¡Hidetatsu Den
¡SASAKI JO / Cho
Description
[Machine Translation] In his fiefdom of Izu Nirayama, he was thoroughly frugal and thrifty, and in times of emergency, he led a group of musketeers in Shokko brocade hakama and haori to negotiate with English ships and repel them. He foresaw the arrival of the black ships long before they arrived. He studied Dutch studies and Western gunnery, appealed for the strengthening of sea defense, built reverberatory furnaces, and commanded the construction of the Edo Bay daijo (castle). This is the life story of a rare master representative who laid the foundation of modern Japan by looking ahead to the times before anyone else and farther than anyone else.
