Peter Kornicki retired as Professor of Japanese at the University of Cambridge in 2014. He had been teaching at Cambridge since 1985 and he served for eight years as the Deputy Warden of Robinson College. He was also president of the European Association for Japanese Studies in 1997-2000. He is the author of numerous books and articles, most recently Languages, Scripts, and Chinese Texts in East Asia (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2018). Antony Best is an Associate Professor in International History at the London School of Economics. His most recent single-authored book is British Intelligence and the Japanese Challenge in Asia, 1914-1941 (Basingstoke: Palgrave 2002), and he is one of the co-authors of International History of the Twentieth Century and Beyond, 3rd edition (London: Routledge, 2015). Hugh Cortazzi was British ambassador to Japan between 1980 and 1984 and chairman of the Japan Society between 1985 and 1995.
