The Story of the Sengoku War
 |
Description
Book Introduction
The Sengoku period in Japan, which lasted for about 100 years starting in the mid-15th century, was a time when numerous local lords (daimyo) fiercely fought for the survival and prosperity of their families. It was also a time when Japan began to accept Western civilization through exchanges with European maritime powers, represented by the introduction of firearms.
It is also a period worth examining from the perspective of war history, as it saw major changes in tactics based on the spread of new weapons such as cannons and muskets, and the activities of ashigaru (foot soldiers).
This book covers a wide range of topics, from weapons and tactics to diplomacy and post-war management, focusing on how the wars and battles of the Sengoku period were actually fought.
Although it is not a specialized book, the information it covers is quite specific and contains much that may be difficult to understand even for those interested in the Sengoku period.
The greatest strength of this book is that it conveys information that is difficult to explain through text alone in an easy-to-understand manner through an appropriate combination of text and illustrations.
Given the paucity of books on Japan's Warring States period, we hope the publication of this Korean edition will satisfy the interest of readers interested in the period.
