• Renowned Japanologist Edward Seidensticker's masterful history of Tokyo, the world's largest city

• Sprinkled with interesting vignettes throughout, making the narrative highly readable and entertaining

Praise for the original edition, Low City, High City and Tokyo Rising: These two volumes by Edward Seidensticker may well be the envy of every university press: they are books which deserve to be on every scholar's shelf, which should be assigned regularly to students in classes and which are desirable leading for amateur historians and tourists alike. --Thomas Stanley, Director Walk Japan Limited, retired Senior Teaching Consultant, the University of Hong Kong
