J. Edward Kidder, Jr., is emeritus professor of Japanese at International Christian University, Tokyo.
Given the author's long and distinguished career in the archaeological study of Japan, a retrospective summary of the archaeology alone is a significant event. Add to this his very thorough examination of textual sources, and the result is a truly unique, multifaceted study of ancient Japanese society. - Walter Edwards, Tenri University ""Using a balanced combination of archaeology and historical texts, Professor Kidder gives a marvelously rich portrait of life in Yayoi Japan."" - Mark Hudson, University of Tsukuba
