Harold Bolitho's final scholarly contribution, this work meticulously reconstructs the emotional and ritualistic responses to death in Tokugawa Japan. By examining the 'testimony' of diaries, letters, and funerary records, Bolitho challenges the stereotype of the stoic Japanese subject, revealing a culture deeply preoccupied with the tension between private grief and the performative requirements of status and lineage.
