Presenting a challenge to established views of modern Japanese history, the narratives presented here are based on a wider than usual variety of source materials, including contemporary broadsheets, woodblock prints, political cartoons, diaries, menus, letters and local campaign literature. Special attention is placed on local initiatives, the experiences of ordinary people and new ways of looking at Japan's encounter with the West.
