Arriving in Japan amid the turmoil preceding the Meiji Restoration,
Parkes attempted to defend British interest and influence
development of Japan's rapidly changing society. He ruled the
British legation with a commitment to work and the construction of
a civilian Japan which aroused profound admiration and irritation
among both Westerners and Japanese. But as the Meiji Government
gained in self-confidence, it was increasingly alienated by Parkes'
defence of the unequal treaties. In contrast, British merchants
admired his often tactless resistance to Japanese aspirations.
