Speaking of the Aizu clan, after the lord Matsudaira Katamori assumed the post of Kyoto Shugoshoku, the clan was forced to take the brunt of the pro-Shogunate faction during the Boshin War, and suffered tragic events such as financial difficulties for the clan, the bombardment of Tsuruga Castle, and the suicide of the Byakkotai. After that, the clan overcame the cold treatment and achieved an unusual promotion despite being from the Aizu clan, and we would like to introduce the life of Yamakawa Hiroshi, the youngest elder retainer of the Aizu clan. We hope you will read to the end to find out what kind of life the great general known as Wisdom Yamakawa lived after that. We have collected materials from various documents and media, so we apologize if there are any missing sources. We would like to add them, so please let us know if you have any suggestions. ◼️Images, videos, and sound effectsPhoto AC Video AC Sound Effects LabWikipedia NHK Nippon Television TV Asahi◼️ReferencesBUSHOO!JAPAN (Bushou Japan) ~ Literacy Bar ~ The footsteps of the Aizu clan elder Yamakawa family since the Meiji periodNorth Kanto Boshin War TravelogueThe Battle of Seinan
