The last Shinsengumi commander Soma Kazue's journal was found and will be displayed in Hino Shinsengumi museum next year.
But No confirmed source.
I picked it up from this blog.
http://funnyaranya.blog.shinobi.jp/Entry/112/
The museum displayed Yamazaki Susumu's journal 2(3?) years ago but they don't publish yet. |
I went to see the journal last Sunday.
You can see some pictures here.

I also bought the full text but there wasn't any new discovery.
I expected some details about last days of Kondo and Hijikata. |

Or, at least, when they compared the photograph, which is that of a woman in her 30's, with a confirmed photograph of her in her 60's, there is no reason not to think it is hers. |

They are going to move Tokugawa graves in Yanaka cemetery to Kan'ei-ji. |

There were some injuries, broken noses and arms and such. The weapons were metal pipes, bokken (wooden swords), "Meriken Sakku", which catches fingers, etc.
What I know about dueling is from fiction, but I believe in western tradition dueling is one-to-one, both persons using the weapon selected by the person challenged. If they use pistols each person gets one shot, if swords, they stop after the first blood, so you could have a duel with no serious injuries.
But in Japan it seems there was no limit to the number on each side--it could be 10 to 1--and no limit on weapons. Is that right? Also, when did the duel officially end? When everyone on one side was killed (or escaped)? |

Well known Shinsengumi researcher Asakura Yu discovered Yasutomi Saisuke's life after Hakodate.
Yasutomi Saksuke is known for reporting Hijikata's death to his family in Hino and he was believed to be assassinated in 1871.
According to her reserach, Yasutomi was confined in Ashimori han where he's from and died there in 1873.

Much of history lies below the surface
BY EIICHI MIYASHIRO AND YUKI OGAWA
THE ASAHI SHIMBUN
2009/5/15
Research of ruins on seabeds and in lakes or rivers is increasing in Japan, where many sites are yet to be fully explored.
In Kushimoto in Wakayama Prefecture, the U.S.-based Institute of Nautical Archaeology held an excavation survey January and February of the Ertugrul, a Turkish warship that went down off the coast during the Meiji Era (1868-1912).
The 2,344-ton wooden battleship of the Ottoman Empire's navy was on its return voyage after paying a courtesy call on Emperor Meiji in 1890 when the ship was caught in a storm, run aground and went down.
All but 69 of the 650 souls on board perished in the disaster.
The story of the brave rescue efforts by local residents remains a part of Turkish historical lore to this day.
The survey team, led by Turkish archaeologist Tufan Turanli, consisted of members from Turkey, Spain and Japan. The survey began in fiscal 2006.
This year, the team salvaged 3,513 items, including armaments, broken ceramic pieces, coins and a large cooking pot.

When Iran-Iraq war started in 1985, the Japanese residents in Iran left behind in the airport.
While all other foreigners were saved by the airplanes which their government sent, the Japanese goverment didnt do nothing for the Japanese citizens.
Then a Turkish airplane arrived at the airport and saved the Japanese.
Later the Turkish government said "We never forget the rescue efforts of the Ertugrul."

74 Years Later, an Honor for California's First Japanese American Winemaker
By Lynda Lin, Assistant Editor
Published by the Pacific Citizen on August 3, 2007
***********************************************
Nagasawa was born Hikosuke Isonaga in 1852, as the fourth son of a Satsuma Clan samurai, Confucian scholar, stone carver and astronomer. In 1865, at 13, he along with 14 other Japanese men were chosen to go to Europe to study the ways of the Western world. During this time, Japan was closed to the world, so the young men were smuggled out of Japan's Kagoshima Harbor and first taken to Hong Kong. There, Hikosuke Isonaga cut his hair into a short Western-style crop, put on Western clothes and became Kanaye Nagasawa.
Nagasawa settled in England and Scotland for several years to study Western medicine before meeting Thomas Lake Harris, a utopian religious leader whose teachings Nagasawa began to follow. Harris established a community called the Brotherhood of the New Life on the shores of Lake Erie. Harris sent Nagasawa to Cornell University in Ithaca, New York to study winemaking.
http://www.pacificcitizen.org/content/2007/national/aug3-lin-nagasawa.htm |
Reading this today and I recognized that Mori Arinori also went to England at the same time as Nagasawa, met Thomas Lake Harris, became a Christian and followed him to the utopian community, too. Two other famous Meiji men who went to London in 1865 were Inoue Kaoru (Monta) and Ito Hirobume (Shunsuke), but of course, they were called back to Japan to take part in the struggle to topple the Shogunate.
Unlike Nagasawa, Mori returned to Japan then came back to the U.S. as the first Japanese ambassador to the U.S. He was there when the Iwakura Mission arrived
with Kido Takayoshi, Okubo Toshimichi and Ito in 1872. It seemed that the other men saw Mori as an upstart at that time.
