A New-Englander in Japan is an insightful biography of Daniel Crosby Greene, a prominent figure in the history of Christian missions in East Asia. Written by Evarts Boutell Greene, this work chronicles the life and influence of a dedicated missionary who arrived in Japan during the transformative Meiji period. Greene played a pivotal role in the establishment of educational institutions and the translation of religious texts during a time when Japan was rapidly opening its borders to Western influence.

The narrative explores Greene's commitment to social reform and his efforts to foster mutual understanding between Japanese and American cultures. Through detailed accounts of his personal experiences and leadership, the book illustrates the broader socio-political landscape of a nation undergoing modernization. A New-Englander in Japan serves as both a compelling portrait of a man driven by faith and a valuable historical document reflecting the complex cultural and religious exchanges at the turn of the century. It is a significant resource for readers interested in the history of missions, international relations, and the evolution of modern Japanese society.
