Holme was one of the first chairmen of the Japan Society’s council (1904–07) and the founder of the influential art journal, The Studio, which played such an important role in the history of art especially at the turn of the twentieth century. I also knew him as a friend of Sir Alfred East RA, whose diary of his visit to Japan I had edited in 1991. 1 Holme’s other travelling companions were his friend Lasenby Liberty, who founded the famous eponymous store in London’s West End, and Emma Lasenby Liberty, whose photographs of Japan I had seen in a privately printed edition. Fortunately, I managed to find a copy of this book thereby enabling reproduction of her photographs to be included in this volume. Holme was a business associate of Christopher Dresser who did so much to introduce Japanese art into Britain and became one of the most important designers of Victorian England. His book Japan: Its Architecture, Art and Art Manufactures, published in London in 1882, was a seminal work. Holme’s diary is not just another run-of-the-mill globe-trotter’s account of a visit to Japan in the late Victorian era. It is interesting for his descriptions of the places he visited in Japan and the people he met, including the young Rudyard Kipling, whose account of his two visits to Japan are contained in Kipling’s Japan: Collected Writings .2 More important are Holme’s sensitive reactions to aspects of Meiji Japan and to everyday Japanese objects. His sketches and drawings which he inserted into his diary add greatly to its interest. For Holme the journey marked a high point in his life and had a significant influence on his work as editor of The Studio . It made him a significant promoter of what became known in the West as Japonisme . HUGH CORTAZZI 1. A British Artist in Meiji Japan , Brighton: In Print Publishing, 1991 2.

Thanks especially to Sir Hugh Cortazzi, without whom this book might never have been published, and for his great kindness in acquiring the volume of Liberty photographs and making them available to us. To the Daiwa Anglo-Japanese Foundation who awarded us a grant making it possible to visit Japan, and to Tsuda College, Tokyo, for their hospitality and support of the open symposium: ‘British Japonisme and Charles Holme: Asian Trade, The Studio and his trip to Japan ’. Thanks too, to Harunori Ohmori and Midori Ohmori for making our stay in Kyoto such a pleasurable experience, and to Gregory Irvine, Senior Curator, Japan, Victoria and Albert Museum, for reading the final manuscript and con - tributing many helpful suggestions . NOTE ON THE TEXT What survives of Holme’s original handwritten diary is now in the possession of the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, together with the complete carbon copy. The version that appears here is a virtually un-edited transcript of that copy. Had he known that his account would one day appear in print, Holme might have rewritten some of the more awkward passages, but its uniqueness is in the immediacy of the experiences he describes, and it deserves to be read ‘as written ’. Holme made a number of sketches in the diary to illustrate items of partic - ular interest or curiosity. Some were no more than doodles.

In writing it his object was to describe, for English- speaking people, the main facts of Japanese history. Despite the efforts of numerous Orientalists to popularize knowledge of Japanese history and of Japanese political, economic, and social conditions, he felt that a great deal has yet to be done before the average British youth and adult will be as familiar with Japan as the average Japanese youth and adult are with Great Britain.

  • Wallace Irwin, Hashimura Togo, and the Japanese Immigrant in America
    The Japanese Journal of American Studies, No. 17 (2006) “Will White Man and Yellow Man Ever Mix?”: Wallace Irwin, Hashimura Togo, and the Japanese Immigrant in America Yoshiko UZAWA* I In November 1907, “Letters of a Japanese Schoolboy,” a literary column featuring an imaginary Japanese named Hashimura Togo, was launched in the New York weekly Collier’s. Togo was the pseudonym of a Scotch-Irish writer, Wallace Irwin (1875–1959), then a staff writer of this weekly. The author and the editor first kept the fact that Irwin was Togo to themselves. However, it did not take a month before a number of letters inquiring about Togo’s racial identity flooded Collier’s edito- rial staff room. The author and the editor, with the help of James Hare, a war photojournalist famous for his coverage of the Russo-Japanese War, took a portrait-photograph of “Hashimura Togo” (Fig.1). Given yellowface make-up, Irwin posed before the camera in exactly the same way as President Theodore Roosevelt posed in his life-size portrait hung as the backdrop. This photo appeared as Togo’s in the fourth installment of “Letters,” provocatively titled “The Yellow Peril.”1 The photo some- how satisfied most sceptical readers at least for a couple more months, until Collier’s in its editorial bulletin of May 1908 finally took readers Copyright © 2006 Yoshiko Uzawa.

  • Japan and Britain After 1859: Creating Cultural Bridges/Olive Checkland
    Japan and Britain after 1859 This is a study of the cultural bridges between Japan and Britain after Japan was forced to open her doors to Western intrusion. The Japanese were shocked to discover they had no foreign trade with which to bargain. They quickly recognised the importance of ‘export’ware, pretty china, to create a demand. Their campaign to hijack the Great Exhibition, worldwide, succeeded beyond their wildest dreams. Everywhere Westerners were enchanted by Japanese pavilions, gardens and tea-houses. In Japan they snapped up books in English and had British architects build Western style buildings. In Britain, Japonisme became a craze. Everyone, including the music hall artiste Marie Lloyd, joined the fun. The wild success of The Mikado (1885) is a reminder of the excitement. Behind all this there were serious men and women, like the artist Frank Brangwyn, the anthropologist Isabella Bird, the poet Laurence Binyon and the potter Bernard Leach who were also committed to Japan and Japanese culture. It is the activities and experiences of these, and similar, individuals, and the broader background against which they operated, that are the main concern of this book.
