On June 5th, 1864, the Shinsengumi arrested Kiemon Masuya, a merchant who had been acting suspiciously.
When Toshizo Hijikata, the deputy commander, tortured him in the storehouse of the Shinsengumi camp and Maekawa residence, he confessed that his real name was Shuntaro Furutaka, which led to the Ikedaya Incident.
On July 19th, a combined force of the Choshu forces and the feudal clans of the shogunate fought around the imperial palace, which was known as the Kinmon Incident.
We will bring out the “Ikedaya Incident” and “Kinmon Incident” from historical materials from the Shinsengumi and the patriots.
We also have a corner dedicated to Eiichi Shibusawa, whose portrait will be featured on the new 10,000 yen bill.
