  abstract: Jonathan Clements charts the rise of Japan since the end of World War Two. Presenting the country as the Japanese themselves see it, he explains key issues in national reconstruction, the often-overlooked US occupation, the influence of the Cold War, student unrest, political scandals and the meteoric rise and sudden fall of the Japanese economy in the late 20th century. He chronicles changes in women's rights and consumer habits, developments in politics, education and health today and the shadow of nuclear issues from Hiroshima to Fukushima. He also raises topics rarely covered by the foreign media, Japan's ethnic minorities and burakumin underclass, the influence of organised crime and the hard sell behind "soft" power. A final chapter examines the price Japan has paid for its meteoric rise, the problems of a greying population and a declining countryside and the long-term implications of the Tohoku earthquake and tsunami.
