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. 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.
