A Summary of Matsudaira Shungaku (Matsudaira Keiei), a Man Who Was Busy Mediating During the Hectic End of the Edo Period, and His 63-Year Life

"Saigo Don" is a historical drama that depicts the end of the Edo period. When talking about the political situation, Hashimoto Sanai of the Fukui domain declared to Saigo Takamori, "The shogunate is incompetent." It is true that there is such an image.

Taste-testing Japan’s “I love Obama” cakes【Taste test】

There’s an obvious gag gift element to these manju from Fukui, but is the pun delicious? Recently our Japanese-language reporter Masanuki Sunakoma was out for a drive, and before he realized it, he drove right into Obama.

Even when he was appointed as the governor of Echizen, his refusal to accept any bribes was very impressive, but what k…Echizen · Echizen Read Article

Asakura Yoshikage is the most representative Sengoku daimyo of Echizen. He is also well known as a slow and indecisive character, and Yusuke Santamaria gave a very tasteful performance as him in the historical drama "Kirin ga Kuru."

He was the perfect character to be destroyed by Nobunaga - but in reality, it cannot be said that Yoshikage was solely responsible for the Asakura…Echizen · Echizen Read Article
