| Summary | "The Spell of Japan" by Isabel Anderson is a travel memoir written in the early 20th century. The book explores the author's experiences and observations during her time living in Japan as the wife of the American ambassador. It delves into the rich culture, historical contexts, and intimate glimpses of the diplomatic and social life within the country, particularly highlighting the contrasts between traditional and modern Japan. The opening portion of the memoir recounts the Andersons' journey to Japan after the author’s husband received his appointment. It details their travels from Belgium through Russia and Korea, capturing the landscape and experiences along the way, such as encountering locals and enjoying the changing scenery. Arriving in Japan, Anderson reflects on the beauty of the country and introduces her feelings of homecoming, hinting at the deep emotional connection she develops with Japan throughout the narrative. This initial chapter sets the stage for a series of insights into Japanese life, customs, and the political landscape at a time of significant historical change.
