Sasaki Shuumei is a Japanese journalist and author who has written extensively on the history of Japan. She is the founder and director of the Japan Studies Center at New York University’s Institute for Advanced Study in Japan. Shuumei’s latest book, “Japan’s Unfinished Revolution: The Origins and Development of Modern Japanese Politics,” offers a unique perspective on the origins of modern Japanese politics. In her book, Shuumei argues that the Meiji Restoration in 1868 was not a sudden event, but rather a gradual process that began with the creation of the Imperial Diet in 1853 and continued through to World War II. Shuumei’s book provides an important insight into how Japan developed its modern political system and how it differed from other countries at this time. It is also an important work in understanding how Japan became one of the most powerful countries in East Asia during its early years as a nation.
