Description for Lost and Found: Recovering Regional Identity in Imperial Japan (Harvard East Asian Monographs) Hardcover. Hiraku Shimoda places the origin of modern Japanese regionalism in the tense relationship between region and nation in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

Series: Harvard East Asian Monographs. Num Pages: 180 pages, map. BIC Classification: 3JH; 3JJ; HBJF; HBLL; HBLW. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 235 x 163 x 16. Weight in Grams: 406.
