Encounters With Japan,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
From Library Journal This work offers a Western view of Japan from its opening to the world in 1853 to the early 1920s. Utilizing selections from contemporary books, newspapers, letters, and diaries, Tames, a freelance writer and lecturer who has produced two earlier works on Japan, does an excellent job of capturing the sense of fascination and wonder that characterized the views of English and American visitors toward what was to them an exceedingly strange and exotic place. Arranged in roughly chronological order and ranging over a wide variety of topics from customs and beliefs through aesthetics to accounts of historic events, the book is richly illustrated with line engravings and photographs. While there are more systematic and scholarly treatments of the subject available (a number of which are listed in the bibliography), the choice of selections and accompanying illustrations provided here offer an excellent introduction to the topic for the general reader.

Product Description Discusses the impressions of Britons and Americans on their excursions to Japan between 1853 and 1922, examining the customs, people, and scenery From Publishers Weekly In the years between 1853, when Commodore Perry arrived in Japan, and 1922, when this attractively packaged collection of impressions ends its survey, much of our information about Japan came from Western missionaries, military men, diplomats, businessmen and travelers. Tames ( Servant of the Shogun ) offers excerpts from their journals and letters, as well as from books and documents of the time, and ties them together with a running commentary and numerous illustrations. The material is of historical interest, but there is a sense of deja vu about the collection: like the reproductions of women in kimonos doing their hair, photos of the Ainus and Mt. Fiji, and recipes for miso soup, these impressions of an earlier Japan echo ofttold tales. And, at a time when a spate of more entertaining or serious works on Japan has enlarged our sophistication about that country, this curio's appeal is modest.
