Book Synopsis Japan's Early Experience of Contract Management in the Treaty Ports by : Yuki Allyson Honjo
Download or read book Japan's Early Experience of Contract Management in the Treaty Ports written by Yuki Allyson Honjo and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-12-19 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first in-depth study of the early trial-and-error experiences of contracting between Japanese and western merchants trading in the Japanese Treaty Ports in the eighteen year period immediately following the opening of the ports in 1859. Fundamental to the equation were the inevitable east-west cultural and legal ambiguities that impacted on the traders. The learning curve for both westerners and Japanese regarding the nature and application of western contracting law was predictably difficult, tortuous and open to constant misunderstanding. Nevertheless, it was within such a framework that the principal benchmarks for trade with Japan were set down and which, in essence, have lasted to the present day.

Book Synopsis Life in Treaty Port China and Japan by : Donna Brunero
Download or read book Life in Treaty Port China and Japan written by Donna Brunero and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-03-30 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited volume moves beyond the traditional examination of the treaty ports of China and Japan as places of cultural interaction. It moves ‘beyond the Bund’, presenting instead the history of material culture, the everyday life of the residents of the treaty ports beyond the symbology of Shanghai's waterfront. Bringing for the first time together scholars of China and Japan, museum curators, legal, economic and architectural historians, it studies the treaty ports not only as sites of cultural exchange, but also as sites of social contestation, accommodation and mobility, covering topics as varied as day to day life itself, such as family, property and law, health and welfare, travel, visual culture and memory. The call of this volume is to peel the multiple layers of the encounter between East and West in the treaty ports of China and Japan.

Book Synopsis The Merchant's Tale by : Simon Partner
Download or read book The Merchant's Tale written by Simon Partner and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2017-12-19 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In April 1859, at age fifty, Shinohara Chūemon left his old life behind. Chūemon, a well-off farmer in his home village, departed for the new port city of Yokohama, where he remained for the next fourteen years. There, as a merchant trading with foreigners in the aftermath of Japan’s 1853 “opening” to the West, he witnessed the collapse of the Tokugawa shogunate, the civil war that followed, and the Meiji Restoration’s reforms. The Merchant’s Tale looks through Chūemon’s eyes at the upheavals of this period. In a narrative history rich in colorful detail, Simon Partner uses the story of an ordinary merchant farmer and its Yokohama setting as a vantage point onto sweeping social transformation and its unwitting agents. Chūemon, like most newcomers to Yokohama, came in search of economic opportunity. His story sheds light on vital issues in Japan’s modern history, including the legacies of the Meiji Restoration; the East Asian treaty port system; and the importance of everyday life—food, clothing, medicine, and hygiene—for national identity. Centered on an individual, The Merchant’s Tale is also the story of a place. Created under pressure from aggressive foreign powers, Yokohama was the scene of gunboat diplomacy, a connection to global markets, the birthplace of new lifestyles, and the beachhead of Japan’s modernization. Partner’s history of a vibrant meeting place humanizes the story of Japan’s revolutionary 1860s and their profound consequences for Japanese society and culture.
Book Synopsis Justice and International Law in Meiji Japan by : Giorgio Fabio Colombo
Download or read book Justice and International Law in Meiji Japan written by Giorgio Fabio Colombo and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-02-10 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book carries out a comprehensive analysis of the María Luz incident, a truly significant episode in Japanese and world history, from a legal perspective. In July 1872, the María Luz, a barque flying the Peruvian flag, carried Chinese indentured servants from Macau to Peru. After the ship stopped for repairs in Kanagawa Bay, a number of legal issues arose that were destined to change the perception and use of the law in Japan forever. The case had a tremendous impact on the collective imagination, both Japanese and international: it is one of the first occurrences in which an Asian country decided to resist the pressure of a Western nation, and responded using the most refined tools of domestic and international law. Moreover, the final outcome of the case (arbitration in front of the Czar of Russia) marks the debut of Japan on the stage of international arbitration. While historians have written widely on the subject, the legal importance of this event has been relatively neglected. This book uses the case to explore the technical legal issues Japan was facing in its transition from pre-modernity to modernity. These include unequal treaties, extraterritoriality clauses, the need to establish an updated judicial system, and a delicate balance between asserting sovereignty and resorting to diplomacy in solving disputes involving foreigners. Based on original documents, this book is an invaluable resource for researchers and academics in the fields of legal history, dispute resolution, international law, Japanese history and Asian studies.

Download or read book Japan's Treaty Ports and Foreign Settlements written by James Hoare and published by Routledge/Curzon. This book was released on 1994 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The importance of the Chinese Treaty Ports, and the foreign settlements which grew up around them, has long been recognized and is reflected in many scholarly studies. However, the Japanese treaty ports and their sometimes contentious role as regards Japan's development in the second half of the 19th century, are less well-known and scarcely studied outside Japan.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'This two-volume collection, supported by an in-depth introduction that addresses origins, actuality, endgame and afterlife, brings together for the first time contemporary documentation and more recent scholarship to give a broad picture of Japan's treaty ports and their inhabitants at work and play in the second half of the nineteenth century. Many facets of the treaty-port world are featured in the 16-page plate section (including many rarely seen images) located in Volume 2. The material selected, providing a single point of reference for future research by the academy, shows how the ports' existence and the Japanese struggle to end their special status (extraterritoriality), impacted on many aspects of modern Japan beyond their primary role as trading stations. Compared with their counterparts in China, the Japanese treaty ports cast a smaller shadow: they were far fewer - only four really mattered - and lasted for just under fifty years, while the Chinese ports made their centenary. Yet the Japanese ports were important. The thriving modern cities of Yokohama and Kobe had their origins as treaty ports. Nagasaki, a major centre of foreign trade since at least the sixteenth century, may not have owed so much to its treaty-port status, but it was a factor in its modern development.'

Book Synopsis The Revision of Japans Early Commercial Treaties by : Nigel Brailey
Download or read book The Revision of Japans Early Commercial Treaties written by Nigel Brailey and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 55 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A joint symposium between the Japan Society and the London School of Economics and Political Science was held in the Suntory and Toyota International Centres for Economics and Related Disciplines on 9 July 1999 to mark the centenary of Treaty Revision in Japan. In the Bakumatsu period of the 1850s and 1860s Japan had entered into a number of commercial treaties with foreign countries which (among other things) gave foreign nationals extraterritorial rights in Japanese treaty ports. These treaties were re-negotiated with the individual countries in the 1890s and the new treaties came into effect in July-August 1899. Hence the centenary. The four speakers covered the full period from the conclusion of the first treaties in the 1850s to the re-negotiation of the treaties in 1911. Sir Hugh Cortazzi dealt with the various initiatives which led to the first commercial treaties with Japan between 1853 and 1868. Dr James Hoare, in dealing with the working of the early treaties and the attitudes of the foreign communities in the treaty ports, pointed out that the treaties had been modified many times. Dr Nigel Brailey spoke on Sir Ernest Satow who as British minister to Japan from 1895 was the responsible official as the 'unequal treaties' were coming to an end. He had earlier been minister in Bangkok and knew how strongly the Thais wanted their 'unequal treaties' revised at that time. While the question of jurisdiction under the treaties had been largely settled, the question of Japan's tariff autonomy remained unresolved. Dr Ayako Hotta-Lister in the final paper gave an account of how the Japanese, in a mood of increased confidence after the Russo-Japanese war, ended the earlier treaties with a view to concluding the Anglo-Japanese Tariff Treaty of 1911. By this re-negotiation Japan secured tariff autonomy and improved the terms of the commercial treaty but allowed concessions to Britain who had been her ally for almost a decade. Japan's struggle for treaty and tariff.
