Meiji at 150: Meiji Japan and Victorian Britain in dialogue
27 January 2018, London
In January 1868 the Tokugawa Shogunate, who had controlled Japan for two hundred and thirty years relinquished power to the fifteen-year-old Emperor, now known posthumously as the Emperor Meiji. On this, the occasion of the sesquicentennial of the Meiji Restoration, the Victorian Society and the Japan Society are coming together to discuss how life in both Japan and the West changed during the Emperor Meiji’s reign which coincided, almost exactly, with the second half of Queen Victoria’s reign and Edward VII’s subsequent monarchy.
We are delighted to welcome a distinguished line up of speakers to present papers as part of this one-day seminar. The day will be bookended by scene-setting talks, and will include panels each considering the subject from a different perspective.
£65 including buffet lunch and tea/coffee
