Autorenporträt
Michael Cooper, former editor of the journal Monumenta Nipponica (1971-97), was awarded a doctorate at the University of Oxford with his thesis on João Rodrigues, a Jesuit missionary who worked in Japan and China from 1577-1633. His major works include They Came to Japan and Rodrigues the Interpreter. He has also written widely on the early Europeans in Japan. In the course of his work, he was honoured with the British MBE decoration and also the Ordem de Mérito from the Portuguese government. In 1999 he retired from Sophia University, Tokyo, and now lives in Hawaii.
