Count Otani Kozui’s 1900 northern cruise
In the year 1900, Otani Kozui, along with three travel companions, ventured on a one-month Arctic cruise, visiting the Norwegian fjords, the North Cape, Spitsbergen (Svalbard) and Iceland. The turn of the 20th century was a formative time for early Arctic tourism, and the aura of exploration was still a part of the northern allure. While Otani and his friends were not the first Japanese to cross the Arctic Circle, they were seen among their conte…
Japanese cuisine in Iceland
Traditionally, the global spread of Japanese cuisine has been viewed as a result of twentieth-century Japanese emigration. This view, although fitting for many countries, is not helpful for analyzing the case of Iceland with its small Japanese community.

Icelandic Lutheran Synod of America and its missionary in Japan, 1916–1941
In 1910, despite low membership and limited funds, the Icelandic Lutheran Synod of America began directly supporting mission work in Asia.

Although the synod’s Asia initiative was well known withi…
