Japan Rising: The Iwakura Embassy to the USA and Europe
English | ISBN 10: 0521513855 | 2009 | PDF | 558 pages | 1.9 MB
In 1871 Japan sent a despotic-ranking delegation to the USA and Europe, to sell treaties and trading agreements and to scrutinize how it might modernise its public and economic institutions. Led by the Foreign Minister Prince Tomomi Iwakura, the 'mission' of politicians, courtiers and officials travelled extensively around the USA for eight months, face to face with spending a further year examining the British manufacturing labor, German armaments and French culture.
