It is the place where the Great Government was held、From "tenkataihei" that the Edo Shogunate had protected,From 「Tenkataihei」, it can also be said to be the location of the turning point heading for a turbulent era.
After the Warring States Period,I think that people thought that the time of 「Gekokuzyou」 was not good.
As the Tokugawa family keeps over the generals,When I think that peace which pledged not to return again to "Gekokuzyou" will start to collapse、There are emotional things.

It seems that the idea of preventing the overthrow by the Great Government Refugee and having the Tokugawa family cautious after the reconciliation of the Great Government was also successful halfway.
However, due to the movement of the courtroom from the perspective of Iwakura, the overthrow becomes the reality.

In European powers and the flow of civilization opening up,It is sad that we had to tell the end of 「Tenkataihei」Is it the flow of the times?

Nijo Castle in Meiji Era
It is a castle built in the Edo period,I feel romance at the place where it was built by Mr. Tokugawa who won the world of "Tenkataihei".
For me it is a symbol of peace.
I think that there is a strange centripetal force in the thing that Ieyasu handled with the feeling that it will never return to the time of subordinate overtaking again。
As a system, separate authority and power.Those with the top of power are inherited by relatives and not meritism.
I feel the strength of the will to not do power fighting.It may be said that it is ideal, but the thoughts of the people who survived Shimonokita who took his life are hot。I think that it is giving some lessons to the present age, how about you guys?
