Plot:

The arrival of Commodore Perry on the Japanese coast has cast Japan into an anti-foreigner ferver, and restrictions grow further on the closed borders of Japan. But beneath the strong facade, the power of Japan’s rulers is crumbling and foreign influence is bleeding into Japan. Amidst this backdrop five extremely talented young men from the Choshu Han secretly make plans to flee Japan–a crime punishable by death–for England to study the latest technology and culture abroad so that they can then bring it back to Japan and ensure Japan’s future in the world.
A Mr. Weigal, Jardine Matheson’s manager in Yokohama, put the Choshu youths, disguised as English sailors, aboard a reluctant Captain J. S. Gower’s vessel at 1000 ryō each, bound for Shanghai where they were sheltered in an opium storage ship before dividing into two groups for the long voyage to London. When they reached London the Choshu students were introduced by William Matheson to Professor Alexander Williamson of University College London, where they studied from 1863.
Inoue Kaoru and Ito Hirobumi, destined to be two of the greatest Japanese statesmen of the age, worked as deckhands aboard the 1500 ton steamer Pegasus on the voyage to Europe. They also returned earlier than the other three when they realised that the Choshu clan was in danger of attack by the allied powers for trying to close the Straits of Shimonoseki to foreign shipping.
Interesting fact: It has been claimed that Yamao introduced the well known Scottish song Auld Lang Syne to Japan where it is called Hotaru no Hikari (The Light of the Fireflies) and is sung at high school graduation ceremonies.
