Book Description

These are the edited (i.e. transcribed, annotated and indexed) diaries of Sir Ernest Satow (1843-1929) for the six years from the time when he left Japan early in 1883, through his time as Agent and Consul-General and subsequent promotion to Minister Resident at Bangkok, until his return to London and his request in December 1887 for another posting on health grounds. The period includes his visits to Japan (officially for rest and recuperation) in 1884 and 1886, and to Paris, Rome and Lisbon for research into the Jesuits in Japan conducted early in 1888, and the confirmation of his appointment to Montevideo in October of that year. Throughout the period his ultimate goal was promotion to Minister in Japan, which he achieved in 1895. The original diaries are in the National Archives (UK). Published for the first time on lulu.com.

Book Description

Sir Ernest Satow's well-known best-seller "A Diplomat in Japan" (first published in 1921) which is still widely available in paperback is based mainly on his diaries ("journals") for 1862-69. The unabridged diaries in this volume, carefully transcribed from original documents held at the U.K. National Archives and published for the first time on lulu.com, tell the story of Ernest Satow's subsequent years in Japan (and home leaves in Britain, France, Germany and Italy) up until the start of 1883. This fully annotated book includes an introduction by former U.K. Ambassador to Japan Sir Hugh Cortazzi, six black & white illustrations, a map, a select bibliogaphy, a chronology and an index. (This book is part of a series in which some of the extensive and hitherto unpublished Satow Papers are being made available in print to scholars and the general reading public by Ian Ruxton.)

Book Description

LARGE PAPERBACK. The diaries of Sir Ernest Satow, British Minister in Tokyo 1895-1900, transcribed, annotated and indexed by Ian Ruxton with an introduction by Dr. Nigel Brailey. At the time there was no Ambassador and Satow was the chief British representative in Japan, overseeing the Tokyo legation with consulates at Yokohama, Nagasaki, Kobe and Hakodate. His work in easing the ending of extraterritoriality and facilitating the transfer of jurisdiction in the foreign settlements (treaty ports) to Japan in July 1899 was an essential precondition for the Anglo-Japanese Alliance of 1902. (First published as a hardcover in 2003 by Edition Synapse of Tokyo.)

Book Description

This is the first volume of Ernest M. Satow's Diaries in Japan, transcribed by Ian Ruxton. The volume covers the period of Satow's second assignment to Japan as Minister Plenipotentiary from 1895 to 1900 and includes detailed annotations, name index and bibliography by the editor. 'The diaries in this book are complete and unbroken from Satow's arrival in Japan as Minister Plenipotentiary on 28 July 1895 until his departure on 4 May 1900. Before and after these dates a few selected entries have been included by way of introduction and conclusion (a prologue and epilogue), with a very brief narrative commentary. The Lake Chuzenji diary recounting some of the events at Satow's and other diplomats' recreation hideaway near Nikko appears separately from the main diary in the Satow papers in the Public Record Office, and it has here been included separately after the main diary, although it covers the same time period, 1895-1900. (From the Editorial Preface by Ian Ruxton.) Volumes to cover the earlier years will be available at a later date.

Book Description

Sir Ernest Mason Satow (1843--1929) was a legendary British diplomat, a key figure in East Asia and Anglo--Japanese/Chinese relations, particularly in Bakumatsu (1853--1867) and Meiji Era (1868--1912) Japan, and in China after the Boxer Rebellion (1900--1906). He also served in Siam (present-day Thailand), Uruguay and Morocco, and represented Britain at the Second Hague Peace Conference in 1907. This transcribed and annotated collection consists of Satow's diaries and travel journals, which covers a period of over sixty-five years (1861 to 1926). Volume 3 covers the period of 1883--1888 he spent in Europe (January 1883--January 1884; June 1887--December 1888) and Siam (February 1884--May 1887). During his years in Siam he had also made two short trips to Japan during October--November 1884 and June--September 1886.
