Meiroku Zasshi
William R. Braisted
Trained as Western experts during the reopening of the country after 1853, the men who wrote for the Meiroku Zosshi introduced mid-nineteenth-century European and American culture to Japan. This crucial work in Japanese cultural history is now accessible to readers in a translation by William R. Braisted. Nowhere else can one find gathered together such representative writings by the leading intellectuals of the day.
