A Fantasy of Far Japan: Or Summer Dream Dialogues is a book written by Baron Suyematsu, first published in 1905. The book is a collection of dialogues between two characters, a Japanese man and a Westerner, discussing various aspects of Japanese culture, mythology, and history. The conversations are framed as dreams or visions that the characters experience during the summer months. The book explores the fantastical and mystical elements of Japanese culture, including stories of yokai (supernatural creatures), gods and goddesses, and legendary heroes. The characters also discuss the impact of Western influence on Japan, including the introduction of Christianity and modernization efforts. Throughout the book, Suyematsu draws on his own experiences as a Japanese nobleman who had studied in England, providing a unique perspective on the intersection of Japanese and Western cultures. The book offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Japan and the ways in which it has been shaped by both internal and external forces.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
