Purchase options and add-ons

The book reveals how a man on the way to being a misfit in the United States became the heroic American samurai." It discusses Janes as one of the few Westerners allowed to live in the interior and as the "father" of the Kumamoto Band, which became the dominant wing of Japanese Protestantism and a significant modernizing force.

Originally published in 1985.

The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions.

5.0 out of 5 stars well written; well documented
Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2015

Notehelfer writes competently and authoritatively about one of the great modern western educators of Japanese young men when Japanese political and social leaders were opening up to reform. L.L. James was a maverick leader who opened the minds of his students and challenged them to excel academically. He also led them spiritually. Many of them later became leaders in various fields and foinders of institutions that exist in Japan today.
