>> YOUR LINK HERE: ___ http://youtube.com/watch?v=gzNe7LbQqyc
A redux of our previous Sakamoto Ryoma video extended by three and a half minutes. • Sakamoto Ryoma, a samurai of the Tosa domain, was a hero of Japan's Meiji Restoration, and the transition into modern Japan. He, along with his friend, Nakaoka Shintaro were assassinated at the Omi-ya soy sauce store in Kyoto, 1867. Ryoma was 31 years old, and Nakaoka was 29. Their graves sit on a hill side in Ryozen Kyoto. • The logo of the Softbank telephone company is based on the flag designed by Sakamoto. • Sakamoto is said to have negotiated with the Satsuma and Choshu clans to form the Satcho Alliance, a powerful force that led to the downfall of the Tokugawa shogunate. • Also, please consider signing up to our monthly; The Japanese Sword Newsletter. • The sign up page is here. https://www.thejapanesesword.com/news... • If you have any more questions, don’t hesitate to contact us here: https://www.thejapanesesword.com/cont... • Wikipedia (Japanese language version only at the moment) • https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/γγΌγ«γ»γγΌγ... • Or leave a comment in the comment section. • Thank you so much for watching! • ******************** • Welcome to my YouTube Channel! • My name is Paul Martin and I am a Japanese sword specialist living in Tokyo, Japan.
