(2) 4-6 Manjiro, a young Japanese fisherman, was rescued from a desert island by an American whaler, educated in Massachusetts, and returned to his homeland just in time to ease the diplomatic passage of Commodore Perry into Japan in 1853. His story, lucidly narrated by Blumberg, is uniquely suited to depicting the closed, rigorously controlled society that was Japan 150 years ago. Bib.
