Quotes by Kenneth G. Henshall (?)

“Yhere is a well-known saying in Japan that if a song-bird would not sing, Nobunaga would kill it, Hideyoshi would persuade it to sing, and Ieyasu would simply wait for it to sing.”

“The impact Japan has had on the modern world is enormous. It occupies less than 1/300 of the planet's land area, yet at the height of its economic growth in the 1980s it wielded one-sixth of the planet's economic might, and remains the third ranking economy in the world.”

“The use of the male pronoun above is deliberate, for the Chinese preferred their emperors to be male. This was one thing that was not modified in Japan. Although there were half of dozen reigning empresses in very early Japan, from 770 to the present only 2 females were to ascend the Japanese throne, both briefly and both in name only.”
