Mitsukuni Tokugawa Mr. is known to all Japanese people "Mito Komon" is.
" Inro I see it " He is the one who travels all over Japan to get rid of evil.
This person has a too strong image of TV, but what kind of person was he actually?
You can see a person who is different from your imagination!
Was Mitsukuni Tokugawa's childhood bad?
1628 , One of the three Tokugawa families, the first feudal lord of the Mito Tokugawa family I was born as the third son of.
Mr. Komon has a strong image of grandpa, but he also has a childhood.
By the way, Ieyasu Tokugawa Is Mitsukuni's grandpa It corresponds to.
Mitsukuni's mother was not a formal concubine, so she "don't give birth!" However, I was secretly born in a vassal's house.
Mitsukuni's brother was also born in the same situation.
Raised in hiding, he met his father when he was 15 years old.
And four years ago, the successor to the Mito Domain was Mitsukuni . It was decided to.
"Light" of Tokugawa Iemitsu who was the shogun at that time I was educated to be a successor, but I think I had mixed feelings about taking over his real brother, Mitsukuni was a child. At that time, I was crazy.
In a flashy fashion, he wielded a sword in the town, cut people as soon as he was frustrated, and even slashed Tsuji. I often go to Yoshiwara Yukaku.
Is there such a past for Mito Komon? I'm surprised, but I'm also surprised that there was such a bad behavior in the Edo period.
But 18 years old I read at that time, a Chinese historian, Sima Qian " History I was impressed by the fact that I began to devote myself to my studies.
At that time, Mitsukuni's evaluation was "Young man working hard on the path of morning and evening Bunbu" It has been with. People change.
By the way, "History" says that people are considerate, don't drown in love, and have happiness beyond the pain.
Atonement for Mitsukuni's brother?
Around 24 years old , The eldest son was born. However, he never met and was entrusted to Takamatsu (Kagawa Prefecture), where Mitsukuni's brother is.
And the first time I met was 13 years old At that time, it is said that he did not show much familiarity.
In addition, he adopted his own child and adopted his brother's eldest son and second son. It's like a so-called child trade.
Mitsukuni must have always felt guilty about taking over his brother.
And as it is his brother's child becomes the third feudal lord of the Mito domain It is.
I feel very good brotherhood. The battle for succession in the Edo period has a muddy image.
Start making the history book "History of Japan".
Around 29 years old , History book "History of Japan" Let's get down to work.
What is Dai Nihonshi? Kamitake From the first emperor Gokomatsu A history book that summarizes the world of the 100th emperor.
249 years to complete It was a major project of the Mito Domain, which took a long time.
Partly because of the influence of Sima Qian's "History" that I read when I was 18, I started thinking about making a Japanese history book.
Furthermore, even though he was born in a samurai family, he could not make a name for himself in the peaceful world of Edo, so he thought that if he completed this history book, he would be able to make a name for posterity.
However, thanks to that, the Mito clan's finances were originally difficult, but one-third of the clan's income for making this book. It will also cost you nearby, further putting pressure on your finances.
"Mitogaku" will be taught at clan schools nationwide Mitsukuni who made the study.
Shoin Yoshida And Saigo Takamori It is said that he also learned and became the driving force of the Meiji Restoration.
Behind the scenes, there is also the idea that the act of putting pressure on public finances and burdening the people was out of the idea of Mitogaku's "loved ones." It's difficult to evaluate that he was a "master" ...
Perhaps he was the one who gave priority to his ideals.
Is Mitsukuni a curious personality?
Around 34 , Father of the first feudal lord, Yorifusa Tokugawa Died and became the second feudal lord of the Mito Domain.
At that time, when his boss died, his subordinates also died afterwards "Junshi" Was regarded as a virtue, but Mitsukuni abolished for the first time. I made it.
"Junshi is loyal to Yorifusa, but isn't it unloyal to me?" It is said that he visited the house of his vassal.
It is said that this was a will left by Mr. Yorifusa to Mr. Mitsukuni. Is that great for his father?
Ezochi (Hokkaido) I have been exploring three times. Did you have a travel temperament?
At that time, I accompanied two black people to Ezo and made them vassals.
Oda Nobunaga also has a black man as a vassal, so was he a similar and dynamic personality?
In addition, we order a large amount of foreign products such as wine, Dutch socks, and parakeets. He is more and more like Nobunaga-san.
Those who have a lot of food for the first time in Japan, such as ramen, cheese, dumplings, black soybean natto, etc.
When it comes to ramen, making it is my specialty, and I act as a vassal.
The famous "Take care of your dog!" Law ・ Pity for living things In opposition to the decree, Shogun Tsunayoshi Tokugawa We donate the fur of more than 20 dogs to.
And even though meat eating is prohibited, I eat beef, pork, and mutton without hesitation.
You can see the curious personality and boldness in this episode alone.
Wasn't it Mr. Mito Komon in the image?
Speaking of Mito Komon, it is an image of traveling all over the country to get rid of evil. However, in reality, I only traveled to the Kanto region, Kanazawa, Atami, etc., and I just wandered around the Mito domain.
It is said that the vassals who traveled all over the country to collect materials on the history of Dai Nihonshi had a strong image.
"The one who is here is the deputy general of the world ..."
I'm sure you're familiar with the lines every time, but in reality, I didn't have the title of "deputy general."
The lord of the Mito Tokugawa family was not in the Mito domain, but was resident in Edo for a long time.
I was exempted from the "change of attendance" that goes back and forth between Kunimoto and Edo every other year, and I stayed there for a long time.
Among the Mito feudal lords, Mitsukuni is the one who has returned to Kunimoto, and the number is about 11 times.
He spent five years in his birth and ten years before he retired and died in Mito, but otherwise he was in Edo.
Perhaps because of that, everyone called him a "deputy general" because he was always by his side. It was a so-called nickname. It's a good name.
The name "Mito Komon" is "Mito Chunagon" It comes from the fashionable name that changed the official position to the Chinese name.
In that case, there were seven people who were in the official position of Chunagon in Mito, so they are all "Mito Komon-sama".
Mitsukuni's father and Mitsukuni's adopted child, the third generation, are Mr. Mito Komon.
Summary
It's a little different from Mito Komon's image, but it seems that "curiosity" has jumped into "country tour" and "defeating bad guys".
However, it is exciting for some reason to imagine that Mr. Komon is traveling all over the country with his companion.
The model people of Suke-san and Kaku-san really exist.
