First British Travelers and Residents in Japan: Sources and Perspectives of Research

Original language description

After the opening of the Japanese ports in the 50s of the 19th century, many foreigners started to visit the country. Due to the degree of their interest in the Far East, Britons were one of the most numerous and accordingly left quite many accounts of their experience in Japan. Thanks to the popularity of travelogues in the 19th century and the effort to record the observations on new cultures and societies, the visitors to Japan left a considerable written inheritance, through which it is now possible to follow their individual opinions and attitudes. Although these sources are highly subjective and must be used with a certain amount of caution, their comparative analysis can bring interesting results. The critical fact to note is that modern historians have primary sources of various proveniences and backgrounds at their disposal. Their authors had different reasons for coming to Japan, diverse levels of education, social standing, and different gender identity, which contributed to the fact that their perception of Japan was not the same. This phenomenon constitutes a broad possibility for further study into the topic of travels to Japan and the British view of Japanese culture and society. Although the topic of British-Japanese relations and the cultural exchange between both countries in the Bakumatsu and Early Meiji Periods was popular among modern historians in recent decades, there are still opportunities to study some specific topics to better understand the experience of the British in Japan.
