"Tokugawa might return Japan regime to the Emperor.
But diplomacy is not any changes.
Continuously we will have responsible for it.
Please dont worry."
A little while ago，Tokugawa had notified so to the British Ambassador.
Would have been true feelings.

Now，vassal of vassals are doing diplomacy. (Tokugawa's vassals)
Return Japan regime to the Emperor.
Then，Tokugawa will conduct diplomacy as a command of the Emperor.
Problem is solved by it. "
Yoshinobu also said so.
　
"Japanese regime that was returned from Tokugawa.
Delegate again in Tokugawa from the Emperor.”
Also there was this opinion strongly to aristocracy.
Would have been true feelings.
　
"Give the good appearance to the current situation.
Reduce the dissatisfaction of public opinion by that.
Does not change the facts.
Of course reform commensurate with the current situation will be required.
Opinion of the whole thing of the person who was in the midst except for a small portion.
That might have been like this.

"Reform is meaningless.
Do a revolution.
That means do not choose."
Person who argue like that strongly.
That was Iwakura Tomomi.
