The rumor without evidence and grounds is included, too.

Thank you for your understanding!

Very wise Nobunaga




Nobunaga receives the explanation of the terrestrial globe from a propagator and is said to have been convinced, "It's logical" immediately.

It means that the first Japanese who understood that the earth is round was Nobunaga.



Nobunaga let people observe the inside of a castle of the Azuchi, but Nobunaga gave news beforehand to bring 100 sentences as visit charges per person.

It is said that Nobunaga oneself stands at the entrance and collected visit charges on that day.

As a visit to paid facilities, It's said to be the first example in the world.

In addition, at the time of Urabon-e of a certain age, it is said that Nobunaga let Azuchi cathle rise with innumerable lanterns in a dark night.

As for the light up of the building, this may be the first thing.



Nobunaga first met the missionary Luis Frois came from Portugal , it was on the bridge of the construction site that is making the Nijo Castle.

Nobunaga asked a stranger of this distant place a question then.

"How many is the age for you?"
"When did you come to Japan?"
" How far is Japan from Portugal?"

and

"Do your parents will not not be wanted to meet you in Portugal?"

In other words, he asked it.

"do the parents not worry?".

Nobunaga had one side to be anxious about the blood relationship of the partner while he did a question to satisfy curiosity.

Shinsaku Takasugi Anecdote

It is one opinion to pick up on this page.
The rumor without evidence and grounds is included, too.
Thank you for your understanding!

Although the fact which remains in the historical fact is also important, since there are many other very interesting anecdotes.

I would like to introduce.

It is Shinsaku Takasugi who introduced me before, but at first he is very superior in decision and acting power, and I long for daring way of life.



As an example, oneself has purchased a warship concerning the deferred payment of the feudal clan without permission though he did not have money at all.

When large amount of request without the memorizing came in the body, the Choshu feudal clan seemed to be surprised very much.

I introduce an anecdote of such Shinsaku Takasugi.



Takasugi mastered study widely in famous Matsushita private school in a village, and it was counted as a promising talented person in the future by one of "four Matsushita private school in a village Four Devas".

The teacher of Shinsaku is the name called Shouin Yoshida.
He was an owner of thought daring again.

There was the interchange with the foreign country no from then Japan and closed the country.
Japan grew tense since a black ship visited a shore in Japan from the United States in such a case.

Takasugi who "was future rose color" has made a British Embassy destroying by setting a fire with Shunsuke Ito and others for Genzui Kusaka and the younger brother of the king Four Devas.

Shunsuke Ito

Genzui Kusaka

Ito is Takasugi's childhood friend,When Takasugi did reckless thing, he was involved often.


the Choshu feudal clan is dumbfounded by this unheard-of action of Takasugi and others.



However, the very person did not care it at all and preached need to repel a foreign country.
The clan "Wait Shinsaku ! It is not time now. Be quiet" Clan calmed them.



Then Takasugi.



When "I understood it then needed time for ten years ,"

Takasugi started a leave application in the feudal clan and shaved a hair without permission, and he has been to a Buddhist priest from a samurai.


He changed his job without permission in those days though it was feudal society.


It was Choshu feudal clan, but gave decision to repel a foreign country.
I shot a cannon towards a foreign ship via Yamaguchi, Shimonoseki Channel.


Then


The energetic battery was only 4th, and the terrible counterattack was occupied by the United States and France.



Yes, it is.



An overwhelming military power difference fitted the foreign country.



The Choshu feudal clan notices it only after they go to war.
They call that man who the at a loss Choshu feudal clan leaves this world, and does a mountain forest together.

It is Shinsaku Takasugi !

Takasugi who came back for the crisis of the feudal clan in the center.
He offered the unique plan that none of this time thought about to a feudal lord.


"I gather the people of the volunteer and found a covey and name Kiheitai".


In other words I commandeer it regardless of social position if there is will.
Even if it is a farmer not a samurai.


The plan that Takasugi reported to in the times when a strict social position system was still left in Japan was too innovative.
He leads a unit as the first governor-general in spite of being 23 years old.


It's a by-talk, but it's said that the sumo wrestler was in Kihei-tai, too.

I thought whether Shinsaku Takasugi calmed down a little, but was put in the prison on the charge of a de-feudal clan eight months later.

The crime of the de-feudal clan had the capital punishment very heavily in those days, too.

These five times of people do a de-feudal clan. (there is the opinion six times, too)



By the way, the recent Choshu feudal clan falls into a worse situation.



The Choshu feudal clan where a manner was insolent was ousted from Kyoto in the coup d'etat of Aizu feudal clan and the Satsuma feudal clan in the Imperial Court.

It was raided by the Class newly-compiled book, and king Matsushita private school in a village Four Devas, Toshimaro Yoshida died by Ikedaya case.

Because they were too annoyed, it surged against the Imperial Palace of the appearance taboo and carried out a protest demonstration, but was defeated again.

Most of influential people including the Kusaka and Irie of the Four Devas died.

And it is closed in for an attack upon the Shogunate forces of 150,000 (the first Choshu conquest).

Furthermore, It reach a crisis of the feudal clan extinction that it is closed in for an attack upon the foreign combined fleet.


Choshu feudal clan
VS
All over Japan, the United States U.K. France Netherlands



Choshu clan fell into the situation of absolute sacrificed.

Besides, after, in the Choshu feudal clan to meet, most of the influential people did die.

The Choshu feudal clan which became helpless entrusts a certain man confined as the last wish with all.

It is Shinsaku Takasugi ! !

The king last Four Devas of Matsushita private school in a village cleared up by 4-month confinement stands up again to save a feudal clan just before the extinction.

Shinsaku Takasugi, this time 24 years old.


Takasugi is left full power to as a peace mission with the combined fleet in four countries.
He took Shunsuke Ito for the younger brother.

Ito has studying abroad experience and attends it as an interpreter.



The foreign countries scheme a vast indemnification and some loans of the territory of Japan and wait for Takasugi.

The appearance of Takasugi who appeared in the place of the negotiations as a messenger of the surrender in the majestic state called He formal headwear for court nobles court dress.


As for the representative from each country to see a dignified state of Shinsaku, as for this "man, is there mind to really surrender to?

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　We are turbulent with ".

It was not only an appearance to have been a common sense buster, and the art of negotiations was unprecedented.
Hikojima lease of Yamaguchi that was the main subject was required, and Takasugi began the lecture of the description of folk history without a sign.


When mind had been out of order as for this to Takasugi who memorized a description of folk history endlessly at a place of peace with the combined fleet,
Shunsuke Ito for the younger brother was at a loss for words.



In fact, when this was a strategy of the Takasugi style, and it was a story that we did not evacuate the land, but it could meander, and Japan might be planning to say the lecture of the description of folk history that he could not translate to the other countries since creation to leave negotiations in itself unsettled.

According to Ito, Takasugi accepted the conditions, but only the matter of Hikojima never accepted it.



Interpreter Ernest Satow of the combined fleet side looks back on a state of such Takasugi in this way later.




"He lost, but Shinsaku was angry arrogantly, 　　and they seemed to be the Satan."




By the way, the talks with the combined fleet were finished.


The next is a problem with the Shogunate.

It is the Shogunate which withdrew, but does not know when it closes in for an attack again.

The school which was going to do allegiance in the Shogunate ruled the Choshu feudal clan inside.

Anyway, in this feudal clan, an opinion of a feudal clan changed.

Life was aimed at, and even Takasugi who was a central figure of peace with the combined fleet hid itself outside a feudal clan.

There was the person who was going to be opposed to the Shogunate in the feudal clan, but was purged before taking action.

2,000 people and the Shogunate forces were 150,000 people the soldier whom an allegiance group held to change the situation.


However, a certain man stands up all alone.

It is Shinsaku Takasugi ! ! !

He comes back in three times, feudal clan.

Takasugi gathered brave men, and he decided a time limit, and one waited at the place of the promise.

However, there is not the king such Matsushita private school in a village Four Devas who sometimes stood up together anymore.

Kiheitai left the hand of Takasugi, too.



It was thought whether nobody came, but There was a person in response to this appeal.



It is Shunsuke Ito for the younger brother who has been always swung around by Takasugi.


The number of people that gathered elsewhere was approximately 80 people in all.

80 VS 2,000.

It does not change at all to be the hopeless situation, but, ahead of a fight, it is said that Shinsaku Takasugi swore in this way.

"to show the skill of the Choshu boy than this!!"

In Kouzanji-temple where Takasugi raised an army, a manly figure at that time becomes the bronze statue and exists.


This reckless coup d'etat succeeded, and Takasugi unified Choshu feudal clans on an inverse curtain.



They gain wonderful victory while making full use of the unprecedented tactics by the all-out war with the Shogunate forces,

They can it be a fallen to the ground the Tokugawa shogunate of authority that lasted more than 250 years , was forced open the door of a stretch to Japan modernization.


But, while the new times called Meiji come over immediately to there,Takasugi left a front by illness by this fight last.


He left the world at 27 years old without participating in Boshin War.



It is the phrase of a too famous death poem of Shinsaku Takasugi.





“To make interesting an otherwise boring world.”

To this, had a nursing of Takasugi, was added Nomura Motoni And

“and lets you live accordingly is nothing but your own mind.”

Meaning

It is that to live in the world, the first place does not “interesting”.
But, even in the “interesting” does not the world,
In my mind soon, we are able to go live “interesting”.





I introduce an interesting episode in the late Meiji period of Takasugi.

Heiin-maru of the warship which I purchased without permission though Shinsaku Takasugi did not have one sentence either.

After the purchase, how was this ship really used?

It is this ship that Shinsaku Takasugi led as Governor-General of navy and, at the time of the second Choshu conquest, beats the Shogunate fleet said to be Yoichi Azuma by a surprise attack by night of the common sense buster.

When a disturbance of the late Tokugawa period was over, this ship changed Otentosama-maru and the name and was used afterwards even if it was as a commuter pass cargo-passenger boat not a warship in Meiji period.


The other.


Is the childhood friend who was always swung around by Shinsaku Takasugi; Shunsuke Ito for the younger brother.
I survive it while many sworn friends die in the late Tokugawa period even if he enters in the Meiji period, and it is with a politician.




It is later first Prime Minister, Hirobumi Ito.




Hirobumi Ito leaves the words that do not comment on him posthumously of Shinsaku Takasugi who is for elder brother.




"It is like the thunder and lightning if it works and is totally like wind and rain if I issue words.

Many people do not just have even surprise, a person to look directly at daringly.

This is our Shinsaku Takasugi."

Hanzo Hattori

Most famous ninja, Hanzo Hattori.

The ninja therefore is the existence that must not be outstanding.
Unfortunately there are few history books which recorded the habits of ninjas, and the actual situation does not know it so exactly.

When there is not the secret order from a feudal lord, They are said to run agriculture, and to have made living.

Meanwhile, there is the famous ninja whom anyone knows.
It is Hanzo Hattori.

Anyway, Hanzomon is left in the Imperial Palace.
It's told that it was named because the mansion of the Hanzo was in front of the gate, and there is this.
There is Hanzomon Station in the neighborhood, and there is it to a subway called Hanzomon Line.

Then what kind of person would Hanzo Hattori be?

The Hattori family has succeeded to the name of Hanzo over each generation.
Therefore, the person of the Hattori Hanzo more than one.
Therefore there are plural people called Hanzo Hattori.

Hanzo is appointed as Ieyasu Tokugawa, and the person who held a mansion in front of the gate of Edo-jo Castle is Hanzo Hattori, Masanari Hattori of the second generation.
"Hanzo Hattori" and a person known to are him.

But, in fact, he is not a ninja. It was to first Hanzo Hattori, Yasunaga Hattori which was his father that it was a ninja and was the social position of the samurai from the second generation.

Yasunaga Hattori was Iga ninja.
However, though the village of the Iga is small, the ninja clan increases, and Yasunaga appears in Kyoto because it became the economic distress.
And He served Muromachi Shogunate 12th general, Yoshiharu Ashikaga.

But the recent Muromachi Shogunate followed the course of the fall, and there was not the great work.
Yasunaga Hattori served the Matsudaira (the later Tokugawa) of Mikawa (East Aichi).

Second Hanzo Hattori, Masanari Hattori was born in Mikawa.
Therefore it was not Iga ninja since he was born.

After having inherited birthright of the Hattoris, he still struggle in the weak Tokugawas of the power and give an outstanding job as a master of the spears.

The power of Ieyasu Tokugawa increases steadily and becomes a one who reigns over the whole country at last afterwards.

Masanari Hattori was taken up by a chief vassal.
He was a samurai, but was in a position to command Iga ninja of the Tokugawas from the relationship that father was from the Iga ninja.

In other words it was a fact to have been the boss of the ninja.

From this, the image called a great ninja is completed, and there are many at all a novel, comics, movies which made him a character, and, in the coming ages, Hanzo Hattori exists.

In addition , Matsuo Basho of the identity of the famous haiku people in Japan will also present a theory that was Hanzo Hattori.

Yoshimitsu Ashikaga

Yoshimitsu Ashikaga established power of the Muromachi Shogunate which began in Takauji Ashikaga.
