1. For a recent general survey of British missionary work in Japan, Korea and Taiwan, see A. Hamish Ion, The Cross and the Rising Sun, Volume 2: The British Protestant Missionary Movement in Japan, Korea and Taiwan, 1865–1945 (Waterloo: Wilfrid Laurier University Press, 1993).
2. Of very considerable value in terms of British Anglican missionary activity in Tokyo during the Meiji period is Cyril Hamilton Powles, Victorian Missionaries in Meiji Japan: The Shiba Sect1873–1900 (Toronto: University of Toronto-York University Joint Centre on Modern East Asia, 1987).
3. Helpful in revealing the differences between British Anglicans and other Christian missionary groups in Japan is Cyril Hamilton Powles, ‘Foreign Missionaries and Japanese Culture in the Late Nineteenth Century: Four Patterns of Approach’, in Northeast Asia Journal of Theology (1969), pp. 14–28.
4. A short but useful overview is Helen Ballhatchet, ‘British Missionaries in Meiji Japan’, in Ian Nish (ed.), Britain & Japan: Biographical Portraits (Folkestone: Japan Library, 1994), pp. 33–44. A brief account of British missionaries in Japan up to 1883 can be found in Grace Fox, Britain and Japan 1858–1883 (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1969), pp. 502–31.
5. There are many Japanese-language general histories of Christianity in Japan, among them, although dated but still valuable, is Ebisawa Arimichi and Ouchi Saburo, Nihon Kirisutokyo shi (Tokyo: Nihon Kirisutokyodan Shuppankyoku, 1971).
