[Title] The Aizu Domain in the Late Edo Period: The Journey to Kyoto That Sealed Their Fate [Author] Ryoichi Hoshi [Price] ¥814 (tax included) [Published] December 20, 2001, First Edition ● April 25, 2008, Third Edition [Publisher] Chuko Shinsho [Specifications] 237 pages, Shinsho format In December 1862, Matsudaira Katamori, the lord of the Aizu domain, entered Kyoto as the Kyoto Shugoshoku (Military Governor of Kyoto), as the situation became increasingly volatile. With a tragic determination, "like carrying firewood and jumping into the fire," Katamori and his retainers devoted themselves to the protection of Emperor Komei and the capital. However, the reforms by Hitotsubashi Yoshinobu and others did not bear fruit, and the path to decline led to the Taisei Hokan (the return of power to the Emperor) and the Battle of Toba-Fushimi... The tragedy of the Aizu domain, which had to share the fate of the shogunate, began here. What are the difficult days of the Aizu domain retainers revealed by the newly discovered "Late Edo Period Aizu Domain Correspondence Documents"...?
