Travels China Japan & Java

First published in 2006. This unique perspective on China Japan and Java is written by His Highness the Indian Raja-I-Rajgan Jagatjit Singh of Kapurthala as a record of his brief visit to the Far East for the intimate presentation to his friends. This is less an academic analysis and more a documentation of personal impressions and experiences in his destinations. The Raja-I-Rajgan Jagatjit Singh writes at the turn-of the- century when public interest had turned towards the course of the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-05 where battles were fought over dominance in Korea and Manchuria. This circumstance as well as the author's royal position allow for a particularly fascinating take on travel in this part of the world.
