The Arctic 150 years ago today: Boshin War (27 Jan 1869) https://buff.ly/2RgxGIb In Japan, the instability which had followed the arrival of Perry’s ships had ultimately led to the termination of the Tokugawa Shogunate and the concentration of power in the hands of Emperor Meiji and his supporters. A final attempt to reassert Tokugawa power in the Boshin War was defeated in 1868-9, as imperial forces chased the rebels north into Ezo. Following this victory, Japan formally annexed the Ainu lands of Ezochi, embarking on a policy of rapid consolidation and modernization. #arctic #history #welovemaps #map #1860s #1869 #alaskapurchase #boshinwar #canadianhistory #hokkaido #january #january27 #meiji #shogunate #emperormeiji #arctichistory #japanesehistory #russianempire #tokugawa #ezorepublic #maps #ainu #todayinhistory #historytoday #historyteacher #historybuff #historynerd #historygeek #worldhistory #asianhistory (at Sapporo-shi, Hokkaido, Japan) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtILuJwAQW8/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=szfkxar4adzs

靖国のやしろにいつくかがみこそ やまと心のひかりなりけれ

靖国神社に鎮座まします神鏡こそは大和心の光であるなぁ(大略)

The very Shinkyo(sacred mirror) which is enshrined in the Yasukuni Shrine is the light of the Japanese spirit.(free translation)
