¡Hayashi Nozomu
Description
[Machine Translation] In 1865, after the Anglo-Satsuma War, the Satsuma Hayato, realizing the impossibility of expelling the barbarians, decide to cross the sea. They discard their swords, cut their topknots, dress in Western clothing, and eat beef... Immersed in Western civilization, they continue to focus on their true patriotism, witnessing the development and chaos of the world and pouring everything they have experienced into the formation of modern Japan. This is a group portrait of the youth of Yoshinari Hatakeyama, the first principal of Tokyo Kaisei Gakko (the predecessor of the University of Tokyo), and Yurei Mori, the first Minister of Education, woven together in their young days.
