Description
[Machine Translation] Niigata had prospered as a port of call for Kitamae-bune, but the recession and bad weather had cast a shadow over the city's prosperity. However, the Nagaoka Clan demanded the collection of heavy royalty payments to Niigata, its main source of revenue. Some privileged merchants, moreover, were skimming off the top of the royalty payments. Efforts by kimono merchant Fujishiro Wakui and others to control the angry people proved fruitless, and in 1768 the townspeople rose in revolt, and Niigata was ruled by the townspeople. Although only two months old, the autonomy of the townspeople of Niigata took place one hundred years prior to the Paris Commune. This work depicts the "Niigata Minato Disturbance," intertwining the love story between Fujishiro and Oyuki, a geiko who adores him.
