The Autobiography of Fukuzawa Yukichi
A vivid and personal portrait of one of Japan’s most influential Meiji-era thinkers. Fukuzawa recounts his childhood as a lower-class samurai, his pursuit of Western knowledge through Dutch and English studies, and his travels to the United States and Europe. He reflects on Japan’s social upheaval during the end of the Tokugawa shogunate, his role in founding Keio University, and his efforts to promote education and Western ideas in Japan. Throughout his narrative, Fukuzawa alternates between admiration for Western civilization and respect for Japan’s traditional roots, advocating a balanced path toward modernization and national independence.
