Captain of Kanrin Maru
Kanrin Maru
February 5, 1860
Apparently today was the day the Powhatan officers will meet up with the Japanese foreign minister. My ship, the Kanrin Maru was being readied at Yokohama so I didn't get the chance to meet the Powhatan officers, whom my ship is accompanying with to San Francisco. I heard from sources that the meeting went splendid but with an occasional misunderstanding with communication. Overall, both parties probably displayed a diplomatic manner towards each other so hopefully, plans would be treated out nicely during such an important meeting. Plans such as the navigational route between the United States and Japan.
I'm actually really excited to arrive to San Francisco. Such wonders lay ahead of me just to the east of my country.
I am really excited about San Francisco too. This is a great thing for Japan.
