Dr Lewis Bremner, Dr Manimporok Dotulong and Professor Sho Konishi publish 'Reopening the Opening of Japan'

The project that began with the Reopening the Opening of Japan conference at the Nissan Institute in 2019 has now led to an edited volume published by Brill.

‘A pioneering critique of the historiography of “the opening.” The book is a major contribution to the field, re-thinking approaches to global as well as national history.’

— M. William Steele, Professor Emeritus, International Christian University
