Taking advantage of his diplomatic privilege in Japan to travel
further and inquire deeper than other foreigners, Swiss envoy Aime
Humbert (1819-1900) brought back stories of life under the Tokugawa
shogunate in its final years. First published in the journal Le
Tour du monde in 1866, his account of Japanese history and daily
life was republished as Le Japon illustre in 1870. This 1874
English translation brought readers up to date by including
additional chapters on the 1868 revolution and its aftermath.
Humbert focused his narrative on the history and culture of four
locations: Benten, the foreign settlement at Yokohama; Kyoto, where
emperors had resided for centuries; Kamakura, the old centre of
political power; and Yeddo, now Tokyo, the new capital of Japan.
Featuring almost 200 illustrations taken from Humbert's collection
of prints and photographs, this book captures descriptively and
pictorially a country on the verge of dramatic political and social
change.
