Isabella Lucy Bird, a British traveler, visited Japan during the Meiji period. She landed in Yokohama and traveled around Tohoku and Hokkaido for three months, starting from Tokyo. The record of her experience was published in 1880 as "Unbeaten Tracks in Japan" and many translations have been published. I will introduce the state of Japan at that time from her perspective, as well as the world situation and history at that time. What do you think about this topic?
