They do look very dashing!

1896...more than 100 years ago. They look like strong, intelligent people...

Japan was sending out a lot of students to study abroad in the West (particularly in the US) in the late 19th century. It was part of the industrialization & modernization planned out by the architects of the Meiji Restoration, ensuring that their country would not end up being punked out like China was.

I guess I was surprised they couldn't be bothered to find out what his name was.

Amy Tanner had trouble establishing herself in the philosophy field and drifted toward psychology & sociology. She was able to do a lot of field research under patronage from different universities, but didn't succeed in getting a posting as a lecturer. She wrote one of the seminal books in the academic debunking of seance mediums. By the 1920s she'd drifted into the business world; she bought a cinema in Massachusetts and devoted her working life to managing it.
