Restoration of My Noble Country...

Today, a strange Western man had come into my country. His name, Commodore Matthew C. Perry. I had an idea of his intentions of trade with our country, and this intrigued me quite so. This man had appeared in large ships, armed with technology that I have never seen before. His many reasons and products intrigued us, so we agreed to have trade with America. With my many advisiors, I shall here by have a goal for my darling country of Japan. My countrywill now attempt to combine their western advances with our easturn values.

My Rein Has Began...

Tokugawa has finaly given up. His noble defeat was great for my country. He fell on the battlefield as if a dyin cherry blossom on the trees within my courtyard. Now it shall be my turn to uphold the sword of power, and stand strong with great honor.

The beginning...

I was born on November 3, 1852. By this time, I knew I was destined to be a great leader. By 1867, I had become the 122nd Emperor of this great country of Japan. She has given me life, and I shall return the favor by being a great leader for her.
