This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

People like it when anyone engages with their history/culture earnestly.

I think in this case you also have the weird juxtaposition of an American in the story of Japan moving to a western style system and leaving behind their isolationist policies.
