S01E08 - Yame to Nagasaki

Michael Portillo visits a Kyushu tea farm where morning fog shades the tea plants. He then takes one of the newest Shinkansen lines to Nagasaki, the only port open to foreign trade when Japan was closed to the outside world for more than 200 years. Michael learns of the Scottish industrialist Thomas Glover, who helped samurai clans overthrow the shogun and played a pivotal role in Japan's industrialisation.
