This collection explores the Australian Embassy in Tokyo as a place where diplomatic, cultural and personal relationships developed after the Second World War. Historians and former diplomats trace the work of ambassadors, the contributions of locally engaged staff, and the changing priorities of Australia–Japan relations.
Chapters range from early postwar diplomacy and John Crawford’s economic connections to education, cultural exchanges and embassy architecture. An account of the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami examines the embassy’s response to a major emergency. Photographs, architectural plans, a diplomatic chronology and an index connect the institutional history with the people and buildings involved.
