Summary: "Shibusawa; or, The Passing of Old Japan" by I. William Adams is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative revolves around the life of Shibusawa, the son of the lord daimyo of Kanazawa, during a time of significant cultural transition in Japan as it emerges from the constraints of tradition. The plot explores themes of love, duty, and the clash of personal desire against societal expectations, highlighting the protagonist’s relationships and struggles. At the start of the book, Shibusawa is born into a noble family, and the opening chapters detail his early life, upbringing, and the cultural norms surrounding his family. His father, Maido, is a powerful daimyo who holds specific ambitions for his son amidst the backdrop of Japan's rigid social structure and traditions. The narrative quickly introduces Shibusawa's growing consciousness and his budding love for Kinsan, the gardener's daughter, setting the stage for the conflict that arises when a marriage proposal comes from the mikado's daughter, Takara, thrusting Shibusawa into a dilemma between love and obligation to his family's honor and societal expectations.
