Explores China's representations of Japan in the changing world of the late nineteenth century. This work examines the cultural and social borders between the two neighbours. Looking at Chinese accounts of Japan written during the 1870s and 1880s, it offers an analysis of the main genres the Chinese used to portray Japan.

This book explores the multiple legal grounds of Meiji Japan's assertion of sovereign statehood within that order: natural law, treaty law, international administrative law, and the laws of war.
