To call a man a monkey in his native country, how audacious. Have you considered that the fact that Commodore Matthew Perry essentially put a literal cannon against Japan's metaphorical head to force them to trade with the outside world? That the rapid introduction of Western ideologies and technologies would inevitably clash with their traditions and culture, creating a schism among their own people? Simply put, yes, the West was the cause of the civil dispute in Japan during the Meiji era.

Don't her actions in this chapter directly contradict the translator's note from chapter 2? Somehow doubt that the woman who wrote "unless one can live on rice , tea , and eggs , with the addition now and then of some tasteless fresh vegetables , food must be taken [on my journey], as the fish and vegetable abominations known as "Japanese food" can only be swallowed and digested by a few, and that after long practice", would refuse some anglo food like that.

@smartz118 pretty sure there are tourist like that to this day lmfao
