History of Asia

A handsome historical person who can be used even today

Handsome guys who always capture the hearts of women ...

Even in this long history of Japan, there are many people whose popular episodes have been passed down to the present day. So, this time, I would like to introduce some handsome people in history.

Ryoma Sakamoto (1836-1867)

Ryoma Sakamoto , familiar from history textbooks However, it is said that it will not appear in future history textbooks.

Looking at the famous photo of Ryoma Sakamoto, a priest at the end of the Tokugawa shogunate, he is slender and has a good standing appearance.

At that time, he had a personality that was loved by both men and women, and he had a lover enough to talk about his engagement and had exchanges with women from all over Japan.

It was a woman named Ryō who dropped such a popular Ryoma, and when Ryoma was injured at Teradaya in Kyoto, she began to act together. The anecdote that she went to Japan's first honeymoon to Ryu and Satsuma after her marriage is a famous story.

Hijikata Toshizo (1835-1869)

Hijikata Toshizo who lived in the same age as Ryoma Is the Shinsengumi's [ Demon Deputy Chief ], But it was the first time for a popular man to receive a lot of love letters from a woman in Hanamachi, Kyoto.

At the age of 17, he had a relationship with a female clerk at the indentured servant, and he quit the store because of the antipathy of the owner of the store. Shinsengumi was hated in the city of Kyoto, but this person was the only exception.

For the first time in a lot of popularity, the person himself is also [ not a job ] And said to the surroundings.

Mr. Hijikata was such a popular person, but he wasn't married and had no concubinage. The fact is that the women who sent love letters did not leave his child. The director, Isami Kondo, was married and had many concubinages.

What is the difference between Hijikata and Kondo?

It's still modern, but [ it's great to be a boyfriend, but to be a husband ... ] May have been. I often say that my husband and boyfriend are different types ...

Katsu Kaishu (1823-1899)

Edo Castle Bloodless Kaijo He was an official of the shogunate who was the driving force behind the realization of.

After studying Western martial arts, he was a person of both literary and military arts who opened a cram school of Dutch studies and military law, and was also the person who laid the foundation of the Japanese Navy.

Looking at the above picture, isn't it a handsome guy with a deep moat and a refreshing look? Even in my private life, I had many concubinages in addition to my wife, and in addition to giving birth to maids and concubinages, I also had my wife and concubinage live together. As expected, my wife also pleaded for her grave to be with her concubinage ...

Yoshinobu Tokugawa (1837-1913)

He was the last 15th Shogun of the Edo Shogunate and was reigned for only one year, but he is an indispensable general in history textbooks such as the execution of the Taisei Hokan. He lived a very long time, and I feel that he lived until very recently, from the Meiji era after the fall of the Shogunate to the 2nd year of the Taisho era.

This photo was taken after the end of the Edo period, so I'm getting older, but when I was younger, it had a medieval look that made me feel relaxed, and I heard that it was good to grow up.

After retiring from the shogunate, he was praised for his achievements by the time he was awarded the Marquis in 1902, and he has also returned to politics for the first time in 35 years as a member of the House of Lords.

He was also a hobbyist and seemed to have had a more fulfilling life after returning to power.

His photography is famous, but he also enjoyed cycling in Sufu, where he spent more than 30 years.

Heihachiro Togo (1847-1934)

Heihachiro Togo, who feels astringent from the photo, became a national star by defeating the Russian Baltic Fleet, which was said to be the strongest commander-in-chief of the Allied Fleet during the Russo-Japanese War.

After the Russo-Japanese War, Education of Emperor Showa as President of Tomiya Gakuinsho I was also involved in.

When I looked for a photo when I was young, it seemed to be an intelligent handsome guy like this, and in 1926, in 1926, the American [ TIME ] It seems that the cover of the magazine was displayed for the first time in Japan.

Because of this appearance, it seems that she was popular with women from a young age, but it is said that she was a very beloved wife and had a close relationship with her, such as building a villa in Ito for the medical treatment of his wife.

Handsome episode in the era without photos

Some of the warlords of the Warring States period are said to be handsome even if there are no pictures left.

Yukimura Sanada He is one of the military commanders often referred to as handsome.

In the summer camp of Osaka, the episode that hunted down Ieyasu Tokugawa one step further but splendidly scattered is a story as a tragic hero.

However, if you guess the actual appearance from portraits and historical materials, you can see that the height is as small as 140 cm and the teeth are missing, which is completely different from the image of games and dramas. Yukimura Sanada is probably written in good-looking because he was so gracious that he refused Tokugawa's invitation because he felt the gratitude to Toyotomi Hideyoshi in addition to his strenuous efforts in the Siege of Osaka.

Not only in Sanada Yukimura, but also in the background of the spread of handsome episodes, it is possible to hear the thoughts of the vassals who want to make the lord look cooler and the deified anecdotes. However, in common with them, [ I want to talk better ] A person with human charm that makes you think You can say that.

If you find your favorite historical figure, it may be interesting to compare it to how dramas, novels, games, etc. are written. It may be good to actually read the materials and visit the places related to it to learn deeply.
