Talk:Hayashi Gakusai

Kanagawa convention
Beasley identifies Hayashi Noboru's signature on the Japanese translation of the Dutch text of the agreement negotiated by Perry.<:ref>Beasley, William. (1955) Select Documents of Japanese Foreign Policy, 1853-1968, pp. 119-120 n2. Other sources like Cullen indicate that Hayashi Akira was the bakufu negotiator at this time.<:ref>Sewall, John. (1905). The Logbook of the Capatin's Clerk: Adventures in the China Seas, p.lxiv; Cullen, Louis. (2003). A History of Japan, 1582-1941: Internal and External Worlds, p. 178 n11.

I don't know how to explain this; and so I've posted it here until further information can be added which clarifies this small point. --Tenmei (talk) 15:37, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
