Summary |
Bird's visit to Japan is placed in the context of her worldwide life of travel and introduces the woman herself. With detailed maps, it offers a highly illuminating view of Japan and its people in the early years of the 'New Japan' following the Meiji Restoration; a valuable new critique on what is often considered as Bird's most important work |
