520    "Japanese-American relations have been the object of 
       considerable study from the 1850s, when Commodore Matthew 
       Perry used gunboat diplomacy to break the seclusion of an 
       island nation. Japan and American Children's Books: A 
       Journey explores this relationship from a unique 
       perspective, examining representations of Japan's history 
       and culture in American children's literature from the 
       early nineteenth century to the beginning of the twenty-
       first. Sybille A. Jagusch traces depictions of Japan from 
       their first appearances in early European children's books
       to their emergence in the pages of those published in the 
       United States. A carefully curated collection of text 
       excerpts and images reveals evolving American perceptions 
       of Japan and Japanese people over the course of more than 
       two centuries. Drawn from rare and often long-forgotten 
       children's books in the collections of the Library of 
       Congress, the early excerpts express assumptions and 
       stereotypes held by western writers and illustrators whose
       work was meant to share insight into the cultures and 
       practices of a people about whom they knew little. They 
       include passages from the illustrated journal of a boy who
       accompanied Commodore Perry on his first voyage to Japan; 
       selections from romanticized late nineteenth-century 
       travelogues-some penned by writers who had never visited 
       Japan; and excerpts from stories featured in St. Nicholas,
       the influential American children's magazine that was 
       published from the early 1870s to the 1940s. Later samples
       reveal the waxing and waning relationship between the two 
       countries amid the evolution of the children's publishing 
       genre, which met the complexities and strains of a rapidly
       changing world with increasingly sophisticated and 
       stylized accounts that laid bare the grim realities of war,
       racism, and annihilation: the bombing of Pearl Harbor, the
       nuclear holocaust of Hiroshima, and the internment of 
       Japanese Americans during World War II. The book's final 
       chapters highlight the unique contributions of Japanese 
       American authors and illustrators in recounting their 
       personal experiences and those of their families"--
