The Satsuma Rebellion: An Episode of Modern Japanese History details an important period in Japan's history and an interesting tale of the nation's samurai. Augustus Henry Mounsey's book opens with an account of the Meiji restoration, which refers to Japan's restoration of imperial rule in 1868. This is a logical place to start, as the author is establishing the conditions that lead to the Satsuma Rebellion. Although the Satsuma Domain played an important role in the chain of events that lead to Emperor Meiji assuming power of Japan, many samurai had become disenchanted with the ruling government. Parts two and three of Mounsey's book detail the role of the Satsuma in restoring the Meiji to power and their subsequent place in the government until the rebellion. In part four, the Satsuma Rebellion of 1877 is detailed, in which the forces of protesting samurai were crushed and the leader of the uprising was killed. Mounsey's work is a detailed and entertaining telling of an important part of Japan's history. It is an exciting story that is sure to appeal to readers of both cultural and military history. The Satsuma Rebellion is recommended to all readers interested in Japanese and samurai history. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

"Nakahara Hisao, sM-keibv., * eldest eon of Sh6bei, shizoku of the district of Ishiu-in in the Kagoshima ken: f "Arrested after search on the 3rd of February, 1877. I was appointed sho-keibu on the 4th of January, 1876. Towards the end of November of the same year--I forget the exact day--I went to the house of Kawaji Toshiyoshi, chief of the police, and after learning from him various matters concerning the different ken, he ended by telling me that there had been of late indications of disquiet in the Kagoshima ken, but said that as Saigo was residing in the ken, be did not think there would be any disloyal and riotous proceedings; he added, however, that in case a rising should break out, there was no help for it but for me to confront Saigo and kill him. I submitted to his order, and subsequently--I do not recollect the exact day--I went to the bouse of Oyama Eansuke, a shizoku of the Kagoshima ken, and was told by him, that if Saigd originated any insurrectionary movement he must be killed.

On the following day, the 25th, I saw Kawaji for a moment at the police office, and told him of my intention to apply for leave to return home, and asked him to use his good offices on my behalf. He replied that that was a good thing, and urged me to show zeal in the service. In...

The restoration of the Meiji Imperial dynasty in 1868, after 250 years of the Tokugawa Shogunate, decisively opened Japan to the outside world and the monarchy embraced modernization, including the creation of a new Westernized army. However, this modernization process was resisted by the traditional Samurai feudal nobility, leading to a series of battles. The first clash between the two cultures came swiftly. During the Boshin War of 1868–69, a French military adviser, Jules Brunet, changed sides to join the insurgents. They won several engagements before the final crushing of the rebel Ezo Republic. After this point, the Imperial Army continued to modernize along French lines, and social changes began to impoverish Samurai noblemen, who lost their social and political role and their associated privileges. During 1876, the powerful Satsuma Domain, around Kagoshima in south-west Kyushu, became a focus for discontent. Its leader Saigo Takamori effectively ignored the central government, and in January 1877, increasing unrest broke out into open rebellion. The Imperial forces were now much stronger, and the Navy could land troops and bombard Kagoshima. The bitter Satsuma siege and attempted capture of Kumamoto Castle finally failed in April, and the Samurai made a last stand at Shiroyama on 24 September, choosing to go down fighting. This marked the final defeat and displacement of the Samurai class. This fully illustrated title explores the fall of the Samurai in detail, examining the arms, tactics, key figures of both sides, and charting the increasing Westernization of the Imperial forces.
