"They are invaders."

This recognition led to conflict with the Western countries finally.
Yokohama, near Edo.
There was a foreign settlement.

”Please refrain from going out on this day.”
There was notification like that to them from the Tokugawa.
But its notification was not thorough.
Some British people was went to sightseeing with the horse in that day.

・・・・・・・・・
 
This day,matrix of the father of the lord of Satsuma was passing through there.
(De facto lord.)

"They are invaders."
He had this thought strongly.

This era,when there matrix goes through,people had to prostration on the ground.
If they had discourtesy against samurai. (If samurai had thought so)
Samurai has allowed Killing their.

British people came across this matrix.
It would of course was unusual,
They went through front of this matrix with horse.
 
”Down from the horse.”
Satsuma samurai said to them in Japanese. (maybe satsuma accent)
They would had not be able to understand it.

・・・・・・・・・

"If you have time to cry. Fly high than it."
There was a words like that into Satsuma
Satsuma samurai had been referred to typical of the samurai.
In this case,It appeared in the bad case.
They killed one person.

Perpetrator wasn't unknown,it was clearly Satsuma samurai.
Of course, the foreign settlement was enraged.  
 
"We should immediately retaliate against Japan with the armed."
Such opinions were accounted for many.

・・・・・・・・・
 
Samurai has allowed Killing person other than samurai.
If they want it.
When Japanese people had holed up as a nation,that was not problem.

"But your think are wrong."
As a reality,people who think like that appeared from oversea.
As a reality,Japanese must socialize with those people.

After all,the era had come when should be changed.
