If I learned anything from reading James Clavell, the Jappos really fucking hate gai-jin like me and would be extremely resistant to my being there unless it was efficient

actually the man wo inspired the 2003 movie "The Last Samurai' was a french officier , Captain Jules Brunet , who helped Japan to modernize and who fought until the end, in the ruins of Hakodate, with the elite troops (Shinsegumi) of the military government (bakufu)

He also defected to form the Republic of Ezo, but every other foreign advisor wanted them to be an empire not a republic.
