He shared this honour with Basil Hall Chamberlain (1850-1935) and the two addressees of the letters reproduced here by permission of the U.K. National Archives: co-worker William George Aston (1841-1911) and Frederick Victor Dickins (1838-1915). This book is part of a series in which Ian Ruxton is making some of the extensive Satow Papers publicly available for the first time. It includes an introduction by Professor Peter Kornicki of the East Asia Institute at the University of Cambridge, eight black & white illustrations, 166 annotations, two appendices, a select bibliography and a full index for ease of reference.

I have lived in Japan continuously since April 1, 1988 and continue to enjoy the life and culture. I am also a member of the European Association for Japanese Studies (EAJS) and some of my books are advertised on their website.
My books shown here are broadly in two categories: 1) Transcriptions of the papers (diaries and letters) of Sir Ernest Satow (1843-1929), a notable British scholar-diplomat who served mainly in East Asia (Japan, Siam and China) in Victorian and early Edwardian times. He served in Japan for about 25 years in total. Sir Ernest Satow's Private Letters to W.G. Aston and F.V. Dickins Satow's Semi-Official Letters from Japan and China Satow's Japan Correspondence Satow Peking Diaries - Volume One Satow Peking Diaries - Volume Two (2) Translations from Japanese to English - two so far, with one more in progress which will be titled Baron Kaneko and the Russo-Japanese War (1904-05): A Study in the Public Diplomacy of Japan, authored by Professor Masayoshi Matsumura.
