It likely appeals to readers interested in understanding Japan's unique characteristics and its development during a time of significant change and interaction with Western nations. The opening of the book presents a detailed geographical overview of Japan, describing its islands, mountainous terrain, and the impact of natural phenomena like earthquakes and volcanoes on its landscape. Peery expresses admiration for Japan's physical beauty while laying out its significant demographic and climatic traits, all of which shape the daily lives of its inhabitants.
