The origins of Japan's medieval world, 2001, 522 p., 1 map., paperback. -

This collection proposes to challenge the way we thhink about fourteenth-century Japan and what proceeded and followed it. Most notable is the search for Japan's medieval beginnings, wich are found not in the developments flowing from the estabishment of the first shogunates in the 1180s, but rather in the shogunate's collapse 150 years later.
