Very much, the Meiji Restoration opened the door to Japan. For a time, Japan's thinking was completely westernized, abandoning local culture (refer to the samurai at the end of the film and the tuxedo of the Japanese parliament). At that time, a large number of Christian cultures flooded into Japan. After rapidly following the industrial progress in Europe and America, Japan has restored its traditional culture and formed a social form of combining East and West in Japan, which has led to the popularity of Christian churches in Japanese cities.
