In 1871, the Japanese government sent a goodwill mission to the United States of America and the European countries. This mission was led by <i>Tomomi Iwakura</i>, vice-president of minister (<i>Udaizin</i> _??__??__??_). <i>Takayoshi Kido</i>, the member of council (<i>Sangi</i> _??__??_), was appointed a vice-ambassador of the mission.<br><i>Kido</i> who belonged to the <i>Chôshû</i> faction had rivaled with <i>Toshimichi Ôkubo</i> who was the minister of finance (<i>Ôkura-kyô</i> _??__??__??_) and belonged to the <i>Satsuma</i> faction. <i>Kido</i> had opposed <i>Ôkubo's</i> policies.<br>So <i>Ôkubo</i> tried to reduce <i>Kido's</i> influence in the government. Then <i>Ôkubo</i> succeeded to isolate <i>Kido</i> from the government as a vice-ambassador of the mission.
