"A FANTASY OF FAR JAPAN OR SUMMER DREAM DIALOGUES" was originally
published in 1905. The book "depicts Japanese ideals and notions at
the turn of the century, as well as some historical facts which
seemed likely to interest those of the sympathetic Western public
who may be inclined to study the psychology of Japan" and was
designed to counteract anti-Japanese sentiment emerging at the time
in the West. Viscount Kencho Suematsu (September 30, 1855 - October
5, 1920) was a Japanese politician, intellectual and author, who
lived in the Meiji and Taisho periods. He arrived in London in 1878
with the Japanese embassy and enrolled in Cambridge University in
1881. He graduated with a law degree from Cambridge (St. John's
College, Cambridge) in 1884. From 1904 to 1905 he was sent by the
Japanese cabinet to Europe to argue Japan's case in the
Russo-Japanese War. Apart from his activity in the Japanese
government as Communications Minister (1898) and Home Minister
(1900-01), he also wrote several important works on Japan in
English.
