| Description: |
An introduction to the achievements of the father of Japanese archaeology, William Gowland, this book has more than 300 photographs, including valuable pictures of Japanese imperial mausolea which are now closed to the general public. |
| Synopsis: |
During his stay in Japan as one of the foreign technicians employed to aid the Westernization and industrialization of Japan, William Gowland (1842-1922) conducted the first truly accurate scientific surveys of burial mounds (kofun) of the 3rd-7th centuries, including a number of imperial mausolea. Illustrated with many photographs, mainly taken by himself, this book introduces, describes and evaluates his achievements, now highly regarded by Japanese archaeologists, and considers the fruits of his work. |
