In July 1872, the Maria Luz, a barque flying the Peruvian flag, carried Chinese indentured servants from Macau to Peru. After the ship stopped for repairs in Kanagawa Bay, a number of legal issues arose that were destined to change the perception and use of the law in Japan forever. The case had a tremendous impact on the collective imagination, both Japanese and international: it is one of the first occurrences in which an Asian country decided to resist the pressure of a "Western" nation, and responded using the most refined tools of domestic and international law. Moreover, the final outcome of the case (arbitration in front of the Czar of Russia) marks the debut of Japan on the stage of international arbitration. While historians have written widely on the subject, the legal importance of this event has been relatively neglected. This book uses the case to explore the technical legal issues Japan was facing in its transition from pre-modernity to modernity. These include unequal treaties, extraterritoriality clauses, the need to establish an updated judicial system, and a delicate balance between asserting sovereignty and resorting to diplomacy in solving disputes involving foreigners. Based on original documents, this book is an invaluable resource for researchers and academics in the fields of legal history, dispute resolution, international law, Japanese history and Asian studies"-- $c Provided by publisher. 610 20 $a Maria Luz (Ship) $v Trials, litigation, etc. 651 0 $a Japan $x Foreign relations $y 1868-1912. 650 0 $a International and municipal law $z Japan $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Arbitration (International law) $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Capitulations $z Japan $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Labor laws and legislation, International $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Indentured servants $x History $x History $y 19th century. 650 7 $a Arbitration (International law) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01761738 650 7 $a Capitulations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00846513 650 7 $a Diplomatic relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01907412 650 7 $a Indentured servants $x Legal status, laws, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01425605 650 7 $a International and municipal law. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00976759 650 7 $a Labor laws and legislation, International. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00990025 651 7 $a Japan. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204082 648 7 $a 1800-1912 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 $a Trials, litigation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423712 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9781000834765 830 0 $a Routledge research in legal history 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240619011220.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4FD036E82E0111EFA856D47D28ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
