Thank you for another interesting and eye-opening article. I already knew the facts but not all the details, including Okubo Toshimichi's opinion.

I actually just came across this recently myself. I knew Okubo opposed the idea of invading Korea, but the fact that there was such division among the Genro, and that Okubo carried the day on that occasion were new to me as well. It's not Taisho, though! Need to get back to my roots!
