{"product_id":"nagasaki-the-british-experience-18541945","title":"Nagasaki: The British Experience, 18541945","description":"\u003cp\u003eLong overdue, this important first full length account in English of the history of Japans first foreign settlement, which for centuries was the countrys only front doorto the outside world, will be widely welcomed. Following the opening of Japans ports in 1859, Nagasaki rapidly became one of Japans leading industrial centres, which included shipbuilding, but, other than the history surrounding the atomic bombing of August 1945, in the postwar period, it has been largely overshadowed by interest in the Meiji settlements of Kobe and Yokohama. Fully illustrated, the value of the work is reinforced by additional key data to be found in the appendices, including the 1866 and 1898 Directories of Foreign Residents, the 1872 List of Property being Rented, a List of Existing Cultural Assets of the Former Nagasaki Foreign Settlement and a chronology of Madame Butterfly and Nagasaki.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Global Oriental","offers":[{"title":"Burke-Gaffney, Brian \/ hardcover","offer_id":47840967721205,"sku":"DADAX1906876134","price":192.55,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/5804\/8501\/files\/81_hgursZQL.jpg?v=1773752204","url":"https:\/\/ergodebooks.com\/products\/nagasaki-the-british-experience-18541945","provider":"Ergodebooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
