Résumé:
This publication is a book of stories, depictions of vanished ways of life told from the point of view of a contemporary observer. The stories tell how people lived in Japan some two hundred years ago, during the late Edo Period, when traditional technology and culture were at the peak of development and realization, just before the country opened itself to the West and joined the ranks of the industrialized nations.

Résumé:
Quand on s’intéresse à l’histoire du Japon, on ne peut éviter de rencontrer de prime abord la conscience historique des Japonais. Cet imaginaire est des plus simples, se bornant à affirmer comme traits spécifiques de ce pays la continuité (un temps linéaire, sans vrai début ni fin), l’homogénéité (une sorte de totalité synchronique), et logeant dans cette association aussi bien l’État, la dynastie impériale, la population, le territoire. De fait, l’originalité du Japon tient à ce que les changements s’y inscrivent, comme naturellement, dans un cadre immobile. Quelle est pourtant la dynamique interne de ce pays qui, depuis sa préhistoire et jusqu’à la rénovation de Meiji, a su garder son unité ?
