The book explores the transformation of Japan from its pre-feudal society through its modernization and emergence as a constitutional government and a significant power on the world stage. It covers various aspects of this evolution, including religion, the family system, and education.   The opening of the narrative introduces the early history of Japan, noting its origins and the complex influences that shaped its society, including the significant adoption of Chinese culture. Gubbins discusses the Great Reform of the seventh century, which centralized authority in imitation of Chinese governance, and how this reform laid the foundations for modern Japanese law and administration. The text hints at the conflicting currents of assimilation of foreign ideas and a strong national pride that characterize Japan's historical journey, setting the stage for the complex interactions between tradition and modernity that will be explored throughout the book.
