\"\" \"\"The first impression of the Japanese on Foreigner<\/span><\/em><\/h5>\n

(Transcribed by Stephanie Loy and Lavanya Attavane)<\/p>\n

“Till about twenty years ago, the Japanese government permitted no foreigner to visit the island, so the mutual intercourse with them was long time neglected and the people openly refused to have friendship of them.<\/span> This is manifest from the following fact when the American fleet, under the leadership of Commodore Perry began to come to Japan in order to make a treaty between the two counties, all the Japanese were stricken with wonder and very much frightened. They preferred to resist the landing of the Americans with the utmost force and it almost threatened to overwhelm the empire in bloody context though a certain circumstance prevented it from breaking out. These were because the Japanese at first supposed that all the American and European have artful or deceitful disposition, and they are always intending to deceive others to benefit themselves; and the Japanese also thought that all the foreigners are skillful to take the field and are extremely desirous in war, so they are constantly endeavoring<\/span> to reduce every nation under their subjection. Therefore the Japanese were afraid to become familiar with them, by thinking it wo<\/span>uld be probable to lose their independence if they allowed them to include intercourse with each other. Hence the government of Japan exclusively endeavored to defend the foreigners from entering to Japan. Such was general impression of the Japanese.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As the customs, manners, personal appearance of the foreigners are quite different from those of the Japanese and these seemed to be very peculiar to me, many of the ignorant just defiances on the f<\/span>oreigner and contempted them as the savage by saying that all the habits and daily performance resemble in some respect those of animals.”<\/span><\/p>\n
