Japan Trip: Yoshida Shoin Shrine, Pioneer for Meiji Restoration, Hagi Yamaguchi 21 Samurai
Japan Trip: Shoin Shrine, a Pioneer for the Meiji Restoration, Hagi City, Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan 21Moopon
Nestled in historic Hagi, Yamaguchi Prefecture, is the Shoin Shrine (松陰神社,) dedicated to Yoshida Shoin. A true patriot, Shoin promoted forward thinking and was thought of as a rebel by the shogunate. Being sentenced to death for his part in an assignation plot, his followers believe Shoin sacrificed his life for the good of Japan.
The present shrine building completed in 1955 to remember Shoin is located east of Hagi's former castle town, near from Tokoji Temple. The shrine ground houses the Shokason Juku School, and Shoin’s Former Residence. In Shoin’s Former Residence, visitors can view the small 3 and half tatami mats Shoin was confined to during his house arrest. Likewise, visitors can see the old wooden building of his school which houses portraits of his students, who were pioneers during the Meiji Restoration. It is, though, unfortunate, that entry is not permitted and both buildings can only be viewed from the outside.
Visitors can also visit the Yoshida Shoin History Museum which lies near the entrance of the shrine grounds. The museum display important events in Shoin’s life through displays of life sized figures. Visitors can also find exhibits of his writing and letters in the shrine’s treasure hall (Homotsuden). However neither the museum nor Homotsuden has English explanations available.
The first prime minister of Japan, Ito Hirobumi, was among Shoin’s ex-students. Two of the Former Hirobumi Residences lies about 5 minutes by foot away from the Shoin Shrine. Visitors will have a chance to compare and contrast the difference in Hirobumi’s life before and after he became prime minister.

Shoin Yoshida in Japan
I try to introduce Shoin Yoshida of thinker in Japan
Once all of the Japanese has experienced a big change in 1868.
The samurai society came to an end in 1868
Because a lot of low level samurai has revolutionized to build a modern state.
Shoin Yoshida who is a thinker in Yamaguchi Japan greatly influenced their thought.
He was education to people in this place.
He left a message to one year before he died.
～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～
You must not be afraid that you are different from another person to attain the object of your ambition.
Don't be fooled by secular opinions. .
Do not worry about sorrow and pains after having died
Know that the immediate comfort is temporary.
Time of 100 years is only an instant. So you must make an effort not to waste time
Shoin Shrine, Hagi Yamaguchi - 松陰神社☆山口県萩市 - Japan As It Truly Is
Shoin Shrine is dedicated to Yoshida Shoin, a teacher and forerunner to those who'd bring the downfall of the Japanese Shogun.
Actually Yoshida Shoin (also called Torajiro) is one of the most interesting persons just before the start of Japan's crash course of modernization. When Commodore Perry entered Japan with American gunboat diplomacy and forced Japan to open up from its centuries of isolation, Shoin tried to board one of the US ships and stowaway to go to America. When that failed, he was jailed, but began a school and planted some of the seeds that would bring the downfall of the Shogun. He taught several pupils who would grow up as major players that would restore the Emperor to rule and open up to the West, including Japan's first Prime Minister.
Yoshida Shoin ended up being executed at age 29 in 1859 for insurrection. Without him, the Japan of today might not even exist. Here you can see the very modest school he taught at, as well as the shrine to him and tea room.
This video captures Shoin Shrine at the peak of the cherry blossom season, which is one of the best times to see it.
There is also a Shoin Shrine in Setagaya, Tokyo, dedicated to him as well.
The words of Yoshida Shoin, a great man of the Edo period
It is a famous saying of Yoshida Shoin, a great man of late Edo period in Japan.
I hope that it will be a power to those who want to accomplish something.

Japan Trip: Hagi in Japan's History--Kido Takayoshi Residence, Yamaguchi Prefecture, Hagi Town
Hagi Town in Yamaguchi Prefecture is rich with art and culture. From its Hagiyaki Pottery, highly praised by the tea ceremony community, to former samurai mansions, visitors can feel Japan’s past in this small quiet town.

Takayoshi is an important Japanese statesman who helped overthrow the Tokugawa family’s 264 year regime to restore the power back to the emperor. Once the new government was formed, Takayoshi became one of the most effective officials in the new government.
His birth home in the Horiuchi quarters in Hagi is a simple, traditional Japanese home. The 250 year old home has many small tatami rooms. There is a small garden as well where a pine tree (over 300 years old) stands.

Meiji Segment 2: Rise of the New Leaders
Perry showers his Japanese hosts with gifts and enters into negotiations with Japan for regular commercial relations while the black ships wait menacingly on the horizon. Soon after, the samurai clans less loyal to the shogun express outrage at the assertion of power by the U.S. and European countries. When they assassinate a few Westerners, they receive a severe lesson in naval bombardment. Among the more progressive samurai, Yoshida Shoin proves to be one of the first and most adept at learning from the West. He inspires followers who travel internationally. They become an invaluable cadre of younger Japanese governmental leaders even as Japan descends into civil war. Victorious rebel samurai clans install a new, boy emperor in Edo (Tokyo) and rule in his name: Meiji.

Located on the delta of the Abu River facing the Sea of Japan, Hagi is a well preserved historic town, with its samurai heritage and beautiful Hagiyaki Pottery. Visitors interested in Hagi’s rich past are advised to visit Hagi Museum.
Built in 2004, the museum is centered on the concept of “Hagiology.” Hagiology has many sub-themes such as nature, culture, history and so on, as Hagi is rich with all these elements and more. Within the museum, visitors can examine historic artifacts and view the displays. As Hagi is home to many famous characters of Japanese history, such as Yoshida Shoin (a key player in shaping Japan’s future pre-Meiji Restoration), there are also displays about them here as well. And English information is available.
There is a gift shop within the museum with local souvenirs such as summer tangerine. Books about local historic figures as well as Hagi original items are available here. In addition to the gift shop, there is a restaurant within the museum as well. Dishes include local Hagi meat and seafood entrees. Visitors with a sweet tooth may opt for the summer tangerine ice cream which is supposedly served only here.

Terletak di tempat bersejarah Hagi, Prefektur Yamaguchi, yaitu Kuil Shoin yang didedikasikan untuk Yoshida Shoin. Prajurit sejati, Shoin yang memiliki pikiran yang maju dan dianggap sebagai pemberontak oleh shogun. Yang dijatuhi hukuman mati karena terlibat dalam alur penugasan, pengikutnya percaya Shoin mengorbankan hidupnya demi kemajuan Jepang.
Bangunan kuil saat ini yang diselesaikan pada tahun 1955 untuk mengingat Shoin ini berlokasi di sebelah timur bekas kastil kota Hagi, dekat dari kuil Tokoji. Tanah kuil ini ditempati oleh sekolah Shokason Juku dan bekas kediaman Shoin. Didalam bekas kediaman Shoin, pengunjung bisa melihat tatakan tiga setengan tatami tempat Shoin dikurung pada saat rumahnya ditahan. Demikian juga, pengunjung bisa melihat gedung kayu tua dari sekolahnya yang terdapat foto dari murid-muridnya, yang menjadi perintis selama restorasi Meiji. Tempat ini, walaupun sangat disayangkan, tidak diperbolehkan untuk dimasuki dan kedua gedung ini hanya boleh dilihat dari luar saja.
Pengunjung juga bisa mengunjungi Museum Sejarah Yoshida Shoin yang terletak didekat pintu masuk tanah kuil. Museum ini memajang hal-hal penting dalam kehidupan Shoin dan memajang juga patungnya yang berukuran sama seperti saat beliau hidup. Pengunjung juga bisa menemukan pameran dari tulisan tangannya dan surat-surat beliau di aula harta karun kuil (Homotsuden). Selain itu, baik museum maupun Homotsuden disediakan penjelasan dengan menggunakan bahasa Inggris.
Perdana menteri pertaman Jepang, Ito Hirobumi, adalah salah satu dari murid Shoin. Dua dari bekas kediaman Hirobumi terletas sekitar 5 menit berjalan kaki dari kuil Shoin.

The good combination of nature, culture and history is here in Yamaguchi.
My channel, Japan Silhouette, features beautiful scenery, traditional culture, Origami arrangement, and the warm heart of the Japanese people.
I also visit other countries and record my impression about them, perhaps from a Japanese perspective.
