It was because the Japanese army was the only decent and gentlemanly army at the time of the "Boxer Rebellion."The British decided that this country was suitable for an ally.

In the morning, I watched "Toranomon News" on YouTube because Mr. Kunihiko Takeda was on the show.
During the break, Mr. Kazuhiko Inoue appeared as a commentator introducing the Chidorigafuchi neighborhood.
On March 27, I was visiting the area with my beloved airplane.
He told me about the British Embassy there, a fact that most Japanese, including myself, did not know, much less the rest of the world.

Today, I made a major blunder for the first time since I started watching Major League Baseball.
I just remembered that the Dodgers vs. Cardinals season opener was being played today at Dodger Stadium.
When I woke up earlier than planned and opened my computer, I learned about it from MS News.
I was barely able to watch from the end of the game.
Why did this happen?

As you know, I subscribe to Weekly Shincho every week just to read Masayuki Takayama's article in the latter part of the magazine, which was released yesterday.
In this week's issue, I read only his column.
His article in this week's issue was also outstanding.
He has written a brilliant article on an astonishing fact that most Japanese people, including myself, much less the rest of the world, are entirely unaware of.
Translating his paper into English and making it known to the world is an important mission for the rest of my life.
Readers know I have been doing so without interruption every week if you include his writings, etc.
Now, his paper yesterday took a long time to translate into English.
After all, it was a parade of Chinese names I had never seen before, so it took time to search and check.
I could not confirm the English translation of "Beicheng," which was the name of Beijing at that time.
I had no choice but to adopt the translation software as it was.
By the time I finished, we were well over the scheduled time.

One of his outstanding papers yesterday was the history of "Boxer Rebellion."
He also mentioned that only the Japanese army had appropriately behaved.

Mr. Kazuhiko Inoue said.
Why did the British Empire at that time conclude the Anglo-Japanese Alliance?
It was because the Japanese army was the only decent and gentlemanly army at the time of the "Boxer Rebellion."
The British decided that this country was suitable for an ally.
It was also an essential page for Japan.
The British Embassy faces the Imperial Palace.
The address of the British Embassy is 1 Ichibancho, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo.

The UK was the most important country for Japan.
