In relating the story of his life on the island of Deshima and in
the port of Yokohama during the late 1850s, Dutch merchant C. T.
Assendelft de Coningh provides both an unprecedented eyewitness
account of daily life in the Japanese treaty ports and a unique
perspective on the economic, military, and political forces the
Western imperial powers brought to bear on newly opened Japan. A
general Introduction provides essential historical and cultural
background as well as a brief biography of De Coningh; substantial
footnotes explain those terms, names, and cultural references that
may be unfamiliar to modern readers. Thirteen illustrations are
included, as are a chronology of events, a bibliography, and an
index.
