This volume ties together the histories of Japan and China for the
modern period prior to the 20th century. The chapters look at
Chinese and Japanese works which were written in response to events
in the other country. None of these works has received any
sustained attention in the west. As a result we get a view of how
Chinese and Japanese saw each other at a time when there were few
personal contacts allowed. Many of these texts were built on
fanciful embellishments of stories that migrated from one land to
the other. But the unique qualities of the Sino-Japanese cultural
bond seem to have conditioned the interaction so that these texts
all reveal a fascinatingly well-defined area.
