		Keene is obviously attracted by the subject of his study and often points out qualities in the man that he finds lacking in European monarchs of the same period (Meiji was more frugal and less arrogant, Keene notes, than the tsar, his enemy in the Russo-Japanese War).
		Keene, a literary scholar, is a master narrator with an eye for fascinating details, but his sprawling chronicle is weak on analysis of the historical significance of an era that he views almost exclusively from the vantage point of court politics.
		Donald Keene, the dean of Japan studies and Professor Emeritus at Columbia, attempts to paint a picture of the Emperor for whom the period is named and about whom little is known.

		Keene, a world authority on Japanese literature, is a master at giving life and substance to Japanese customs.
		Here Keene has rectified this neglect by bringing together every scrap of evidence about the life of Japan's greatest imperial ruler.
		Emperor Meiji apparently enjoyed his martial uniforms, but he was such a man of peace that he opposed declaring war on China in 1894 and took no pleasure in Japan's victory over Russia at Port Arthur in 1905.

		I did know that the Japanese love to talk about the weather, but I think Keene is off base when he says "We Westerners only mention the weather when we have nothing better to talk about." Obviously he never lived in Massachusetts.

	Donald Keene
		Donald Keene's lifetime of scholarship has so dominated the field of Japanese literature (of all periods and genres) that it has become an impossible challenge to make any kind of contribution without drawing on or referring to it.
		His scholarship has from the start been characterized by his thorough-going familiarity with European and North American literature and culture (especially the libretti of his beloved opera), as well as his encyclopedic knowledge of Japanese literature.
		Further, Donald has done all this in his characteristically unassuming way, assisting countless younger scholars along the way to positions of prominence.
