History sketch
(Japanese)
[Renewal history of history sketch ]
There are many traces of the Edo period in Tokyo. However, they are not only famous objects like the Sensouji temple or Kanda Myojin shrine.The photographs of the old highways, such as Tokaido Highway,feudal domains's residences, the Ako loyal retainers, and the cemeteries of famous peoples etc. were arranged.
In the Meiji Restoration, although Edo was not burned down, many people were killed.Tokyo was not unconcerned to assassination, wars, etc. which were made in Japan's various places from the U.S. warships arrival in a short time. The item relevant to the TV series in 2004 "the Shinsen-Gumi" is also important.
Although it is the trend of the postwar militarism contrary, there are many what is left in many people's heart, and ruins. Although arrangement is not made still more, I want to upload one by one.
The Meiji Restoration is not only the passage of the wealth and military strength of Japan. It was also the passage to the modern nation. The photographs about the Great Kanto Earthquake, great novelists' footprints, the statue of Shigeru Yoshida who contributed to the postwar revival and Olympic Sports Park etc. were uploaded.The photographs of the North Korea spy ship which shooked the peace-addicted Japanese were also uploaded.
