That reads as a foreigner suggesting to abandon many thousands years long history and culture just because the characters are too difficult for him. It doesn't even make sense because today we have computers and ML. If you want to write something, you just type the spelling, and the program automatically converts it into proper characters. And if you don't understand the character, AI can translate it for you. I am sure this can be integrated into electronic glasses. |

J. Marshall Unger's Literacy and Script Reform in Occupation Japan is a good treatise on the subject.
EDIT: Also, this was published in 1877 if I did my date conversions right: https://archive.wul.waseda.ac.jp/kosho/bunko17/bunko17_d0035...
