Isabella Bird's Unbeaten Tracks in Japan was published in 1880 and
recounts her travels in the Far East, begun four years earlier.
Bird was recommended an open-air life from an early age as a cure
for her physical and nervous difficulties. She toured the United
States and Canada, New Zealand, Australia and the Sandwich Islands,
before travelling to the Far East in order to strengthen herself to
marry Dr John Bishop and live in Edinburgh. Based on the letters
Bird wrote home, primarily to her sister, Volume 2 covers her
journeys to Yeso, Tokyo, Kyoto, and the Ise Shrines, and includes
her experiences of staying with the Hairy Ainu, the indigenous
inhabitants of northern Japan. As with the first volume, it
includes much detail of the lifestyles, customs, and habits of the
people she encountered, as well as a chapter on Japanese public
affairs.
