Unbeaten Tracks in Japan

Blurb

Unbeaten Tracks in Japan is a travel diary written by Isabella Bird of her trip to Japan in 1878. It was first published in English in 1881 by G. P. Putnam's Sons. It was later translated into Japanese by Tsurukichi Itō.
It chronicles the trip in 1878 from about June until September from Tokyo to Hokkaido, and recorded such things as Japanese houses, clothing, the sex industry, and the natural environment in great detail, as they were during the early years of the Meiji restoration. It also has many descriptions of the Ainu people.
The first edition was released in 1881 in two volumes and afterwards an edited version with a less detailed account of the Kansai area was released in 1885.
