This is an important document in the history of Japanese-American
relations. In 2002, President Bush spoke of the great Japanese
scholar and statesman Inazo Nitobe, who envisioned a future of
friendship between the two nations. This book is one of the means
by which Nitobe sought to bridge the Pacific. Writing before World
War I, he presents a detailed account of Japan and the Japanese in
terms easily understandable to western readers, emphasising points
of similarity rather than difference, often citing the work of
western historians and philosophers in order to explain Japanese
practices, always searching for common aims and goals. He deals
with the effect of the past on the present, national
characteristics, religious beliefs, morals and moral ideals,
education, economic conditions, Japan as coloniser, relations
between the United States and Japan, and AmericaaEURO (TM)s
influence in the Far East, concluding with the hope that wherever
else war may break out, lasting peace would reign over the Pacific.
In this he was disappointed, but the fact that Nitobe is cited
today as the architect of Japanese-American friendship makes this
volume essential reading for the historian.
