I n recent years, various books have been published that provide information about some largely overlooked bridge builders between Germany and Japan. 1 Most oyatoi gaikokujin (foreign advisors) of the Meiji (1868–1912) and Taishō (1912–1926) era, as well as the vast majority of aspiring Japanese scholars who studied in Europe or America during these years, went abroad alone. 2 Many of these men found local consorts or wives. 3 Yet a growing number of German professionals going to Japan were accompanied by sophisticated wives, many of whom also played a visible role within early twentieth-century German-Japanese relations.
