Basil Hall Chamberlain was a British scholar who lived in Japan for over thirty years, beginning in 1873.
He produced a number of works about Japan, which remain some of the most oft-cited late 19th century English sources on Japan today, including his A Handbook for Travelers in Japan (1893).
Chamberlain was a grandson of Basil Hall, who published notable accounts of an 1816 visit to Okinawa and Korea.[1]
