Rev. Joseph Hardy Neesima: A Maker Of New Japan is a biographical work written by Jerome Dean Davis. The book tells the inspiring story of Joseph Hardy Neesima, a Japanese man who lived during the Meiji era and played a pivotal role in shaping modern Japan. Born into a samurai family in 1843, Neesima was the first Japanese student to study in the United States. He converted to Christianity while in America and returned to Japan as a missionary. Neesima founded Doshisha University, one of the first Christian universities in Japan, and worked tirelessly to promote education and modernization in his homeland. The book details Neesima's struggles and triumphs as he navigated the complex political and social landscape of Japan during a time of great change. Davis's work is a testament to the power of one individual to make a difference in the world and a fascinating exploration of the history of Japan during the Meiji era.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
