Weight: 28.8 ounces. First published in hardcover in 1969. University Press Paperback. "Shimoda Story" is a remarkable piece of scholarship based not only on Townsend Harris's and Heusken's diaries but town, temple, provincial and bakufu records. Primarily a day-by-day account of the first American legation at Shimoda, it is most of all a document of village life in pre-industrial Japan. A long but rewarding story about the bumbling incompetence of an american political appointee and the confusion sown in the japanese officials who mistake his stupidity for brilliant cunning.. Reminiscent of Lafcadio Hearn and most valuable as a record of two cultures in collision, with Statler bringing as much empathy and understanding to bear for the Japanese side as for the American.
