서양을 처음 여행하고 충격받은 일본인들｜메이지유신, 이와쿠라사절단

#ThoughtsOnTheTimes #JapaneseHistory #MeijiRestoration This is Part 4 of Modern and Contemporary Japanese History, "The Iwakura Mission." From 1871 to 1873, Japan selected a total of 107 people, including 46 members, exchange students, and attendants, to visit 12 countries, including the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, and the Netherlands. The mission's purpose was to revise the unequal treaties with the West, and to investigate Western political, economic, and social systems to promote Japan's modernization and Westernization. Upon their return, they assumed key positions in the cabinet and began to fully pursue Japan's modernization. Today's video tells the story of what they witnessed in the West and how they applied those insights to Japan, achieving modernization.
