Traveller's History of Japan
This is only a 200 page history of Japan so it is very basic but I am slightly confused by the author's priorities here (and I wish this hadn't been written by an Englishman--you couldn't find a Japanese historian?). For example: five pages devoted to mini-biographies of the English and American men who "modernised" Japan vs. three pages explaining World War II. Almost half of the book discusses the 20th century (which is fascinating) but I was really looking for a better understanding of pre-Meiji era Japan.
There is a nice appendix explaining Japanese Buddhism and the author does do an excellent job of describing changes in art and literature throughout Japan's history (but he often compares Japan's artistic culture to European culture--why?).
