Russia's Japan Expedition of 1852 to 1855 is a detailed historical account of the Russian naval expedition to Japan led by Admiral Yevfimy Putyatin. The book, written by George Alexander Lensen, provides a comprehensive overview of the political, economic, and cultural factors that led to the expedition, as well as the events that unfolded during the three-year mission.Lensen's book delves into the complex relationships between Russia, Japan, and other world powers during the mid-19th century, including the impact of the Opium Wars on global trade and diplomacy. The author also explores the cultural differences between the two nations and the challenges faced by the Russian delegation in negotiating with the isolationist Japanese government.The book includes detailed descriptions of the expedition's various ports of call, including Nagasaki, Shimoda, and Hakodate, and the interactions between the Russian sailors and the Japanese people they encountered. Lensen also provides insight into the personal relationships between the expedition's leaders, including Putyatin and the Japanese shogun, Tokugawa Ieyoshi.Overall, Russia's Japan Expedition of 1852 to 1855 is a fascinating and informative account of a pivotal moment in the history of Russo-Japanese relations and the broader geopolitical landscape of the mid-19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
