Especially interested in the Westerners who lived in Japan in the really early days after opening up to the world (i.e. pre-1870). Although I sometimes go the Yokohama General Foreign Cemetery in relation to my work, I quite enjoy poking around the graves amongst the stray cats and feral mosquitoes! My company, Bakumatsuya, buys and sells old and rare Japan-related books, photos, maps, and woodblock prints.
