Noble Cousin! Greetings from Solveig! I received my a copy a few weeks ago and have read several of the articles in it. The book is based on a session held at an AAS conference a few years back. You may be interested to know that Rath has another book coming out in about a month which also deals with Japanese food. Regardless, the menu collections in some of the earlier articles are possibly the most interesting part of the Foodways book. There is also an interesting article about dining etiquette. Regardless, Rath's other book is: www.amazon.com/gp/product/0520262271/ref=oss_productJapanese Foodways Past & PresentArticles from Part I Early Modern Japan - Honzen Dining: The Poetry of Formal Meals in Late Medieval and Early Modern Japan
- "How to Eat the Ten Thousand Things": Table Manners in the Edo Period
- "Stones for the Belly": Kaiseki Cuisine for Tea during the Early Edo Period
- Meat-eating in the Kojimachi District of Edo
- Wine-drinking Culture in Seventeenth-century Japan: The Role of Dutch Merchants

Noble Cousin! Greetings from Solveig! Hmmm, just what I need, more books.... ;-D My copy of Food and Fantasy in Early Modern Japan by Rath arrived this week. Among other things, it has a translation of Nanban ryōrisho in it. It also has a number of interesting chapters and illustrations. It also turns out that there is a translation of Shijōryū hōchōsho in Traditional Japanese Arts and Culture: An Illustrated Sourcebook (2006) |
