This book is an attempt to convey, for a Western audience, the nature of the office of mikado (emperor) in Japan, its history, and in particular the Meiji emperor Mutsuhito (1868-1912). Under this leadership, and through a mikadoist culture, Griffis argues, Japan became a new and modern nation. William Elliot Griffis (1843-1928) was an American orientalist, Congregational minister, lecturer, and author. Hardcover, good condition. 346 pages, octavo.
