Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Book of the Opening of the Rice Institute, Vol. 3 of 3: Being an Account of an Academic Festival Held in Celebration of the Formal Opening of the Rice Institute, an University of Liberal and Technical Learning Founded in the City of Houston, Texas
The above brief outline is necessary for a clear under standing of the environment in which the first introduction of Western learning took place. The Portuguese were wel comed by the military chiefs principally for the sake of fire arms, which were first introduced by them, and which of course gave to those possessed of them an immense advan tage over their enemies. Their use and making were eagerly acquired, and already in 1553 the shogun Yoshiteru had guns made for him at Anato, in the province of Omi, not far from Kyoto. The introduction of firearms necessarily brought about a change in tactics and fortification, but it is uncertain how much the military chiefs learned in these things from the Portuguese.
