Weight: 28.8 ounces. First published in hardcover in 1969. University Press Paperback. "Shimoda Story" is a remarkable piece of scholarship based not only on Townsend Harris's and Heusken's diaries but town, temple, provincial and bakufu records. Primarily a day-by-day account of the first American legation at Shimoda, it is most of all a document of village life in pre-industrial Japan. A long but rewarding story about the bumbling incompetence of an american political appointee and the confusion sown in the japanese officials who mistake his stupidity for brilliant cunning. Reminiscent of Lafcadio Hearn and most valuable as a record of two cultures in collision, with Statler bringing as much empathy and understanding to bear for the Japanese side as for the American. First Edition Thus (1986); so stated. First published in hardcover in 1969.

"Shimoda Story is much more than a chronicle of negotiations [between the U.S. and Japan]. It is both a political and a social history of Japan in the 1850s. It gives a warm and intimate picture of Shimoda, a town of spirited inhabitants -- merchants and innkeepers, fishermen and farmers, girls who enticed and entertained the crews of coastal vessels; a town which was, for a few exciting months, the setting for the drama of Japan's reentry into the world after more than two centuries of seclusion."
