Description:

"Masao Miyoshi's masterful account is, by turns, alarming and hilarious as two cultures meet at the court of President James Buchanan. Their mutual incomprehension is, alas, still relevant as inscrutable East fails to make sense of mysterious West, and vice versa."-Gore Vidal In 1860 Japan sent 170 officials to tour the United States, the first such visit to America and the first trip anywhere abroad in 200 years.
