Excerpt from Around the World Through Japan

But in spite of the measures taken by the Tokugawa Shogun to keep all knowledge of passing events from the foreigners, Kaempfer, who went out in 1690 as a surgeon in the service of the Dutch East India Company and remained over two years in the Dutch settlement, was enabled to gather the materials for his History of Japan, which was published in English in 1728. From this time until Commodore Perry secured the opening of three ports by the treaty of 1854 with the Shogun, or Taikun, little was added to the world's knowledge of Japan. In fact, it was not until the lst of July, 1859, that Hakodate, Nagasaki, and Kanagawa (yokohama) were opened to foreign commerce, while Niigata was only opened on 1st of January, 1860, and Hyogo three years later. Brit ish subjects were permitted to reside in Yedo (tokyo) from lst January, 1862, and in Osaka from the following January.

Excerpt from Around the World Through Japan

These notes and impressions are published in the hope that they will recall pleasant days to those who have been around the world and through Japan, that they will prepare those who are about to make a similar tour for some of its inevitable disappointments as well as enjoyments, and that they will prove not altogether uninteresting to those who neither have been nor intend to be globe-trotters.
