Continuing the context of Anglo-Japanese exchange and historic
connections from the first volume, Volume II incorporates a further
20 studies of key personalities. This includes: Edmund Morel,
pioneer railway builder in Meiji Japan; Alexander Shand, an
important figure in the development of Japanese banking; Lafcadio
Hearn, the great interpreter of Japanese culture; Rev Dr John
Batchelor, whose work with the Ainu people of northern Japan is
well-known; and, more recently, Shigeru Yoshida, Japan's first
post-war prime minister, and Christmas Humphreys, founder of the
Buddhist Society, whose work and writings provided a jey post-war
bridge in East-West understanding.
