Japan's ancient age was a period of radical and political change
during which a Chinese-style empire emerged. This volume of The
Cambridge History of Japan spans the beginnings of human existence
to the end of the eighth century, focusing on the thousand years
between 300 B.C. and 784, the end of the fabulous Nara period. The
volume explores this period in four stages: (1) The Yayoi period
(to about 250 A.D. ) when small kingdoms and kingdom federations
accumulated enough power to dispatch diplomatic missions to Korea
and China; (2) the Yamato period (to 587) when priestly rulers,
having gained economic and military power, conquered most of Japan;
(3) the Century of Reform (to 710) when Japanese leaders, pressed
by China's expanding T'ang empire, set out to build a strong
Chinese-style empire of their own; (4) the Nara period (to 784)
when spectacular literary, artistic, architectural, and religious
advances were made.
