神戸海軍操練所・陸奥宗光顕彰碑 - Kobe

Difficult to read

Recommended for those who like history.

There is a spectacular monument to the Kobe Naval Training Center next to NTT Com's Kobe Office, which is about 50 meters from here. However, this monument is probably older. It is meaningful to have the Mutsu Munemitsu Honoring Monument at the same location as the Kobe Naval Drilling Monument. First, Mutsu Munemitsu, famous for his efforts to revise the Treaty of Inequality with Western countries in the Meiji era, seemed to have served as the fourth governor of Hyogo Prefecture before performing his feat. Then, he entered the Kobe Naval Training Center built by Katsu Kaishu in this area, and became friendly with Ryoma Sakamoto, who had also entered. Mutsu, the foundation of these two big guys, shows his talent and grows as Ryoma told me, "Only me and Mutsu can eat without two swords." is. At this place. There are a lot of difficult characters, but at the dawn of modern Japan, it's a memorable place to run for the clouds on the slope!

■ Kobe Naval Training Center, Muneko Rikuoku Honoring Monument Two stone monuments in Minato Park. Both were built in 1973. Lined up in the east and west. The mountain side is the front side and the sea side (south side) is the back side. The Navy monument on the east side and the Mutsu Munemitsu honoring monument on the west side. East Navy monument. The mountain side (north surface) is duplicated, the principal is the south surface of Suwayama Park's "Navy monument". The Japanese poem of Matsudaira Harutake on the north back was not duplicated. ¡ The west is a commendation monument. There are two inscriptions on the mountain side (north surface). An inscription praising Munemitsu during the time of the governor of Hyogo Prefecture and an inscription entitled "Dedicated to people who love national history and remember local history." The same sentence as the title of is marked on the anchor surface of the characteristic "Kobe Navy Training Center Monument", which is about 200m east of here and has a ? anchor shape. ■ By the way, on the sea side (south back), there are 2 inscriptions on each side, and there are 4 inscriptions on the back. How busy. One of them is the name of former Prime Minister Masayoshi Ohira (then Foreign Minister) during the second Tanaka Cabinet era. Tanaka and Ohira who achieved normalization of diplomatic relations between Japan and China in 1972. I praised Foreign Minister Somitsu here. However, the inscription is not on the side of the Somitsu Honoring Monument in the west, but behind the Navy's monument in the east, so there is a sense of shuffle. It seems that they will compete and collaborate in the same year. It's an inscription on the back side. If you're greedy, you'll be confused later, and you won't notice if you make a mistake during the same period of construction. ? In addition, the principal "Navy's monument" is a tribute to the history of the Navy's birth in Kobe and the shogun Tokugawa Iemochi who made it possible. The Navy's brush is still produced by the Navy. At the end of the Edo period. The one written by touching the training center is in the young inscription on the back, but the emphasis of Kaishu himself engraved in the principal is different, thanks to the lord Iemochi who listened to his light story and used it for politics. This is the most valuable and important point, showing that the armaments that lag behind other countries, especially the foothold for strengthening the navy, have been established here in Kobe. ● I wondered if it was appropriate for the two stone monuments to be long with one registered name, and it is still difficult to think of a new name or name. Each inscription has its own claim and value. Yes. The back side may not be a monument that supplements the front side. I would like to hope that it will be supplemented with a public tag. I want to touch Munemitsu, but I want to change the opportunity. ● I would like to add a supplement to the "Navy Monument". I wrote it as a duplicate, but the workmanship is close to restoration. The quality of the stone is improved and the size is also good. The fonts and brushes are also faithfully copied. It is not just a duplicate. However, since the original remains in Yamate, it was duplicated rather than restored. The times are so good that it can be misunderstood. While the Yamate book was also repaired, it is not uncommon for it to be built in a flat park, even though it is a duplicate. It is more familiar to more people than the Yamate book. The inscription on the back is busy, but in the times I can't help being pushed.
