    Recommended Posts

    Dear Gentlemen,

     

    Not a very well known man outside Kagoshima but quite a character:

     

    Godai Tomoatsu (五代 友厚, February 12, 1836 – September 25, 1885) was one of the Satsuma students of 1865 who were smuggled out of Bakumatsu period Japan to study in Great Britain. He returned to become Japan's leading entrepreneur of the early Meiji period.

    The Japanese link has more information: 五代友厚 - Wikipedia . You can use this Google Translate Web - iTools , it's worth it.

    Yours sincerely,
