In 1886, Grigory Aleksandrovich De Vollan (39-1847), a 1916-year-old employee of the Asian Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, arrived in Japan on a diplomatic mission. It was an amazing time. Japan was going through the most dramatic period of its thousand-year history, which is called the Meiji Restoration or even the Meiji Revolution. In his book about Japan, addressed primarily to the Russian reader, De Vollan spoke about the culture and customs, myths and legends of Japan, about the natural beauties of the island country, about the masterpieces of Japanese art, about the socio-economic situation, the mood of young people in Russia's neighboring state and much more. The book also includes an appendix, which contains the most interesting chapters from the most fascinating memoirs of G. A. De Vollan about the turbulent processes of political life in Russia and the country's participation in European conflicts - after all, the author was not only a witness, but also an active participant in those events. The book is beautifully illustrated with rare artistic, photographic and documentary materials that will make acquaintance with the notes of the Russian diplomat especially vivid. The book "In the Land of the Rising Sun. Notes of the Russian Consul on Japan" will be of interest to anyone interested in the history of Russia, ethnography, the history of Japan, the history of Russia's international relations.
