Bakumatsu no Spasibo

In the mid-1800s, the Tokugawa Shogunate is crumbling as foreign powers push Japan to end its isolation. When the U.S. Navy forces open trade, another threat arrives: the Diana, a formidable Russian frigate. With no way to fight such a ship, Japan turns to diplomacy. Toshiakira Kawaji, fresh from negotiating with the Americans, is tasked with striking a deal with the Russians. But their commander, Yevfimy Vasilyevich Putyatin, proves stubborn, and talks stall. Then disaster strikes-a devastating earthquake rocks Japan’s coast, harming both sides. Amid the chaos, the tragedy might just be what finally unites them.
