Description

[Machine Translation] Minoru Maejima is called the founder of the postal system, and his portrait is now used on the one-yen postage stamp. However, he was neither a shogunate vassal nor a samurai from the Satcho-Dohi clan, but was born into a farming family in an era when the samurai, farmer, artisan, and merchant class system was still in full effect. His father died soon after his birth, and he had nothing to back him up. No matter how much he studied harder than anyone else, no matter how much he traveled and how much he learned, he could never quite make it in the world. How did Maejima overcome such anguish and pave the way? And how did he create a system that allows anyone to deliver their thoughts and feelings? This is the story of the man who created "Yubin," a piece of paper that connects to the world.

ゆうびんの父 / 門井慶喜/著

郵便制度の祖と呼ばれ、現在では一円切手の肖像にもなっている前島密。だが彼は士農工商の身分制度の影響が色濃く残る時代にあって、代々の幕臣でも薩長土肥の藩士出身でもなく農家の生まれだった。生後すぐに父を亡くし、後ろ盾が何もない。誰より勉強をしても、旅をしていくら見聞を広めても、なかなか世に出ることができなかった。そんな苦悩を乗り越え、前島は道をどう切り開いたのか。そして、誰もが想いを届けられる仕組みをいかにしてつくったのか。挫折の数だけ人は強くなれる―一枚の紙片が世界につながる、「ゆうびん」を生んだ男の物語。
