Fu k uz a wa Yukichi traveled to the United States and Europe, then returned to Japan with new ideas.
Fu k u z a wa Yukichi was a Japanese educator, translator, author, entrepreneur among others. He was a highly influential individual who wanted and tried whatever he could to introduce western culture to Japan.
- Yukichi would learn Dutch so that he will be able to learn more about western welfare.
- Moreover, Duthcwas the only 'foreign' nation the country had access to at that moment.
- Later on, during the 1860s, he would travel to the United States and then move on to European nations.
- These travels resulted in his "Seiyō jijō (Conditions in the West)", a book that describes not only the cultural or economic, but also the political issues of the west.
- His desire to introduce as much Western knowledge as possible would often lead to an attempt at his life.
- But after the Meiji Restoration, the Japanese government began to actively accept and even seek foreign knowledge, which had been what Yukichi had so desired.
In short, Fu k u za wa Yukichi's work in trying to get Japan to accept and embrace western knowledge was a long and at times dangerous process. But it nevertheless resulted in an acceptance of Western knowledge later on.
