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.

Our download speeds are abysmal, Keiko. I could not watch all of the YT film.
The Scottish presenter is good; he's from Fife. He does some really good work for The Open University.
The fact that the revolutionary change in working culture could be located to one date really stuck with me; it is fascinating and amusing.
ZACL,
If I were in Japan, I wouldn't have watched it. It's slow there also.
Some of the information he narrates are in error, but this is the first time I see Glover's photos and learn his active life and contribution to the Meiji government. I'm glad he received a medal.
