In the years following Japan's long period of self-imposed isolation from the world, Japan developed a new relationship with the West, and especially with Britain, where relations grew to be particularly close. The Japanese, embarrassed by their perceived comparative backwardness, looked to the West to learn modern industrial techniques, including the design and engineering skills which underpinned them. At the same time, taking great pride in their own culture, they exhibited and sold high quality products of traditional Japanese craftsmanship in the West, stimulating a thirst for, and appreciation of, Japanese arts and crafts. This book examines the two-way bridge-building cultural exchange which took place between Japan and Britain in the years after 1859 and into the early years of the twentieth century. Topics covered include architecture, industrial design, prints, painting and photographs, together with a consideration of Japanese government policy, the Japan-Britain Exhibition of 1910, and commercial spin-offs. In addition, there are case studies of key individuals who were particularly influential in fostering British-Japanese cultural bridges in this period.

The Nagasaki British Consulate was established on June 13, 1859, the first official British representation in Japan since the closure of the English East India Company factory at Hirado in 1623. Over the following decades, the consulate served as a node on the vast commercial and cultural networks of the British Empire, watching the growth of Nagasaki as an international port and the rise of Japan as a world power. The author discusses the history of the consulate from the first years in a Buddhist temple to its final location on the Nagasaki waterfront and abandonment shortly after the outbreak of World War II. He sheds light on the life and times of successive consuls, including the first consul George S. Morrison and the last consul Ferdinand C. Greatrex, who was arrested and confined by Japanese military police and deported by exchange ship the following year. The author also describes the immediate postwar period when the people of Nagasaki picked up the broken pieces of their city after the atomic bombing and the British government revived diplomatic relations with Japan. Sold to Nagasaki City in 1955, the former Nagasaki British Consulate is a National Important Cultural Property and local heritage site. Until now, however, little attention has been paid to the colorful history of the consulate--the first opened in Japan and the last to close when World War II drove a wedge between Great Britain and Japan.

This text traces the history of three Far Eastern embassies through the vicissitudes of war and revolution against the background of an apparent steady decline of Western influence in Asia. Dr Hoare tracks the key events and people shaping the British view of Asia. Key 'dramatis personae' are Sir Harry Parkes, British Minister to Japan, China and Korea; Sir Ernest Satow, the student interpreter who became Minister in Tokyo and Peking, and in more recent years, Sir Charles Eliot, lover of big cars and scholar of Buddhism. This book will interest those wishing to know more about all aspects of Britain in East Asia, whether in the tense years of the Boxer troubles in China, during the wartime repatriation of Britons from Japan and the Japanese Empire, in the traumas of the Korean War, or during the excess of China's Cultural Revolution.
