About this book

A Japanese Buddhist monk set out for closed Tibet in 1897 to study Tibetan Buddhism and look for Sanskrit manuscripts. Ekai Kawaguchi, a former rector of the Gohyakurakan Monastery in Tokyo, returned to Japan in 1903, and he was welcomed there as the first Japanese explorer of Tibet.

His account first ran as daily newspaper articles, then as two volumes in Japanese, and was later translated into English with help from several Japanese friends. This edition, published at Adyar, Madras, in 1909, keeps the original Japanese illustrations.
