Notes:

Deals with the lessons learnt from British banks by Japanese trading companies and foreign exchange banks since the mid 19th century and how and the extent to which they competed with British banks up to 1914 - notably the Oriental Bank Corp and Hongkong & Shanghai Banking Corp. Focuses especially on the trading house of Mitsui Bussan, established 1876, and the Yokohama Specie Bank
