Takahiro Yamamoto is a lecturer in the Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences at Singapore University of Technology and Design.
Yamamoto’s extensive work in researching and analyzing events as they unfolded in five maritime border areas during this time period is thus a boon to the field of modern Japanese history…a rich and truly comprehensive accounting of the demarcation of Japan’s borders in the late nineteenth century.…original and well-crafted. -- Robert Hellyer * Monumenta Nipponica *
