Kobiakova: My first day in Japan (Gifu, 1913); IndexBefore Japan was 'opened up' in the 1850s, contact with Russia as well as other western maritime nations was extremely limited. Yet from the early eighteenth century onwards, as a result of their expanding commercial interests in East Asia and the North Pacific, Russians had begun to encounter Japanese and were increasingly eager to establish diplomatic and trading relations with Japan. This book presents rare narratives written by Russians, including official envoys, scholars and, later, tourists, who visited Japan between 1792 and 1913. The introduction and notes set these narratives in the RoutledgeCurzon studies in the modern history of Asia ;23.International relationsJapanDescription and travelRussiaRelationsJapanJapanRelationsRussiaInternational relations.952.025952/.02515.75bclWells David N.1959-1647139FlBoTFGFlBoTFGBOOK9910816359103321Russian views of Japan, 1792-19133994554UNINA
