A unique and pioneering study of the first fifteen years of the Imperial Japanese Diet, Japan's Early Parliaments, 1890-1905 is the first detailed study of the history of the Japanese Parliament, filling a major gap in Western knowledge of Japanese history and politics. It provides a thorough discussion of the origins of the Diet, still the central institution of Japanese politics, and its development during this formative and promising period. Drawn from primary sources, including the Diet records and contemporary newspaper reports, the studies in this book cover specific topics and issues debated in the Diet such as the Land tax increase, the debate on Poor Relief, and the Japanese Commercial Code of 1890. The authors also look at the structure of the Diet, the role of the separate Houses, and parliamentary procedure and style, setting their findings in the context of wider Japanese political history. The book will be a rich and comprehensive resource for students of Japanese government, politics and history. Dr.Andrew Fraser, Formerly of Australian National University, R.H.P.Mason, Australian National University, Philip Mitchell, solicitor
