The Englishman who came to Japan for the first time was William Adams called Anjin Miura. His achievement was to have solidified the foundation to open trade between Japan and U.K. But the bonds between Japan and U.K. had been broken for about 200 years by the national isolation policy of the Tokugawa government, and the point of contact between Japan and foreign countries was only at Dejima in Nagasaki. At the last days of the Tokugawa government, the storm of the exclusion of foreigners raged, and the opposition between Japan and foreign countries, U.K., France, and Russia deepened. As the power of the Tokugawa government weakened gradually, and many informations from abroad penetrated through Japan, the opening of Japanese country became inevitable. The two great feudal clans, Choshu and Satsuma showed a strong tendency to overthrow the Shogunate, while some Samurais of the two clans went to U.K. secretly to study there. After the Meiji Restoration, the government sent a great mission called"Iwakura Mission"to 14 countries to learn various things for one year and ten months. A lot of foreigners especially Englishmen were hired in various fields. Japan narrowly won the Sino-Japanese War and the Russo-Japanese War, and then the Anglo-Japanese Treaty fairly contributed to Japan's victory. Soseki Natsume studying in U.K. showed his distress different from the Samurais at the last days of the Tokugawa government and after the Meiji Restoration. The U.K. fever of recently seems to have been caused somewhat by commercial journalism. We should have a right view of the United Kingdom.}, pages = {105--132}, title = {日英関係史}, year = {2004} }
