The Kaigai Shinwa printed on Mino paper was written in a sensationalistic and simple style with Japanese syllabaries attached to all Chinese characters and intended as a cautionary tale advising Japan and other Asian countries of the pitfalls of foreign invaders and intervention just four years before the appearance of Perryâ€™s squadron in Tokyo Bay.
