Description

Book Synopsis

First published as a Monumenta Nipponica monograph in 1971, this impressive study chronicles the Hôgen Incident of 1156, the abortive coup d'état that marked the emergence of the military class as a political power in Japan. After being unavailable for years, this photo-reprint of the original edition contains not only the complete English translation of the work, but also virtually all that is needed for fully understanding it: footnotes, essays on the subject matter, appendices with references to other chronicles and histories, and a table of episodes from the various texts.

The late William Ritchie Wilson began Japanese studies as a U.S. Naval Language Officer in Tokyo in 1938. After earning his Ph.D. in Japanese literature from the University of Washington in 1967, he joined the faculty of Asian Studies at the University of Southern California.
