In the years after 1868, when Japan's long period of self-imposed
isolation ended, in nursing, as in every other aspect of life, the
Japanese looked to the west. This book tells the story of 'Florence
Nightingale-ism' in Japan, showing how Japanese nursing developed
from 1868 to the present. It discusses how Japanese nursing adopted
western models, implementing 'Nightingale-ism' in a conscious,
caricature way, and implemented it more fully, at least on the
surface, than in Britain. At the same time Japanese nurses had to
cope, with great difficulty, with traditional Japanese attitudes,
which were strongly opposed to women being involved in professions
of any kind, and, as the book shows, western models did not in fact
penetrate very deeply.
