Did Yoshinobu learn here? ❗ I visited on Monday, December 6, 2021 while walking around the city of Mito. From the homepage of "Ibaraki Prefectural History Museum" ● Yoshinobu Tokugawa [1837, Tenpo 8 to 1847, Koka 4] ① Birthday September 29, 1837 ② Birthplace Mito Domain Upper Mansion in Edo Koishikawa (currently near Korakuen, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo) Discipline and education in childhood ① Child care staff The role is Jinzaburo Inoue As for education, Aizawa Seishisai and Aoyama Nobumitsu were in charge of literature, Fukuchi Hironobu was in charge of artillery, Sano Shiroemon was in charge of archery, Saiga Hachijiro was in charge of swordsmanship and swimming, and Hisagi Naojiro was in charge of equestrian. ② Child-rearing policy / characteristics In Nariaki's book addressed to Jinzaburo Inoue, who plays the role of Maru Shichiro, "Because the prince may be sent to an adopted child, learn well with Bunbu. If you are weak and do not know Bunbu, it will be a shame for the Mito family. ， Do not neglect the three departments of archery and equestrian. Especially, equestrian is not useful only in Baba. It is advisable to go out to Tokugawa with the attached people, but it should be a waist lunch for children. " The basics of child-rearing were simple and strong, and academics (practical studies) that were useful in real life. ③ Place of child support He was moved to Mito in the 9th year of Tenpo, the year after he was born, and was raised in Mito for about 9 years until he left the prefecture in 1847, when he was ordered to inherit the Hitotsubashi family. ④ Character of Tokugawa Yoshinobu (advantages / disadvantages) It was clever, stubborn, and relentless. It lacked the tenacity to go through to the end. ⑤ Why was it raised in Mito? There was a wish of his father, Nariaki, to prevent the splendid customs of Edo from becoming a part of his body, to train him sufficiently, and to let him walk freely in the domain so that he could communicate with his soul. ⑥ What was the customs of Edo at that time? Luxury (luxury), decadence (mostly = disorder of morals), bribery rampant. The samurai become accustomed to Taihei and become vulnerable, and he hangs his head in front of a wealthy merchant. ⑦ What kind of study and play did Yoshinobu Tokugawa do? Immediately after waking up, read the Four Books and Five Classics. A nearby valet ties his hair and corrects the mistake. After breakfast. Penmanship until 4 o'clock (10 am). After that, I went to the Kodokan (temporarily opened in 12th year of Tenpo), which was just opened, and received an oral reading of the Four Books and Five Classics from the instructor. field trip. I returned to my room at noon and had lunch. Penmanship and rereading in the afternoon. Only in the evening will you be given time to play. As for the play, he was enthusiastic about the brave play, saying, "It's an army (Ikusa), it's a fire." He was a pretty rough and mischievous person.
