Kipling visited Japan in 1889 and 1892. No other leading English literary figure of his day spent so long in that country or wrote so fully about it. Kipling's newspaper dispatches from Japan were described by the great Japanologist Basil Han Chamberlain as 'the most graphic even penned by a globetrotter'. These vivid pen-pictures, together with Kipling's other writings about Japan, are now collected by Sir Hugh Cortazzi and George Webb, carefully edited with an introduction and Notes. First published in 1988, this title is part of the Bloomsbury Academic Collections series.

In 1902, the British government concluded a defensive alliance with Japan, a state that had surprised much of the world with its sudden rise to prominence. For the next two decades, the Anglo-Japanese alliance would hold the balance of power in East Asia, shielding Japan as it cemented its regional position, and allowing Britain to concentrate on meeting the German challenge in Europe. Yet it was also a relationship shaped by its contradictions. Empire Ascendant examines how officials and commentators across the British imperial system wrestled with the implications of Japan's unique status as an Asian power in an international order dominated by European colonial empires. On the settlement frontiers of Australasia and North America, white colonial elites formulated their own responses to the growth of Japan's power, charged by the twinned forces of colonial nationalism and racial anxiety, as they designed immigration laws to exclude Japanese migrants, developed autonomous military and naval forces, and pressed Britain to rally behind their vision of a 'white empire'. Yet at the same time, the alliance legitimised Japan's participation in great-power diplomacy, and worked to counteract racist notions of a 'yellow peril'. By the late 1900s, Japan stood at the centre of a series of escalating inter-imperial disputes over foreign policy, defence, migration, and ultimately, over the future of the British imperial system itself. This account weaves together studies of diplomacy, strategy, and imperial relations to pose searching questions about how Japan's entry into the 'family of civilised nations' shaped, and was shaped by, ideologies of race.

This book explores and re-evaluates Kipling’s connection with India, its people, culture, languages, and locales through his experiences and his writings. Kipling’s works attracted interest among a large section of the British public, stimulating curiosity in their far-off Indian Empire, and made many canonize him as an emblem of the ‘Raj’. This volume highlights the astonishing social and thematic range of his Indian writings as represented in The Jungle Books; Kim; his early verse; his Simla-based tales of Anglo-Indian intrigues and love affairs; his stories of the common Indian people; and his journalism. It brings together different theoretical and contextual readings of Kipling to examine how his experience of India influenced his creative work and conversely how his imperial loyalties conditioned his creative engagement with India. The 18 chapters here engage with the complexities and contradictions in his writings and analyse the historical and political contexts in which he wrote them, and the contexts in which we read him now. With well-known contributors from different parts of the world – including India, the UK, the USA, Canada, France, Japan, and New Zealand – this book will be of great interest not only to those interested in Kipling’s life and works but also to researchers and scholars of nineteenth-century literature, comparative studies, postcolonial and subaltern studies, colonial history, and cultural studies.

Rudyard Kipling coined the phrase "Oh East is East and West is West and never the twain shall meet." This referenced the gulf of understanding between the British and the peoples of the Indian subcontinent. Kipling was perhaps blissfully ignorant of the falsehood he helped to fuel for in the case of Japan nothing could be further from the truth. It is self-evident how Japanese culture has significantly impacted on the world. This ranges from sushi, California and otherwise to origami and anime or judo and karate to beatniks crafting haiku Zen poetry. The reverse is also true. British diplomats had already concluded by the early 1970s that most Japanese were, in many respects, leading essentially Western lifestyles. When Melvil Dewey devised the Dewey Decimal System for classification of library books in 1876, he grouped history, geography and biography together in one section. He was acknowledging that the three are almost invariably linked together. History without geography or biography is little more than a tedious and meaningless list of dates; biography minus history has no context. Europeans had known of Japan for over two hundred years before they set foot on its shores. "People on the Island of Zipangu (Japan) have tremendous quantities of gold. The King's palace is roofed with pure gold, and his floors are paved in gold two fingers thick." So wrote the Venetian merchant Marco Polo (1254-1324). Because of his book, The Travels of Marco Polo, Europeans believed that "Zipangu" was a land of gold, and Columbus later sailed across the Atlantic in search of it." However, the first known contact with Europeans on Japanese soil had to wait until around 1542 when the Portuguese adventurer Fernao Mendez Pinto sailed to Japan from mainland Asia in search of riches. Over the next five centuries countless numbers of people headed off to Japan for reasons as varied as the individuals themselves. Some were missionaries, intent on proselytizing their faith. Others like Pinto were motivated by dreams of monetary gain. Then there were those who came purely to fulfill contracts, or who arrived by chance and ended up staying for a lifetime. There were others who never actually set foot in Japan but nevertheless impacted greatly on its history, or helped to introduce its culture to the wider world. Everybody has a story to tell, so it is said. The collated tales of nearly 200 men and women together relate the bigger picture of how Japan at first welcomed European visitors only to almost completely seal itself off from the outside world a few decades later. Compelled by the threat of naval bombardment by the United States in the mid-nineteenth century, Japan grudgingly at first, reopened its doors. Less than a decade later it embarked on an unprecedented program of modernization and development. Forty years on it had been transformed from what was essentially a feudal police state into a naval power capable of defeating the Russian fleet. The biographies of people who contributed to the history of meetings between Japan and the outside world are listed in approximately chronological order. Some have been grouped, such as with science or sports, when they are roughly contemporary in an attempt to make for a more cohesive reading experience. Cross-referencing is provided so the reader can witness the interactions and influences from contemporary figures whose stories are connected in some fashion. The book is best read in sequence. Although each story is complete in itself, people with little or no prior knowledge of Japanese history are recommended to begin at the beginning as they will find it more coherent and easier to follow. This is the second edition which includes some updates and additional information."
