Full description for The Diaries of Sir Ernest Satow, British Minister of Tokyo (1895-1900): A Diplomat Returns to Tokyo Vol. 1

• 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.
