"During the Meiji period (1868-1912) the Japanese laid the foundations for what is now the most advanced nation in Asia. Like Victorian Britain, which served as a potent model, Meiji Japan was characterized by faith in progress, civiliization and the growth of empire. The architecture and feats of engineering described and illustrated in Meiji Revisited stand as monuments to the dynamism and ambitions of the age, and to Japan's transformation from an isolated feudal society into a modern and remarkably cosmopolitan nation-state..." -Front Flap.
