論文の詳細を見る
Japanese students who went to study in England in the early Meiji era(1870s-80s) often stayed in the homes of their English tutors. Yotaro Iga(1851-97), a son of a senior councilor(Karo) of the Tosa domain in Sukurno in present-day Kochi prefecture, stayed with his tutor, J. Panton Ham(1819-1902). Rev.J.P.Ham and his family sent many English letters to Iga when he traveled around England, visiting Brighton, the Isle of Wight, Folkestone, Guernsey, and Hastings on vacation, and later traveled in Europe, visiting Dieppe and Bourgogne, France in order to study French and others. The many letters from members of the Ham family to Iga and other students portray details of the Japanese students' lives in London and other places in England and France, and their friendly relations with the people they came to know.
