Description

Explore the historical transformation of Japan as it emerged from a long period of self-imposed isolation. This book by Routledge examines the developing relationship between Japan and the West, with a specific focus on the close ties formed with Britain. Following 1859, Japan sought to modernize by looking toward Western industrial techniques. This includes the study of design and engineering skills that supported modern industrialization. While adopting new technologies, Japan also maintained a strong sense of pride in its own heritage. The text details how high quality products of traditional Japanese craftsmanship were exhibited and sold in the West, creating a new cultural exchange. Readers will learn how these two nations built connections through both industrial learning and the global appreciation of Japanese art and craft. This work provides a detailed look at the period when Japan began to redefine its place in the global community through its interactions with Britain.
