《日本到 1600 年》追溯了日本的历史发展，从人类首次在群岛居住到 17 世纪初德川幕府统治下的政治权力的巩固。与其他有关日本早期历史的介绍性文本不同，它从影响所有社会阶层而不是少数特权和有权势的发展的角度来看待其主题。在经济方面，威廉·韦恩·法里斯描述了群岛居民如何逐渐从采集者的生存模式转向以农业为主，并辅以先进工业和先进商业经济的模式。他揭示了几个世纪以来，人们为了应对生态、政治和个人因素，从定居的农业到古老的采集者政权之间来回迁移，向农业的转变是如何发生的。尽管本书重点关注社会经济结构和经验的连续性和变化，但它绝不忽视政治和文化。大多数章节都以政治发展的概述开始，并且还考虑了文化现象，特别是宗教信仰。最后，“1600 年的日本”讨论了群岛居民与世界其他地区居民之间日益增长的联系。
"Japan to 1600" traces Japanese historical development from the first evidence of human habitation in the archipelago to the consolidation of political power under the Tokugawa shogunate at the beginning of the seventeenth century. Unlike other introductory texts on early Japanese history, it views its subject from the perspective of developments that impacted all social classes rather than the privileged and powerful few. Economically, William Wayne Farris describes how the residents of the archipelago gradually moved from a forager mode of subsistence to a more predominantly agrarian base, supplemented by sophisticated industries and an advanced commercial economy. He reveals how the transition to farming took place over many centuries as people moved back and forth from settled agriculture to older forager-collector regimes in response to ecological, political, and personal factors. Although the book focuses on continuity and change in social and economic structures and experiences, it by no means ignores the political and cultural. Most chapters begin with an outline of political developments, and cultural phenomena, particularly religious beliefs, are also taken into account. Finally, "Japan to 1600" addresses the growing connectedness between residents of the archipelago and the rest of the world.
