During the period of the Tokugawa shogunate's seclusion policy from
about 1630 onwards there was very little European interaction with
the Japanese except through the restricted Dutch presence at
Nagasaki. During this period, however, Russians exploring Siberia
and the Russian Far East came into contact with Japan, and further
exploration and information collecting was encouraged by the
Russian government, culminating in the first official Russian
Embassy to Japan in 1792. This book examines the Russian discourse
on Japan in the period, tracing the gradual accumulation of
knowledge, and the development of Russian views, sometimes
distorted, about Japan. The book includes key historical documents,
some translated into English for the first time. The book is a
prequel to the author's previous book, Russian Views of Japan,
1792-1913: An Anthology of Early Travel Writing.
