The Anglo-Japanese Gazette, 1902-1909

• Founded as a monthly review devoted to the commercial and social interests of the British Empire and Japan, this contains excellent material on trade with Japan and East Asia.
• It shows the closeness of links between Britain and Japan following the Anglo-Japanese Alliance of 1902.
• It also features articles on education, industrialisation, shipping and ship-building, iron and steel manufacturing, power plants and inter-Asian trade.
• It also provides clear evidence of the westernisation of Japan and its drive to become an economic super-power.
