Answer
Initially, the Japanese government disapproved of Sugihara's actions as they went against established protocol and could potentially strain diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union. Sugihara's unauthorized issuance of visas to Jewish refugees was viewed as a violation of the government's policy of non-interference in the internal affairs of other countries. This disapproval set the stage for the challenges and consequences that Sugihara faced for his humanitarian efforts.
