A History of Japan: During the Century of Early Foreign Intercourse, 1542-1651 is a book written by James Murdoch and published in 1903. The book provides a comprehensive account of Japan's history during the 16th and 17th centuries, a period marked by the country's interactions with foreign powers. Murdoch examines the arrival of Portuguese traders in Japan in 1542, which marked the beginning of a new era in Japanese history. He also discusses the arrival of other European powers, such as the Dutch and the English, and the impact they had on Japanese society and culture. The book covers a range of topics, including the rise of Christianity in Japan, the establishment of trade relations with Europe, the political and social changes that occurred during this period, and the eventual closing of Japan to foreign influence.
