  • A New Interpretation of the Bakufu's Refusal to Open the Ryukyus To
    Volume 16 | Issue 17 | Number 3 | Article ID 5196 | Sep 01, 2018 The Asia-Pacific Journal | Japan Focus A New Interpretation of the Bakufu’s Refusal to Open the Ryukyus to Commodore Perry Marco Tinello Abstract The Ryukyu Islands are a chain of Japanese islands that stretch southwest from Kyushu to In this article I seek to show that, while the Taiwan. The former Kingdom of Ryukyu was Ryukyu shobun refers to the process by which formally incorporated into the Japanese state the Meiji government annexed the Ryukyu as Okinawa Prefecture in 1879. Kingdom between 1872 and 1879, it can best be understood by investigating its antecedents in the Bakumatsu era and by viewing it in the wider context of East Asian and world history. I show that, following negotiations with Commodore Perry, the bakufu recognized the importance of claiming Japanese control over the Ryukyus. This study clarifies the changing nature of Japanese diplomacy regarding the Ryukyus from Bakumatsu in the late 1840s to early Meiji. Keywords Tokugawa bakufu, Bakumatsu, Ryukyu shobun, Commodore Perry, Japan From the end of the fourteenth century until the mid-sixteenth century, the Ryukyu kingdom was a center of trade relations between Japan, China, Korea, and other East Asian partners. According to his journal, when Commodore Matthew C. Perry demanded that the Ryukyu Islands be opened to his fleet in 1854, the Tokugawa shogunate replied that the Ryukyu Kingdom “is a very distant country, and the opening of its harbor cannot be discussed by us.”2 The few English-language studies3 of this encounter interpret this reply as evidence that 1 16 | 17 | 3 APJ | JF the bakufu was reluctant to become involved in and American sources relating to the discussions about the international status of negotiations between Perry and the bakufu in the Ryukyus; no further work has been done to 1854, I show that Abe did not draft his guide investigate the bakufu’s foreign policy toward immediately before, but rather after the Ryukyus between 1854 and the early Meiji negotiations were held at Uraga in 1854/2.

  • 1 07 Turmoil at the End of the Edo Period and the Shinagawa Daiba Battery
    1_07 Turmoil at the End of the Edo Period and the Shinagawa Daiba Battery Turmoil at the End of the Edo Period and the Shinagawa Daiba Battery Growing External Threats and the Arrival of Commodore Perry From the end of the 18th century, many foreign ships began passing through the waters of Japan. With a growing sense of alarm, the Edo shogunate increased its coastal vigil throughout Japan, but as the number of foreign ships continued to grow, many incidents began to occur. The arrival of the U.S. naval squadron led by Commodore Matthew C. Perry in June 1853 in Edo Bay, the shogun’s very own backyard, was a major incident that shook the Edo shogunate to its core. Construction of the Shinagawa Battery To strengthen the defenses of Edo Bay, the Edo shogunate set about building 11 marine batteries from Shinagawa to Fukagawa Suzaki (present-day Koto City, Tokyo). Egawa Tarozaemon Hidetatsu, the daikan administrator of Nirayama in the Izuno Province (present-day Izunokuni City, Shizuoka Prefecture), directed the construction of the batteries based on documents from Europe. Due to a number of factors, including financial difficulties, however, only six batteries in total were completed, the Number One to Three batteries, Five and Six, and the shore-side Gotenyama Battery. Foreign Embassies at Gotenyama In 1858, Japan concluded treaties with the five nations of the United States, Holland, Russia, Britain and France, and it was decided that Edo would host foreign ambassadors, which led to the construction of embassies. This triggered attacks on foreigners by samurai who held anti-foreigner sentiments.

They passed on at the edge of the road, until they came in sight of a palanquin, occupied by Shimadzu Saburo, father of the Prince of Satsuma. They were now ordered to turn back, and as they were wheeling their horses in obedience, were suddenly set upon by several armed men belonging to the train, who hacked at them with their sharp­ edged heavy swords. Richardson fell from his horse in a dying state, and the ‘ other two men were so severely wounded that they called out to the lady ： Ride ’ on, we can do nothing for you .

  • The Satsuma Students
    The Satsuma Students A prominent, 12-metre monument of nineteen youngsters clad in suit stands before the JR Kagoshima Chuo Station. They are the Satsuma Students, youths from Kagoshima who went to study in the West, during a time where overseas travel was banned. Shimadzu Nariakira, 28 th Lord of the Shimadzu Clan which ruled over the domain of Satsuma (present day Kagoshima prefecture), believed that Japan needed to acquire Western knowledge and technology to strengthen itself to avoid being colonised by the Western powers. Nariakira passed away in 1858, but his vision was being realised in 1865, when Satsuma assembled a group of youths and secretly sent them on a study mission to Europe. Except for one, all the other youths returned to Japan and contributed greatly to the modernisation of the country. Namamugi Incident and the Anglo-Satsuma War In 1862, four British nationals were being were being attacked by Satsuma samurai retainers in the town of Namamugi (present day Yokohama), for disrespecting their Lord. Although the unfortunate incident was born out of cultural misunderstanding, two of the British were seriously wounded and one died. As a result, the British demanded heavy reparations from the Bakufu government and the domain of Satsuma, which Satsuma refused. By the following year, a series of failed negotiations had led to the British Royal Navy sailing into Kagoshima Bay, demanding reparations directly from Satsuma. In attempt to coerce Satsuma into submission, the British seized three steamships in the bay, which were owned by Satsuma. Interpreting this as an act of aggression, Satsuma opened fire at the British, leading to the Anglo-Satsuma war.

  • Foreign Influence and the Transformation of Early Modern Japan
    Foreign Influence and the Transformation of Early Modern Japan YAYORI TAKANO The Meiji Restoration of 1868 is known as one of the great turning points in Japanese history. An event unique to Japan, it was the Meiji Restoration that set Japan apart developmentally from its Asian neighbors. However, to fully understand the nature of the Restoration and how it occurred, examination of the preceding years is necessary. We can thus say the nineteenth century, or more specifically, the years from 1853 to 1868, identified as the bakumatsu, were a watershed in the history of Japan. The bakumatsu, whose characters give it the literal meaning “end of the bakufu,” was the transition period from the Edo period to the new Meiji era. It was during this time that Japanese political thought changed radically, shaking up the entire nation. After two hundred years of seclusion, the Japanese finally made the decision to end its sakoku foreign policy. Central authority in Japan underwent a huge transition as the power of the Tokugawa bakufu, the governing body of the Edo period, slowly deteriorated, and the foundation for the new Meiji government emerged. While other Eastern nations fell further behind Western powers in the changing world, Japan strode forward, maintaining its sovereignty and quickly catching up to the other major foreign powers. Over the years, historians have studied and analyzed the complexities of these years and their implications repeatedly. Interpretational differences regarding the significance of the Meiji Restoration, as well as differences of emphasis, or even fact, have given rise to many scholarly debates. The biggest controversy, however, surrounds the causes of the Restoration.

Vol. 33, No.3, December 1995 Meiji Japan's Encounter with Modernization Hisao FURUKAWA * I The Modern Age The periodization of history is probably just as important a task for the historian as the establishment of areal divisions is for the researcher in area study. How history is divided, and how the world is divided into areas, express in their demarcations the condensation of a comprehensive view of world history and of a view of the relationship between nature and man. During my two trips to China in 1990 and 1991, I had the pleasure of reading Ichisada Miyazaki's two-volume History of China [Miyazaki 1977], which convinced me that the division of time into four periods - ancient times, the middle ages, pre-modern times, and most-modern times (the modern age) - in a centralized society such as China was appropriate. This four-period system is extended to the whole of world history, and the following reason is given for dividing Europe's modern age from pre-modern times. Silver ingots mined and smelted in the New World by slaves were brought to Europe, which profited from unheard-of prosperity.... The European world came to create an industrial revolutionary culture that practically regarded preceding cultures as worthless. This began in the latter half of the eighteenth century, and the history of Europe at this stage suddenly entered a new phase.
