This comprehensive and enthralling history of Tokyo demonstrates how the turbulent events of the past became dramatic opportunities to remake this centuries-old city into what it has become today.In a whirlwind journey through Tokyo's past from its earliest beginnings up to the present day, Tokyo, a Biography demonstrates how the city's response to everything from natural disasters to regime change has been to reinvent itself time and again. A calamitous fire results in a massive expansion of the city's territory. A debate over the Samurai code creates far-reaching social change. A malleable boy becomes the figurehead for powerful forces who change an ancient feudal society into a modern industrialized power within a generation. Utter destruction wipes the slate clean again so Tokyoites may start all over. And so it goes.Tokyo's history is timeless and author Stephen Mansfield's Tokyo rises higher with every convergence. By the book's end, we see a city almost totally complete in its uniqueness—a place that, despite its long history, still shimmers as it prepares to turn the next corner…and the next.
