In 1877, just nine years into the Meiji Restoration, the Satsuma domain rose in rebellion against the imperial government. Led by Saigō Takamori — a hero of the restoration himself — the samurai of Kagoshima fought their final battle. This episode explores the causes of the rebellion: the abolition of samurai stipends, the ban on swords, and the conscription of commoners. We follow Saigō's school in Kagoshima, the siege of Kumamoto Castle, the battle of Tabaruzaka, and the final stand at Shiroyama where Saigō died a legendary death. Along the way, we encounter the contradictions of a warrior class fighting to preserve their way of life in a rapidly modernizing Japan. We also touch on Saigō's complicated legacy — is he a tragic hero or a reactionary? And how did his image transform from rebel to national icon? This is the story of Japan's last civil war and the end of the samurai era. #SatsumaRebellion #SaigoTakamori #MeijiRestoration #KumamotoCastle #Shiroyama #Samurai #BoshinWar #SeinanSenso #Tabaruzaka #Kagoshima #Conscription #HaihanChiken #ChitsurokuShobun #Haitorei #Saigō #JapaneseHistory #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
