Justice and International Law in Meiji Japan
«
'This important volume’s legal analysis of the Maria Luz Incident at a turning point in Japan’s (legal) history offers a rare and detailed window on the legal complexities at the dawn of modernity. A unique, nuanced and sophisticated study that will greatly contribute to understanding early Meiji Japan’s struggle with the practice of modern law and international image.'
Professor Dimitri Vanoverbeke, The University of Tokyo
'A unique and fascinating book on a founding stage of the Japanese legal system, largely forgotten nowadays. Giorgio Colombo brings to life in a picturesque way the event in which the Meiji government for the first time demonstrated its choice to turn to a legal system with the most advanced human values in the world.'
