Description:
Aimé Humbert (1819-1900), arrived in Japan in 1863, and though he stayed on for less than a year, his impressions are of great historical value, for he did so during the twilight years of the Bakufu, or bakumatsu in Japanese.
Brief description: William de Lange studied Japanese language and culture at the universities of Leiden and Waseda. He is the author and translator of a number of books on Japanese history, culture, and language.
