Kapitel 346: Unequal Treaty

The Tokugawa Japan surrendered to the French forces by waving the white flag that the French handed to them. Preparations for an official diplomatic meeting were swiftly arranged.

The meeting point would be the Edo Castle with Francis Bonaparte serving as the official representative of the French Empire and for Tokugawa Japan, it would be Governor Takoyashi.

July 11th, 1821.

The structures were mainly wooden, with defined beams and supports evident on the exterior. The roofs were tiled, slanting downwards, providing protection against the elements.
