Section VI (pp. 20-23) discusses the effects of Japan on Blunden and, especially, of Blunden on Japan: ‘No one who has been in Japan for even a short time can fail to be impressed by the personal affection and genuine respect his name inspires. It transcends trivialities and attains the dignity of a moral embassy.’
