About the author

John Harington Gubbins

1852–1929

A British diplomat and scholar who spent much of his career in Japan, he wrote with an insider’s knowledge of the country’s language, politics, and rapid modernization. His work remains a vivid window into how Japan was understood by a careful foreign observer in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
