In this extraordinary collection of writings, covering the period
from 1878 to 1989, a wide range of Japanese visitors to the United
States offer their vivid, and sometimes surprising perspectives on
Americans and American society. Peter Duus and Kenji Hasegawa have
selected essays and articles by Japanese from many walks of life:
writers and academics, bureaucrats and priests, politicians and
journalists, businessmen, philanthropists, artists. Their views
often reflect power relations between America and Japan,
particularly during the wartime and postwar periods, but all of
them dealt with common themes - America's origins, its ethnic
diversity, its social conformity, its peculiar gender relations,
its vast wealth, and its cultural arrogance - making clear that
while Japanese observers often regarded the U.S. as a mentor, they
rarely saw it as a role model.
