Even under sakoku (policy of national self-isolation), Japan observed the outside world. The result of the Meiji Restoration in 1868 was to create or reinforce close engagement with the world by writers, artists, officials and diplomats alike. While the first foreign language of most Japanese was to be English, some were more conversant with French or Italian (and in many cases, as late as the 1930s, with German). There has also been a handful variously able to read, write or speak a minoritised language like Irish; or an immensely challenging language like Finnish.
Sekai rekishi taikei Airurando [Compendium of world history: Ireland]. Edited by Ueno Itaru, Mori Arisa and Katsuta Shunsuke. Pp 419 + 67. Tokyo: Yamakawa Shuppansha. 2018. In Japanese, surname precedes given name. However, in texts likely to be used by others as well as Japanese readers, there is often an inconsistent citation of given name first. In this text, surname in all cases appears first.
