  IJourney through the dramatic evolution of Japan's feudal era in this comprehensive volume that chronicles three pivotal periods of Japanese history. From the cultural renaissance of the Muromachi Period to the chaotic warfare of the Sengoku Period, and finally to the enduring peace of the Tokugawa Shogunate, this meticulously researched work brings to life the warriors, lords, and cultural icons who shaped Japan's destiny. 
  The Muromachi Period (1336-1573) explores the rise of the Ashikaga shogunate and the unique blend of warrior culture with artistic achievement. Witness the flowering of Noh theater, ink painting, and the refined aesthetics of the "higashiyama culture" even as political power fragmented among regional warlords and Buddhist monasteries wielded military might. 
  The Sengoku Period (1467-1615) thrusts readers into Japan's turbulent "Age of Warring States," where legendary daimyo like Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and Tokugawa Ieyasu fought for supremacy. Experience the battlefield innovations, castle-building, and strategic alliances that transformed Japan's military landscape, while Portuguese firearms and Christian missionaries added new dimensions to the struggle. 
  The Tokugawa Shogunate (1603-1868) reveals how the Tokugawa clan established Japan's longest-lasting feudal government, creating an intricate social hierarchy and isolationist foreign policy that preserved peace for over 250 years. Discover how this period of stability led to the rise of the merchant class, the flourishing of ukiyo-e art, kabuki theater, and the vibrant urban culture of Edo (modern Tokyo). 
  Richly illustrated and accessibly written, this three-in-one volume provides both newcomers and history enthusiasts with a definitive guide to understanding how the interplay of war, culture, and governance shaped Japan's feudal society and continues to influence the nation today.

  Incorporating vivid hues, a palette of intriguing textures, and a scholarly understanding of exquisite objects, art, and furnishings, his work transcends period and milieu. His aesthetic spans the globe and the decades, from 18th-century English and European antiques to vintage French Modernism and the work of the finest international contemporary artisans. His projects, tailored and layered, are reminiscent of the stylish past, but always utterly up to date. With unfailing attention to scale, he is unafraid to wield a jolt of glamour or inject the unexpected, but never forgets that a room must ultimately reflect the genuine inner life of those who inhabit it.

  This is the story of Tiberius Claudius Nero, the step-son of Augustus Caesar, who, despite obstacles and his own reluctance, became the second emperor of Rome. His public life spanned the tumultuous period of transition from the Roman Republic to the Emperorship, and his private life took a series of unusual and surprising turns. He proved himself to be Rome’s greatest general of the day, but he had been forced into an unhappy marriage to Augustus’ recalcitrant daughter Julia, and he abandoned his duties and moved to the Island of Rhodes, where he studied Greek art and philosophy. Eventually, he had to return to Rome to lead the legions, and when Augustus died, Tiberius became emperor. Again, he left Rome and ruled it from the Island of Capri.
