    1 Park, “Kaya, Silla, and Wa,” 142.

    2 This section is based on Schirokauer, A Brief History of Chinese and Japanese Civilizations, and Totman, A History of Japan.

    3 Amino, Rethinking Japanese History. Everyone interested in Japanese or East Asian history, or in the processes of historical discovery and rethinking anywhere any time, should read this wonderful, highly readable book. The two chapters most relevant to this text book are: 1 “Was medieval (premodern) Japan an agrarian society?” and 2 “The maritime view of the Japanese archipelago.”

    4 This section is based on Schirokauer, A Brief History of Chinese and Japanese Civilizations, and Totman, A History of Japan. For a recent treatment of the estate system see Goodwin and Piggott, Land, Power, and the Sacred.

    5 This section is based on Ivan Morris, World of the Shining Prince, which I highly recommend.

    6 Mass, The Development of Kamakura Rule, 1180-1250: A History with Documents, xiii.

    7 Hitomi Tonomura, personal communication, January 2014 (University of Michigan).
