Overview: The high drama of the years following Commodore Perry’s arrival in the waters off Uraga has never been recreated more brilliantly than in this masterpiece by one of Japan’s greatest novelists. Before the Dawn recounts the turmoil, the tragedy, the dislocations, and the spiritual and intellectual adventures of life as Japan entered the modern world.The Tokugawa shogunate had held the country secure from foreign intrusion for more than two hundred years, but Perry’s Black Ships signaled the end of the old order. Under mounting pressures from internal and external enemies the shogunate crumbled and fell, to be replaced by a new government that soon betrayed the hopes of many of those who had worked hardest and sacrificed most to bring it into being.Tōson anchors his vision of the fall of the Tokugawa shogunate in the harsh and rugged beauty of the Kiso district of central Japan, focusing on the life of the great highway that runs through it, on the people of the village of Magome that had been founded by one of his ancestors, and on the life of Aoyama Hanzō, a character closely modeled after his own father.Based on scrupulous historical research, Tōson’s narrative moves back and forth between the microcosm of the Kiso and the macrocosm of national and world politics, asking the questions that would have been asked long ago if only the world had known enough to ask: What did the coming of Perry really feel like to those in power in Japan, to those in the directly involved coastal areas, and to those in the hinterlands? What was the flavor of daily life, and what did the great human cost of the Meiji Restoration mean to individual lives?Today it is Before the Dawn, more than any other single work, that has come to inform the Japanese perception of the nature and significance of the transition from late Tokugawa to early Meiji. And in its evocation of the richness and complexity of life during the final years of traditional Japan, Before the Dawn remains the standard by which all other accounts are mentioned.
