Thanks for sharing such a detailed chronicle of life in Japan so long ago. Just out of curiosity, have you ever come across any photos of Thomas Stevens, the first person to ride around the world on a bicycle from 1884 to 1886? A college friend and I recreated Stevens' journey from Nagasaki to Yokohama last autumn.
