A history lesson

I got a history lesson late last night during a nomikai. We got into a discussion of social studies in both systems, and the senior teacher there stood up and did a very dramatic re-enactment of the arrival of Commodore Perry.

Perry! BIG Ship! Black! Many many! Bam bam! Japan... open!

It was very entertaining.

By the way, the translation of nomikai is "Drinking Meet."
