Based on bank and official archives, this book focuses on Japan''s financial activities abroad - in particular, Japan''s borrowings. This is the story of Japan''s success: a "doubtful" borrower in the 1870s, it became respected after the Russo-Japan war. This study also highlights the mechanism of loan issues on the international capital markets.
