Description: This book provides an extensive overview of Japanese customs and culture at the start of the 19th century, as experienced by Russian ambassador, Golovnin, and a Dutch delegation. Based largely on the observations of Engelbert Kaempfer, a German physician who spent two years in Japan in the 17th century, the book explores the rich tapestry of Japanese society, examining everything from the role of women and children to the complex systems of rank, etiquette, and religion. It delves deeply into the unique traditions, rituals, and ceremonies that defined everyday life in Japan, offering a fascinating glimpse into this enigmatic and captivating culture.
