'There was never anybody who had adventures as well as Miss Bird', wrote the Spectator in 1879. Isabella Bird (1831-1904), daughter of a clergyman, who did not begin to travel or write until her life was half over, visited japan in 1878.
She found 'its interest exceeded my largest expectations'. It was the time of the brilliant and dynamic Meiji Era, when the country was transformed from a traditionally feudal to an industrialised modern society. But it was the feudal, remote Japan that appealed to Isabella's unconventional and romantic temperament, and she soon left the civilised treaty ports for the real Japan of the northern hinterlands.
