Tamamushi Sadayuu was one of the leading samurai who played an important role in the closing days of the, Tokugawa regime, in and around Sendai, Tohoku District. In 1860, he followed the Ambasssadors for the ratification of Japan-US Trade and Commerce Treaty in Washington DC. During these ten months he kept a journal which he called Journal of the ~Voyage to America, which tourned out a record of his experience around the world. The two groups from the Japanese Embassy to the United States, on the Powhatan and the Kanrinmatu, in 1860, left an enormous number of documents and journals. Most of these consist, however, of only the units of phenomena of the exotic novelty seen of heard during the journey. Tamamushi was intrincically a samurai-reportage writer, backed up by the teachings of Confucius. He clarified in his journal the development of the change in the outlook on the human behavior as his journey proceeded to the wider areas.
