I have wondered when JKA sent its Four Sons to the West in the mid 60s did they realise where they were sending them? And did they expect them to return? It must have been quite lonely for them, certainly at first.
I don't think they went unwillingly, although culture shock might have been a real thing. But, clearly, some married and settled. Others treated it rather like the Australians I mentioned. A couple of years then back to steady work as a salaryman in Japan.
