>I wonder what these Japanese diplomats were thinking as they sat, so far from home, having their portraits taken with cutting-edge gadgets by this bohemian weirdo.
If only there was a detailed first-hand account of the diplomatic mission to Europe which details this exact trip that's been widely translated to most European languages and is widely available.
Not sure if this is sarcasm. I have no idea if this exists or not.
If it does exist, I would like to read it.

There's actually a youtube channel that has a bunch of excerpts from various trips to the west (and other cross cultural journeys), if you're interested in that sort of thing.
