Japanese civilisation and its unique culture has often represented an enigma to the rest of the world. In this anthology a large number of experts explore Japan s history and aspects of the Japanese quest for a national identity and what it means to the rest of the world through topics like architecture, religion, manga, Christianity in Japan and the Samurais.

This work covers 19th-century Japan through the life story of Boston journalist Edward H. House (1836-1901), America's first regular correspondent in Japan. It covers Japan's use of public relations as a diplomatic tool, the contentious relations of the expatriate community, and US-Japan relations.
