Return of the Samurai

Article/Journalism Comments Off on Return of the Samurai

Thanks to JET alum Margie Banin (who works as an “Ex-pat Coach”) for sharing a nice NY Times article titled “Return of the Samurai” which comments on the 150th anniversary of the first Samurai delegation to visit the U.S. in 1860.

Among other interesting tidbits, there was apparently almost a scandal when several of members of the Japanese delegation were found naked together in their hotel bathtub.
