    Nobunaga’s Ambition Realized: Dawn of a New Rising Sun

    This is big if true; thanks to being a fixture of Japanese ambassadors, this is bound to become an actual standard and protocol on par with formal dinners and dances. Not only that they will scour the world to better procure for tea leaves (and tea sets, too!), they will also try to emulate the...

    Speaking of the tea ceremony - have the Japanese diplomats and other notables performed it before European audiences, or have they kept it to themselves?

    in terms of confessional issues, probably; they certainly are not as perfidious as the actual Albion, however at least not yet

    Remember that the Republic of Ireland is still a prideful nation today (and one that had been strongly Catholic up until recently) in spite of mostly speaking the English language. And oh — the baranggay clientage system of the local plutocrats is totally upended in favour of Japanese...

    far from it; all of those are formal provinces, after all Luzon province is positively Northern Irish in character, however.

    Japanese China and the "imperial" titles

    It had been more of a legalese than a slogan when Kitabatake Chikafusa penned it, really.

    Now, I am interested with the correspondences between the Japanese ambassadors and the nobility of Europe.

    On the other hand, the Europeans may be more open to syncretism which can enable a greater introgression of Eastern literature and ideas into Europe, not just limited to Japanese texts but even to the Chinese ones. Imagine the Romance of the Three Kingdoms translated into French or Dutch and...

    I thought the Luzon province has its border between Pangasinan and Tarlac.

    There must at least be some casual musicians among the European traders and sailors that could have transmitted their skills among the Japanese, no matter how rudimentary those can be.

    Have any Japanese musicians gone to Europe and vice versa?

    here's hoping that they can get far — into North America if possible — with this convergence of north-oriented expansion policy and rural emigration

    Well, it is Iriebashi, after all. And now, you've left me to wonder what place is going to be the Florida of Japan — or perhaps — Iriebashi, since I think we can all agree that Luzon province is going to be the most dysfunctional of the lot.

    still doesn't discount the fact that Japan's is still absolutely huge compared to the period's Ayutthaya whether it be OTL and TTL, or the sixteenth and the seventeenth century and so justifies the disproportionate focus on Japan compared to Indochina: the former country invented pop culture...

    Tbf however — even if they'll be a rounding error as low tens or hundreds compared to the sizes of the armies — cases of wartime crossdressers do exist, and they can even play surprisingly pivotal roles in the units that they are in. There are also several more that lost to history but...
