Back in touch

Dear everyone,

My email server collapsed so I've been out of touch for a couple of weeks. If
any one answered my request for a discussion about Choshu's role in the
bakumatsu period, I'm sorry for not replying - maybe you could post it again.

In the meantime I have another question: does anyone have information or
can suggest resources on life in the imperial court in the bakumatsu period.
I've become fascinated by the seven nobles who were spirited away to
Choshu after the defeat by Satsuma and Aizu in 1863.

Many thanks,

Gillian

as to more precise info I'll check around but I've just finished Murdochs
third volume of his history of Japan and it gives a lot of info on the
situation of the court, people events etc before and during this period. It
may be dated but it tells a more complete story than more modern works.
