Talk:Hayashi Akira

Plausible relevance here?
Sir George Sansom in The Western World and Japan (New York 1949) says: Perhaps this could be incorporated in context of Hayashi's "Survey of Intercourse" (Tsūkō ichiran), a compilation of diplomatic precedents developed during the years of the Tokugawa shogunate?<.ref>Cullen, L.M.

 * "The outbreak of the Anglo-Chinese war of 1840 had made a deep impression throughout the Far East, but particularly in Japan. The naval strength that had enabled an English squadron to destroy Chinese warships without loss to itself came as a great surprise to most Japanese. Extraordinary rumors were circulated, and repeated by serious scholars, such as a report that the English navy was composed of 25,860 vessels. A scholar named Mineta published a book called Kaigai Shinwa, or New Tales from Overseas. This work contains an illustration depicting the English fleet assembled below London Bridge for the expedition to China. There is a great forest of masts extending to the horizon, and immense crowds throng the embankment. It is interesting to reflect that at this time probably not one Englishman in a thousand knew or cared about the China war, and in general the Japanese seem to have had very mistaken notions as to the British attitude towards Japan."
