Bazza Posted September 24, 2019 Report Posted September 24, 2019 National Geographic have put up a link to Saigo Takamori's life that I found illuminating: https://www.nationalgeographic.com/archaeology-and-history/magazine/2017/09-10/saigo-takamori-the-last-samurai/ A good synopsis for those not familiar with his place in Samurai history and the downfall of the Shogunate in 1868. There is a lovely triptych shown as part of the story. BaZZa. 3 Quote
