| Research Abstract |
This study aims to clarify the diplomatic relations between Japan and Britain in the end of the Edo period. Using both British and Japanese documents, it is approached from various points of view. In Japan, the hostilities between the Tokugawa shogunate and several feudal lords like the Choshu clan came out into the open in the 1860s. According to one popular theory, it has been thought that the French supported the Tokugawa shogunate while the Britain supported the Choshu clan. However, some diplomatic dispatches say that the British government would take a stance of the neutrality in their hostilities, and the British consul general to Japan reported to British Government that recommended a policy of accommodation to both the Tokugawa shogunate and the Choshu clan. Meanwhile there are some articles in the British newspapers which gave a priority to their trade profit, and the British consul general to Japan tried to trade with feudal lords directly.
