A Scot, Thomas Blake Glover

Ian Ruxton who is the editor/author of Ernest Satow related books sent me the following sites in Facebook, and I thought about ZACL.  Some of you are not connected to me there, so here they are.   On my high school trip, I visited Glover House in Nagasaki, but I didn't know much about him. 


Thomas Blake Glover was a Scottish explorer and merchant in Bakumatsu and Meiji periods

I also enjoyed watching this colorful festival.  They are very creative.
