Japanese assimilation Comic
Description
The caption to this comic should read in the first frame "Go, my son, go and study the civilization of the Occident" and "I am industriously studying the civilization of these Americans but it is very expensive. Please send me a bag of dollars" in the second frame.
Japanese often donned Western outfits to avoid ridicule and harassment from Americans at the Centennials and in general in the US. However, Americans took their change in dress as an attempt to imitate and assimilate to American culture.
