Furuchizu de Meguru Ryoma no Tabi Vol.2 "Bushi no Kabe" wo Norikoeta Otoko

[Machine Translation] A trip to meet Sakamoto Ryoma, the new hero of the closing days of the Tokugawa shogunate! Sakamoto Ryoma is the star of the 2010 Taiga Drama "Ryoma-den" (The Legend of Ryoma). During his short 33-year life, Sakamoto Ryoma traveled halfway around the world from Kochi, Edo, Kobe, Nagasaki, and Kyoto at the end of the Tokugawa Shogunate, and became the driving force behind the Meiji Restoration that ushered in a new era. Using old maps and documents as clues, the footsteps of Ryoma are superimposed on contemporary landscapes to bring the breath of "the scene of history" into relief. The travelers who visit Ryoma's places of historical interest using old maps are Michifumi Isoda, an up-and-coming historian, and Yoshizumi Ishihara, an actor with a passion for history. After escaping from Tosa, Ryoma studied under his lifelong mentor, Kaishuu Katsu, in Edo (now Tokyo). In Kobe, he worked hard to establish the navy under Katsu, and in Nagasaki, he founded Japan's first trading company, Kameyama Shachu. This film explores Sakamoto Ryoma's ability to overcome the old samurai barriers to become Japan's maritime transportation powerhouse.
