Additional Reading
The three biographies of Yamagata, in Japanese—by Fujimura Michio (1961), by Oka Yoshitake (1958), and by Tokutomi Iichiro (1933, reprinted 1969)—are all excellent. A publication in English, Roger F. Hackett, Yamagata Aritomo in the Rise of Modern Japan, 1838–1922 (1971), gives a full account of his life.
