Issue 7 (February 2007, Volume 2, Number 1)

Our first issue of 2007 features a major new Japanese book on the Second World War, "Who Was Responsible?" which has generated considerable international debate.

We also review other books on the topic which examine different aspects of Japan's wartime past. You will also find the usual broad selection of stimulating reviews on the latest books about Japan.

In this issue we look at new works on Japanese literature, Sake brewing, administrative reforms and have a special section on books about early European travellers to Japan. You will find exclusive special offers on many of the books reviewed. Please remember that this publication only represents a fraction of the reviews available on our website.

We also review movies, the stage, arts and Japan related events. Japan-UK Review is constantly adding new on-line articles, so it is definitely worth a weekly visit to the homepage.
