Edo Period: the Bloody Wind at the End of the Tokugawa Period

About This Novel

In June 1853, four steamships from the United States arrived in Edo, Japan, breaking Japan's two-hundred-year policy of seclusion and becoming known as the Black Ships in history. The actual ruler of Japan, the Tokugawa Shogunate, announced the founding of the country and signed a series of treaties with Western powers. At the same time, Japan's local samurai formed the Zunban faction and began a vigorous "overthrow" movement. In 1867, the shogunate returned power to the emperor, but it did not intend to give up control of Japan. The two sides fought a fierce battle at Fushimi Toba in Kyoto. Although it ended in the defeat of the shogunate, Edo Castle was still in the hands of the Tokugawa family.
