Until the 1850s, Japan was an isolated, feudal island country. With the restoration of an Emperor in the Meiji Period (1868-1912), dramatic changes were made in order to make it a modern nation-state that followed Western models. It opened its doors to Western trade, and freedom of religion was introduced in 1871, creating a flood of Christian missionaries. All things regarding Japanese culture became the rage.
At Mont Amoena, a Young Women’s Home and Missionary Society group formed to support the NC Lutheran Synod’s Women’s Home and Missionary Society, whose function was to raise funds for mission work, primarily for teachers to educate, spread the gospel, and grow church membership in the Far East. The photo below is of a Japanese tea party that was held at Mont Amoena, dated October 14, 1899.
