Summary
"Modern Japanese Diaries" is a collection of journals written by Japanese who journeyed to America, Europe, and China between 1860 and 1920. It begins with entries by the first Japanese to be sent abroad when the country ended more than 200 years of isolation. Faithfully kept day to day, the diaries record personal yet overarching views of various countries and their cultures, whether experienced as delight or disillusion.
