Book Synopsis
Although Japanese scholars have acclaimed Baba Bunk (1718–1759) as the most outstanding essayist and public speaker of the Tokugawa period, Western historians have long ignored him. Through a close critical analysis of Baba Bunk’s often humorous, but always biting, satirical essays a new picture of the hidden world of Christianity in eighteenth-century Japan emerges.
