    Summary note
    "This book is a critical study of the life and works of Narushima Ryūhoku (1837-84), Confucian scholar, world traveler, pioneering journalist, and irrepressible satirist. A major figure on the nineteenth-century Japanese cultural scene, Ryūhoku wrote works that were deeply rooted in classical Sinitic literary traditions."--Provided by publisher.
