Eleven years after the restoration of the monarchy the country was embarking on a period of rapid industrial and military development. Published in 1880 and part history part travel narrative Reed''s book gives a fascinating insight into Japan during a key period in her history and is an informal yet informed assessment of its people customs history and geography.

It concludes with a valuable assessment by Reed of the political social and industrial reforms and developments that he witnessed.
