Based on the author’s detailed diary, personal encounters, and keen memory, this book is a record of the inner history of the critical years of social and political upheaval that accompanied Japan’s first encounters with the West around the time of the Meiji Restoration.
**Sir Ernest Mason Satow** (1843–1929) was a member of the British legation in Tokyo for twenty-one years.
