The article discusses the book "Demarcating Japan: Imperialism, Islanders, and Mobility, 1855–1884" by Takahiro Yamamoto. The book explores the process of defining Japan's borders in the late 19th century, focusing on multiple maritime regions and their connections. Yamamoto argues that Japan's border regions were shaped by complex interactions among various groups, including local residents, laborers, officials, traders, and hunters.
