85. [Blunden]. ‘The Westernization of Japan’. Review of The Western World and Japan, by George Sansom. TLS, 27 October 1950, p. 671.

Blunden writes that no one ‘in Japan or out can be ranked with more assurance than  . . . Sansom’ (see D22) as an expert on the history of relations between Japan and the West, and offers a summary of central premises in his classic work. Contains passing reference to Harunobu (Ap).
