{"product_id":"tsji-interpreters-in-and-around-mino-saito-9783031376511","title":"Ts\u0026#363;ji, Interpreters in and Around Early Modern Japan","description":"This book introduces English-speaking audiences to \u003ci\u003etsūji\u003c\/i\u003e, who were interpreters in different contexts in Japan and then the Ryukyu Kingdom from the late 16th to the mid-19th century. It comprises seven historical case studies on \u003ci\u003etsūji\u003c\/i\u003e in which contributors adopt a context-oriented approach. They aim to explore the function of these interpreters in communication with other cultures in different languages, including Japanese, Dutch, Chinese, Korean, Ryukyuan, English, Russian and Ainu. Each chapter elucidates the \u003ci\u003etsūji\u003c\/i\u003e and the surrounding social, political and economic conditions. The book will be of interest to students and scholars of translation and interpreting, but also readers interested in the early modern history of interpreting and cultural exchange. It will similarly appeal to those interested in the Japanese language, but with limited access to books written in Japanese.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mino Saito\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 303137651X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783031376511\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/28\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 206\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.92lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.56d","brand":"Mino Saito","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48442795688191,"sku":"9783031376511","price":169.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3cdd321d-7fc2-40e2-8369-ead5cf9edde3.jpg?v=1777199829","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/tsji-interpreters-in-and-around-mino-saito-9783031376511","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
