Synopsis: |
Japan is currently at the forefront in the areas of high-speed rail transport and automobile manufacturing. Yet just over 100 years ago the movement of goods and people in Japan was largely carried out on foot and by ox cart. Covering 120 years, from 1867 to 1980, Japanese historians of transportation describe the creation of the modern transportation system we see today. Divided into eight historical stages, their survey traces the development of road, river, coastal and rail transport. |
