	Book Review: Moser on Nish, ed. _The Iwakura Mission in America and Eu
		While it was not the first Japanese mission to the West -- there had been two others in the 1860s -- the tour of the Iwakura Mission was considerably longer, and was made by a far more distinguished group.
		Many of those who participated had played leading roles in the Meiji Restoration, and it was expected that these men -- among them Iwakura Tomomi, Okubo Toshimichi, Kido Koin, and Ito Hirobumi -- would form the backbone of the oligarchy that would dominate the new Japan.
		That the leadership in Tokyo felt it could spare such important individuals for an extended period during such a critical time in the nation's development is remarkable.

		Minakata also stated that through Sir Harry Parkes Dickins became friends with such important political figures as Saigo Takamori, Íkubo Toshimichi, Kido Koin and Goto Shojiro, but Dickins himself does not mention his acquaintance with them and in any case this may have been after his return to Japan in 1871.
