"Snorra Edda" (散文のエッダ) "Gesta Danorum" (デンマーク人の事績) JapanZuiganji temple cavesOriginally used as an area for memorial services and a cinerarium to house the ashes of the deceased, making of these caves dates back to the Kamakura period (1192-1333) and they continued to use them until the Edo period (1603-1867). In ancient times, Matsushima was called the "Koyasan of Tohoku (東北の高野山)" - a sacred, hallowed ground where many went to pray for safe passage to the Pure Land in their next life.Masakado-zuka (Masakado's Tomb, 将門塚) 
The tomb enshrines the decapitated head of Taira no Masakado (903?-940), a descendant of Emperor Kanmu and a hero of the eastern region of Japan. A precursor of the samurai warriors, Masakado carried out political reforms in the Kanto area (the region surrounding Tokyo) and became immensely popular among the common people for helping the weak and poor and fighting against oppressors. His courage and audacity were, in a sense, mirrored in the samurai spirit as well as the ethos Edokko (Tokyoites). In 940, Masakado was defeated and killed in the Tengyo-no-ran (his struggle with the government), and his decapitated head was put on display in Kyoto. Legend has it that his head flew all the way back to the Kanto as a vengeful spirit and finally landed in this spot. People believed that such vengeful spirits, which were thought to cause plagues, could be appeased by worshipping them as guardian deities. Thus it was that in 1309 Masakado was enshrined as one of deities of Kanda Myojin (Kanda Shrine), which was originally located here. Every autumnal equinox the Masakado Tomb Ceremony is held. Also, every other May hundreds of mikoshi (sacred palanquins), including the Masakado Mikoshi that carries his spirit and horen (imperial palanquins) are paraded on the shoulders of hundreds of people throughout the Kanda and Nihombashi areas during Kanda Matsuri (Kanda Festival). At other times of the year, the Masakado Mikoshi rests peacefully in a storehouse at Kanda Myojin and is kept in good repair by the Masakado Tomb Preservation Society.

Odawara Castle Ruins (小田原城)Odawara Castle was first constructed in the middle of the 15th century. The Hojo Family conquered this area early in the 16th century and gradually expanded the castle. The castle, the base of the Hojo Clan during the Warring States period, was one of the largest castles around surrounded by a 9 km moat and fortified by earthen walls. In the Edo period, it was transformed into a castle complex consisting of a castle keep (donjon), watchtowers, gates, stone walls, and a moat as the shogunate’s important western defensive base. The castle complex had been in the same location from the medieval to early modern period. In the modern period following the Samurai era, the castle kept another buildings were dismantled. Also, the stone walls collapsed due to the great Kanto Earthquake. After that, the site of the castle was used as public facilities such as a girl’s school, an elementary school, a baseball field, a library, and so on. Since 1983, however, a castle restoration project has been implemented as "national assets" and "historical park. Ongoing reconstruction is underway for Sumiyoshi moat, Akagane-mon Gate, Umadashi-mon Gate and Goyomai-kuruwa Bailey. |

The found aqueduct is a mainline of clean water towards Edo Castle, as shown in the figure, it connects the wooden conduits to a few stacked stone masu. This large ishi masu showss the size of the mainline of waterworks in the Edo period and is reminiscent of the actual city facilities of the time. The wooden conduits which were excavated with the ishi masu are on display at Chiyoda City's Hibiya Library & Museum. Tokiwabashi Mon Gate 常盤橋門The Tokiwabashi Mon Bridge was constructed by the loads of the Dewa and Mutsu Province. It dates from 1629, when Tokyo was known as Edo. Tokiwabashi was a bridge spanning the outer moats of Edo Castle. The gate, which was one of the five major gates of Edo, was also known as Asakusa-guchi or Ote-guchi (kuchi [guchi] means gate). It lead to the Oshu Dochu, the major route leading out of Edo to northern Japan. As passage through Tokiwabashi Gate led directly to the Ote Gate, the main entrance to the inner precincts of Edo Castle, the gate was of strategic military importance. The gate is an uchimasu-gata gateway, which is to say that it includes a square enclosed courtyard which surrounds the area immediately behind the gate. On the north side of the courtyard was a watari-yagura, a defensive structure built across the gate, resting on stone walls. The grand guardhouse was located beyond the gate. The east side of the gate included a kabukimon (a wooden gate made from two pillars and a crossbeam). On the other three sides the gate was surrounded by banks of earth. The Tokiwabashi Mon Gate was destroyed and removed when Japan’s samurai period ended. In 1928, the remaining stone walls, the “new” stone bridge constructed in 1877, and the bridge’s stone wall supports were designated by the government as a national historic site. (Chiyoda City) |
The first planned residential district in Edo(江戸で最初の町割りの地)Honcho-dori St. is a street that begins at the front gate of the medieval Edo Castle, originally built by Ota Dokan. It leads toward the Sensoji Temple, which has prospered since the ancient times, and continues toward Oshu. After coming to Edo in the Tensho Era (1590), Tokugawa Ieyasu first restored Tokiwabashi, which leads from the front gate of Edo Castle, and then to build a planned residential district (machiwari) along Honcho-dori St. To oversee this district, he appointed Naraya Ichiemon, Taruya Tozaemon, and Kitamura Yahei, all of whom had followed him to Edo. Apart from this, the official gold mint (Kinza※) of the Tokugawa shogunate was established where the Bank of Japan building now stands, and various types of stores lined the main streets, which were crowed by the lines of traveling samurai, traders, and craftsmen. Hence, the history of Honcho as the very first planned township after Tokugawa’s entrance into Edo shall be recorded here so that it may be passed on the future generations.※ Kinza was governed by the Goto family. September the first of Reiwa 2019 Historical evidence: National Museum of Japanese History, Professor Emeritus, Testuo Tamai Designated an Important Cultural Property (building) on June 7, 1961 Sakurada-mon Gate of Edo castle
Currently called Sakurada-mon, this gate is officially named Sotosakurada- mon, soto meaning "outer" as opposed to the "Uchisakurada-mon" or "inner" Gate (Kikyo Gate) near the citadel. These gates were named Sakurada-mon because the area was called Sakkurada-go (town) in the past.The Sotosakurada-mon Gate has a dual structure consisting of the Korai Gate on the outside and the Watariyagura Gate on the inside with a square in-between. It covers an exceptionally large area (approx. 1,056 m2) as highly defensive castle gate for the Nishinomaru (west compound). The Sotosakurada-mon Gate was originally built in the Kanei era (1624 to 1644), while the existing gate is based on a gae reconstructed in 1963. The gate was damaged by the Great Kanto Earthquake in 1923 and repaired it. On March 3, 1860, the Japanese Chief Minister Tairo Ii Naosuke was assassinated by a group of samurai who seceded the Mito-han feudal state outside of the Sotosakurada-mon Gate in an event known as the Sakuradamon Incident. Kakizaki Hakyo (蠣崎波響), 1764-1826 He had two titles: One was "chief retainer of the Matsumae clan." Hakyo, who was a son of daimyo of the Matsumae clan by birth, entered an apprenticeship to become a chief retainer from the age of 18 years, and for 42 years, that is, until he retired at the age of 60 years, he continued to perform a central administrative position within the Matsumae clan. Another was artist/poet. He studied art under the great Edo master So Shiseki from his teens, and later under the famous Kyoto artist, Okyo Maruyama. While devoting himself to the study of art, he had close contact with such poets such as Rikunyo and Chazan Kan, who wrote outstanding Chinese-style poems. Throughout his life, he continued to produce beautiful works of art and also enjoyed Chinese-style poetry. Hakyo, chief retainer who lived in Matsumae, was one of the foremost literary experts of the Edo period. At the time when Hakyo was involved in the administration of the clan culture, that is, around the last part of the 18th century and the beginning of the 19th century, clan history experienced much turbulence. In 1799 Japan's feudal government took direct control of the eastern (Ainu-owned) parts of Ezo to defend the country's northern borders, and in 1807 ,it extended this direct control to include the entire island, and ordered the Matsumae clan to relocate to Yanagawa in Mutsunokuni (Fukushima prefecture on Honshu island). As the chief retainer, it was Hakyo's responsibility to restore the clan to Matsumae, but this period was also a very prolific time for the artist Hakyo who left many paintings dating from this era. Many of his hanging paintings and drawings on folded screens were bought by Buddhist temples, Shinto shrines and wealthy merchants in Matsumae, and it is considered that the funds thus generated were used to promote the return of the Matsumae clan to their former feudal domain. In 1821 the Tokugawa shogunate government allowed Hakyo and his clan to return to Matsumae. To achieve the huge task of the restoration of Matsumae, Hakyo would draw a small picture that he dedicated to the Shinto shrine every morning, and after the restoration of the Matsumae clan, he continued to visit the shrine and offer pictures as a sign of his appreciation. The many works exhibited here each express one part of the various feelings, wishes and passions Hakyo must have experienced. |

1837 Louis Auguste Blanqui firstly used this term → Arnold Toynbee used the term in his work = fixed to a scienific term Past interpretation: the Industrial Revolusion independently occurred in each country → Present interpretation: economic discrepancy (e.g., North-South issue) was issue in question, industrialization and economic takeoff Background18th century: Englandcapital accumulation by the woolen industry, etc.
1760-early 19C First Industrial Revolution Origination of Industrial revolutiontechnological innovation
industry by simple device (eg, factory-system handicraft industry) → industry-system, machine-driven industry using complex device and machine Cotton textile industry and slave tradeEngland: active cotton textile industry ↔ the industrial revolution started from cotton textile industry17C: cotton made in India → popular cotton requirekd for slave trade → barter cotton for slave 18C: cotton demand↑ →
invenstion and improvement machines to produce cotten that was cheaper than cotton made in India Breadth of industrial revolutionEngland: capitalist-labor structrue = establishing capitalist society in the early stages →aggravation of interest opposition between capitalists and labors + middle of 19C: workshop of the world = prosperity ↔India became immiseration derived from bankrupt of textile trade, owing to the high dependence of raw cotton export rather than cotton porducts → Industrial revolution followd by France, Germany, USA, etc.→ These countries colonized countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America to obtain cheap crude materials and to sell enormous amounts of goods Japan (日本) The development of light manufacturing based on the power sources of coal and steam engine
England (18C): spontaneity developed → follwed by The industrial revolusion occurred firstly in the world (the delay of industrial revolution in the other countries was induced by the fast development of industrial revolution in England - one opinion) 1760-1830 (the opinion is divided) The fuel revolution (燃料革命) and the improvement of iron-making technology → the explosive consumption of wood coal → rapid deforestation → fuels changing from wood coal to pit coal = fuel revolution iron-making process using coke mede of pit coal discovered by Darby A → the production of machines made of iron became easily the development of power sources: coal mining (the treatments of ground water were obstacles)
1712 Newcomen T: steam-engined drain pump in practical use
1733 Kay John: invented flying shuttle (飛び杼) that is a part of weaving machine → speeding up = productivity enhancement → cotton yarn shortage |
Development of transportation capacity
1802 Trevithick Richard: invented steam locomotive called Penydarren the heavy industry developed by the power sources working with oil and motor England cotton production area = USA → after the autarky (economic independence) peformed by the American War of Independence (1775-1783) and the Civil War → supply center of raw cotton changed to India
Second Industrial Revolution in England was lead by overseas colonies for import of materials and export of artifacts
→ promoting reform of custom duty (central character, Chamberlain Neville ↔ the government had not adopted the custom duty because of the policy of liberal trade
possible to interpret that England depressed because of the liberal trade
Small problem: England market occupied by manufactures made in Germany
black-ink balance: distribution service (marine transportation business) and insurance business, such as government bond and equity
high market share of light industry manufacture
→ current-account surplus → compensating the slackness of manufacturing business on importation
USA: industrial revolution due to the surge of industrial regions in northern USA induced by protective trade after the Civil War
big cities were developed in the western and eastern edges of broad continent → the boom of the construction of coast-to-coast railroads → developing industrialization Effects on societiesSocial government affected by monopolist capitalists → market expansion for enlarging activities
re-realizing the importance of occupied territories as market → work under adverse environment + urbans falling into slum wino (+ hygiene issue) generalization of factory work induced by the industrial revolution → formation of laboring class
people in laboring class could not get the voting right even by the first amendment of election law laboring-class people in urban areas got the voting right Urbanization: progressed by the concenetration of laborsnewly-emerged social problems: foul living conditions, over-population, worsening security, etc. Economic structureIndustrial revolution → development of capitalism → emergence of monopolist capital mixed with finance capital and industrial capital monopolist capital → influenced the politics, because monopolist capital tried to expand the "market" with the government |

William Robert Broughton, arrived and anchored off Abuta (Irie).Receiving an urgent message, the Matsumae Clan dispatched one of their clansmen but he was unable to communicate with the crewmen verbally. On September 26 (Aug. 25 of Kanssei Calendar), another clansman, who had experienced with receiving Russians, was dispatched, and inspected the ship, gave them permission to copy the chart of the northern Japanese islands and asked them to leave. In the meantime, the crewmen of the Providence went ashore at the mouth of the Horonai River by boat, drew drinking water, cut firewood from Mt. Horonai-nupuri (Mountain of SHIMIZU) and returned to the ship. The whole story is handed down throught the yukar oral epic told by Taneranke Toshima.
