Choshu Five: The Samurai who Modernized Japan

Discover the untold story of the Choshu Five, the samurai who transformed Japan into a modern nation. In 1863, five brave men from Japan embarked on a perilous journey to London. They defied the laws and risked their lives to learn from the Western world. Their names were Inoue Kaoru, Ito Hirobumi, Yamao Yozo, Endo Kinsuke, and Inoue Masaru. Together, they formed the Choshu Five. This was a time when Japan was isolated and resistant to foreign influence. However, these men believed that to strengthen Japan, they needed to embrace the knowledge and technology of the West. They studied various subjects including engineering, chemistry, and geology, and visited museums, factories, and banks to understand the Western world. Upon their return, they played a pivotal role in the Meiji Restoration, which marked the end of the Tokugawa Shogunate and the beginning of modern Japan. Ito Hirobumi became known as “the father of the Japanese Constitution,” Inoue Kaoru as “the father of modern Japanese diplomacy,” Yamao Yozo as “the father of Japanese engineering,” Inoue Masaru as “the father of Japanese railways,” and Endo Kinsuke as “the father of the modern Japanese mint.” Their legacy continues to shape Japan to this day. Join us as we delve into the lives of these remarkable samurai, their daring journey, and their indelible impact on the history of Japan. Order Link: https://www.pacificatrocities.org/ech...
