Hmm. The Meiji? I'm not sure what he would say, but probably not that. The
Meiji era is named so because Meiji was the Emperor at the time that the
Hirohito's reign was called Showa) died in 1912. I doubt RK took place
during this time--this was time of modernizing. Perhaps the Tokugawa
period? That encompassed 1600 to 1868....
Actually, it takes place in the year 1878. Kenshin wandered ten years
previous,
from 1868-1878.
	Wow. Historically, though, by this time--heck, by the later years
of Tokugawa, the samurai class had become a bunch of bureaucrats, and not
the once vaunted defenders of the Land of the Rising Sun. I guess the
charas in RK must the few exceptions....
