years abroad, will enact policies to further distance Japan from its feudal heritage, provoking a samurai rebellion, a restructuring of social institutions, and a ques- tioning of Japanese identity in the wake of Western influence. This comprehensive and often painful transformation that Iwakura Mission travelers helped orchestrate, will ultimately lead to Japan ascending the world’s stage and becoming a global powerhouse by the beginning of the twentieth century.
