In the spring of 1865, when Japan was in the grip of a major civil
war, 18 samurai and an interpreter risked their lives to embark
secretly on a voyage to the unknown lands of the barbarian west.
Their destination was Britain - at the hub of a vast empire. These
were the Satsuma students, some of them still in their teens, all
carrying orders from their domains to travel abroad. It was an
extraordinary and daring expedition. Their experience of life in
the west not only transformed their perception of the outside
world, but through their diverse activities in later life, had a
profound impact on commerce, education and culture in Meiji Japan.
First published in 1974, Inuzuka Takaaki's study is still the
classic work on the Satsuma students' revealing tale of discovery.
