Description

This groundbreaking study examines the formative years of contract management between Japanese and Western merchants in Japan's Treaty Ports during the 18 years following the ports' opening in 1859. The book explores the complex interplay of cultural and legal differences that shaped early commercial relationships, detailing the steep learning curve both parties faced when navigating Western contracting law. Through careful analysis of trial-and-error experiences, misunderstandings, and eventual adaptations, the author reveals how Japanese traders gradually mastered international commercial practices whilst Western merchants grappled with unfamiliar cultural contexts. This first comprehensive account demonstrates how practical contracting disputes became crucial drivers of Japan's legal modernisation and integration into global trade networks during a pivotal period of nation-building.

Key Features

The book covers the 18-year period immediately following the 1859 opening of Japan's Treaty Ports to international trade.

Examines east-west cultural and legal ambiguities that shaped early contracting practices between Japanese and Western merchants.

Provides the first in-depth study of trial-and-error contract management experiences during Japan's critical modernisation era.

Published by Routledge as part of the Japan Library series, offering scholarly authority on Japanese business and legal history.

Explores how misunderstandings and disputes over Western contracting law influenced Japan's legal and commercial development.
