The Benjamin Franklin of Japan, Yukichi Fukuzawa (1835 – 1901), is beloved as one of its founders of the modern era. 
Fukuzawa appears on the current 10,000 yen banknote and interestingly Franklin appears on the similarly-valued $100 bill.
I have just learned from my Japanese friend in Argentina that Fukuzawa is still alive and now is a Chinese doctor who sells “Te Chino Del Dr Ming” (meaning a Chinese tea of Dr. Ming) herbal weight reduction tea, which is recent fad in South America. That’s sort of like ”Benhamin” Franklin selling Mexican condoms (see below).
”Benhamin” Franklin selling Mexican condoms, which..
…actually makes sense since Franklin was a practical, scientific man.
My friend and I were arguing about whether this tea had just used the image directly off Japanese money! Now I know that I was correct. lol! Thanks for making me the wiener!

Love is the ability&willingness to allow those that you care for to be what they choose for themselves without any insistence that they satisfy you.
Be wary. Cryptozoology in China is a racket divided between the CCP and the Chinese Herb Mafia. The CCP and CHM discovered that you can actually make man-plant chimeras but they don’t do well in the lab and have to be released into the wild to thrive. These cryptozoological articles are a psyops cover to obfuscate the freaky half-animal half-plant beings that are the source of more than 17 billion dollars of trade (not counting illicit) in “herbs.” There hasn’t been actual wild plant ginseng in over 16 years; it is actually the femur of a half-plant half-animal horror.
Well I’m gonna get my friends from the Japanese yakuza to find the wise ass who put Mr. Fukuzawa’s face on that tea and jump their stupid ass!
Tee hee hee, be tea …
