A fascinating glimpse of life in Japan in 1920 as experienced through the eyes of an observant and sensitive American missionary whose travels took him beyond Tokyo to the mountainous Tohoku region and to the cities of Sendai, Kobe, and Osaka. Vivid descriptions of slum life and observations on the powerless position of women are juxtaposed with an account of a meeting with the last Shogun of Japan. Conversations with a wide variety of people revealed to the Rev. Minton the stirrings of war sentiment even in 1920. The photographs offer a superb visual record.

Japan closed its doors to foreigners for over two hundred years because of religious and political instability caused by Christianity. By 1859, foreign residents were once again living in treaty ports in Japan, but edicts banning Christianity remained enforced until 1873. Drawing on an impressive array of English and Japanese sources, Ion investigates a crucial era in the history of Japanese-American relations the formation of Protestant missions. He reveals that the transmission of values and beliefs was not a simple matter of acceptance or rejection: missionaries and Christian laymen persisted in the face of open hostility and served as important liaisons between East and West.

Excerpt from An American Missionary in Japan In conclusion, it is a pleasant duty to offer my thanks to the officers of the Ameri can Board and other missionary societies, including the American Bible Society, for various courtesies received; and also to several of my colleagues whose letters in the Missionary Herald and to me per sonally have given valuable information which I could not always burden the text by acknowledging. Special thanks are due also to the Rev. G. F. Verbeck, D. D., whose paper read before the Osaka Con ference on the History of Protestant Mis sions in J apan has been repeatedly re ferred to and in a few instances quoted.
