Description
This comprehensive biography examines It Hirobumi (1841-1909), Japan's first prime minister and the influential statesman who shaped the nation's modernisation during the Meiji era. Drawing on primary sources, the work corrects historical misunderstandings about It 's political thought and vision for Japan's development. The narrative traces his remarkable journey from humble origins as a farmer's son, through his exceptional early talents, to his transformative studies in Europe and the United States. Upon returning to Japan, It became convinced that Western civilisation offered the only sustainable path forward for his nation. Following the Meiji Restoration of 1868, he emerged as a powerful intellectual force, fundamentally influencing Japan's constitutional framework and modernisation trajectory. This Routledge Studies volume provides essential insight into one of Asia's most significant historical figures and his enduring impact on Japanese governance and society.
