New Books on Japan: "Reading Medieval Ruins: Urban Life and Destruction in Sixteenth-Century Japan"

MJHA proudly presents a "New Books on Japan" event: Book: Reading Medieval Ruins: Urban Life and Destruction in Sixteenth-Century Japan (Cambridge University Press, 2022) Author: Morgan Pitelka, Bernard L. Herman Distinguished Professor, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Discussant: Ethan Segal, Associate Professor of History, Michigan State University Book abstract: Reading Medieval Ruins: Urban Life and Destruction in Sixteenth-Century Japan takes us back to the Japanese provincial city of Ichijōdani, which was destroyed in the civil wars of the late sixteenth century but never rebuilt. Archaeological excavations have since uncovered the most detailed late medieval urban site in Japan. Drawing on analysis of specific excavated objects and decades of archaeological evidence to study daily life in Ichijōdani, Reading Medieval Ruins illuminates the city's layout, the possessions and houses of its residents, its politics and experience of war, and religious and cultural networks. Professor Pitelka demonstrates how provincial centers could be dynamic and vibrant nodes of industrial, cultural, economic, and political entrepreneurship and sophistication. In this study a new and vital understanding of late medieval society is revealed, one in which Ichijôdani played a central role in the vibrant age of Japan's sixteenth century. 『中世の廃墟を読む： 16世紀日本の都市生活と破壊』は、16世紀末の内戦で破壊されたまま再建されることのなかった日本の地方都市、一乗谷に私たちを連れ戻す。考古学的発掘調査により、日本で最も詳細な中世後期の都市遺跡が発見された。具体的な出土品の分析と数十年にわたる考古学的証拠をもとに、一乗谷の日常生活を研究する『中世の廃墟を読む』は、都市の配置、住民の所有物や家屋、政治や戦争体験、宗教的・文化的ネットワークを明らかにする。ピテルカ教授は、ある地方の中心地がダイナミックで活気に満ちた、産業、文化、経済、政治の起業家精神と洗練の結節点になったことを実証している。 ***** The Modern Japan History Association (MJHA) is a professional association of scholars interested in modern Japan and Japanese history.
