Reviews"A collection of thirty essays that Mr. Keene originally published in Japanese in the Tokyo newspaper Asahi Shimbun. The book begins where his earlier volume on pre-modern diaries, Travelers of a Hundred Ages, leaves off. There may be few people in Japan, a nation of diarists, who have not kept private records at some time in their lives. The aims of individual diarists, however, differ widely; so do their styles, ranging from the severely objective to the confessional.... In each chapter, Mr. Keene provides a narrative of the events in the diarist's life that the work illuminates, with quotations from that work in passing." -- New York Times Book Review

Edition DescriptionReprint
SynopsisThis is a collection of journals written by Japanese men and women--from samurai and other government officials to novelists and poets--who journeyed to America, Europe, and China between 1860 and 1920. The diaries faithfully record personal views of the countries and their cultures and sentiments that range from delight to disillusionment. At once an intimate account of the travellers' lives and a testimony to the greater struggles and advances of their cultures, Donald Keene's eloquent translation and commentary invites the reader to partake in the world as each person experienced it., This is a collection of journals written by Japanese men and women---from samurai and other government officials to novelists and poets----who journeyed to America, Europe, and China between 1860 and 1920.
