In fact, unless one does say the nobles, and in centring all power in himself, He abolished the easy going old customs which the Japanese had ) lowed for a thousand years. In their place he introduced Western 4m- ] ! provements. He sent hundreds of Japan's clovercst young men to America andeo Burope to study fore! nd industries and laws and martial , &c.
