Kaempfer's "The History of Japan" was the result of two years'
research in Japan in the early 1690s and was published in London in
1727; it appeared in a total of ten editions of translations and
reprints in the decade that followed - an extraordinary achievement
for a work of this kind. It became required reading for all serious
students of Japan for over a century, and was even on board
Commodore Perry's ship in 1852. Today, it remains compulsory
reading for anyone studying the Tokugawa period. Yet, little has
been published about the author, his personal encounter with
late-17th-century Japan and the way this experience came to reach
the public in the form of his three-volume history. This volume,
therefore, brings together some of the best current research on
Kaempfer and includes a close analysis of six key topics - from the
writing of the History to an interpretation of the interpreter.
