Is he going to be Barryar's Mutsuhito (who got to known after the Meiji
period he reigned over) or its Alexander II of Russia, who had great
intentions [1] and whose example was so glorious that the next two Czars
embraced extremely reactionary policies whose net effect was to destroy
their dynasty?
Mind you, Mutshutio's heir's reign had periods that developed not
necessarily to Japan's advantage, so even a successful emperor may have a
mixed legacy.
1: Except for the Poles and Lithuanians. I guess Komarr could stand in for
Poland.
