In this manga we see how he carried out his plan after leaving his home area in north west America, and the adventures he had while in captivity in Hokkaido and Nagasaki.<\/p>\n MacDonald is credited by some as being the first native speaker to officially teach English in Japan. His students, while under the care of the Governor of Nagasaki, included those Japanese who would go on to act as interpreters for the treaties with various foreign governments in the 1850s and 60s. Therefore, the renegade MacDonald played an important role in the opening up of Japan after more than 250 years of isolation.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider _builder_version=”4.19.0″

It\u2019s not primarily about samurai or a conflict or martial arts; it\u2019s about exploration, culture clash, the making of maps and how they are related to politics. It is a somewhat anthropological book in that it looks at the Ainu and Nivkh people of\u00a0<\/span>Sakhalin island. I studied sociology and anthropology in university in Scotland, so it’s good to have the chance to use some of that in my books. And its also about the animals and the landscape of the island and its surrounding waters. We have tried to make this a beautiful book by giving over quite a few pages to the fish and animals there, and to the beauty of the hills, the inlets, the beaches.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_testimonial][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ disabled_on=”off|off|off” module_class=”book-page-reviews-section” _builder_version=”4.19.0″ _module_preset=”default” da_disable_devices=”off|off|off” global_colors_info=”{}” da_is_popup=”off” da_exit_intent=”off” da_has_close=”on” da_alt_close=”off” da_dark_close=”off” da_not_modal=”on” da_is_singular=”off” da_with_loader=”off” da_has_shadow=”on”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text module_class=”book-page-reviews-text” _builder_version=”4.25.2″ _module_preset=”default” header_2_text_align=”center” header_2_font_size=”40px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_testimonial author=”Jim Mockford” disabled_on=”on|on|on” module_class=”book-page-reviews-quote” _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” disabled=”on” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n This book provides a much-needed addition to north Pacific history that heretofore is known primarily to readers of academic monographs, conference papers, and rare books on the shelves of cartographers and maritime historians. It is wonderfully illustrated as a manga to reach a wider audience that will appreciate an introduction to a rarely visited region of northeast Asia and informative on the indigenous peoples in the story. <\/span><\/p>\n This reviewer, the \u201cAmerican Visitor\u201d to the Mamiyo Rinzo birthplace museum in 2003 (see page 96) and to the explorer\u2019s monument at Cape Soya in 2012, has long wanted to visit Sakhalin Island but terminated trip planning due to pandemic and political complexities that restricted travel to this area in recent years. <\/span><\/p>\n Currently snowed in by the fireplace at home I enjoyed a vicarious expedition to the region by reading this very interesting and out of the ordinary historical manga. Mamiya’s Maps<\/em> became my guidebook to follow into a history accurately told by the author and presented with the artist\u2019s captivating illustrations of the wildlife, landscapes, and the Ainu and Nivkh peoples where our Samurai hero Mamiya Rinzo met them and mapped their homeland. <\/span><\/p>\n The reading experience and my perusal of every page was most enjoyable, and I celebrated the expedition\u2019s arrival at the Qing Chinese trading settlement of Deren on the Amur River with a cup of Chinese tea. Reflecting on the return journey and after-expedition impact of Mamiya Rinzo, the story continues to this day with the narrative and images from this manga that bring attention to indigenous people of the region and the story of intercultural contact to be shared after centuries of omission.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_testimonial][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ranald MacDonaldGeneral Information:Released 14th June, 2024.
