  5. ⚔️THE ASHIKAGA - KYŌTO'S CHAOTIC SHŌGUNATE🔥

    Very close to own Camellia Garden Teahouse is Tōji-in (等持院), funerary temple of the Ashikaga shōguns.

At the peak of his influence at the turn of the 20th Century, Nagasawa was operating one of the largest wineries in California, producing more than 200,000 gallons of wine a year from the vineyards of the 2,000-acre Fountaingrove estate..." bbc.com/travel/article/2022111

  10. #OnThisDay in 1867 in #Japan signaled the end of the #Tokugawa #shogunate (徳川幕府) (1603-1867). The shogun was the military and practical leader of Japan. #OTD Tokugawa Yoshinobu, the 15th Tokugawa shogun (known for his reform efforts), tendered his resignation to the Emperor after fellow daimyo (who feared his success at those reforms as well as international interference in Japanese military and politics), effectively beginning the #Meiji Restoration (and the Boshin War). #history #histodons
