranking military officers, including some not tried in the Tokyo Tribunal, such as Prince Konoe and Army Minister Anami. Yomiuri's scrutiny is pioneering, comprehensive and courageous.

This is the history of Dutch influence on Japan during the so-called 'closed centuries' between 1640 and 1853. Dutch maritime traders provided the only commercial link which Japan maintained with the west, and were thus the sole channel for western ideas and knowledge to reach neo-Confucian society. Professor Goodman explains the circumstances of the Dutch themselves in Japan during the seventeenth century, and the historical and intellectual milieu within which 'Dutch studies' were nurtured. He traces the initial interest of the Shogun government in European astronomy and medicine, and the gradual development of interest in wider spheres of western knowledge and culture.
