The book is divided into three parts, each of which covers a different period of Japanese history. The first part, "The Edo Period," begins with the establishment of the Tokugawa shogunate in 1603 and ends with the Meiji Restoration in 1868. This period was a time of relative peace and stability in Japan, and it saw the development of a unique and sophisticated culture.

The second part of the book, "The Meiji Restoration," covers the period from 1868 to 1912. This was a time of great change in Japan, as the country rapidly modernized and industrialized. The Meiji Restoration also saw the rise of a new, Western-style government.

The third part of the book, "The Showa Era," covers the period from 1912 to 1926. This was a time of both progress and turmoil in Japan. The country continued to modernize and industrialize, but it also faced a number of challenges, including the Great Depression and the rise of militarism.

From Edo to Showa is a beautifully illustrated book that features over 200 images, including paintings, prints, photographs, and maps. These images help to bring the history of Japan to life and provide a visual record of the country's transformation over time.

From Edo to Showa is an essential resource for anyone interested in the history and art of Japan. This comprehensive and beautifully illustrated book provides an in-depth look at the political, social, and cultural changes that shaped Japan during this tumultuous time.
