		Nearly in the centre of Kojimachi-ku, on an eminence, surrounded by moats, stood the castle of Yedo, formerly the residence of the shoguns, which was burnt down in 1873.
		Owing to the influx caused by the periodical visits of the daimyos (feudal lords) with their numerous attendants, it probably exceeded 11 million during the early part of the 19th century.
		At the restoration in 1868 the shogunate was abolished, and the population of Yedo speedily decreased.

	UNBEATEN TRACKS IN JAPAN
		Yedo belongs to the old regime and the Shogunate, Tokyo to the new regime and the Restoration, with their history of ten years.
		Yedo is hardly seen before Shinagawa is reached, for it has no smoke and no long chimneys; its temples and public buildings are seldom lofty; the former are often concealed among thick trees, and its ordinary houses seldom reach a height of 20 feet.
		On the plain of Yedo, besides the nearly continuous villages along the causewayed road, there are islands, as they may be called, of villages surrounded by trees, and hundreds of pleasant oases on which wheat ready for the sickle, onions, millet, beans, and peas, were flourishing.

		In Yedo two of their fellows were even then hot upon Kira's tracks, but he was so strongly guarded by the troops of his son Uyesugi, Lord of Yonezawa, that all their efforts to kill him had proved abortive.
		When those already in Yedo heard of this they were furious; Yoshida (aet 61) and Horibe (aet 75) declared that at their age they could not be sure of living till next spring, and vehemently insisted upon prompt and immediate action.
		Now, the Yedo of 1700 was to the rest of the empire what London was to England at large in the reign of Charles II.

		In the midst of a nest of venerable trees in Takanawa, a suburb of Yedo, is hidden Sengakuji, or the Spring-hill Temple, renowned throughout the length and breadth of the land for its cemetery, which contains the graves of the Forty-seven.
		Twenty thousand souls are said to have perished in it, and the dead were carried away and buried by cartloads; many persons, trying to escape from their falling and burning houses, were caught in great clefts, which yawned suddenly in the earth, and as suddenly closed upon the victims, crushing them to death.
		In the eighth month of the year 1655, when Yedo was beginning to increase in size and importance, the Yoshiwara, preserving its name, was transplanted bodily to the spot which it now occupies at the northern end of the town.

		The decks were covered with the soft matting peculiar to the country, one of which was also placed in each berth, numbering in all fifty-four, exclusive of those appropriated for the Embassadors and higher officials, in the upper and lower cabins.

		The nobles and retired nobles in Yedo were informed that they were at liberty to state any ideas they might have on the subject, and, although they all gave their opinions, the diversity of propositions was so great that no decision was arrived at.
		And there was such a state of confusion among all classes that the governors of the city were compelled to issue a notification to the people, and this in the end had the effect of quieting the general anxiety.
		The court of Yedo had many men of intelligence, common sense and experience--men who had seen the American envoy and his squadron, equipped with all the contrivances for killing men and devastating the country.

		The journey to Yedo (undertaken by Shimadzu Saburo) was not with the object of committing murders, but to conciliate the two Courts of Yedo and Kioto, and you will, therefore, easily believe that our master (Shimadzu) could not have ordered it (the murder).
		On the other hand the insufficiency of the Yedo Government, which governs and directs everything, is shown by its neglecting to insert in the treaty (with Foreigners) the laws of the country (in respect to these matters) which have existed from ancient times.
		During the last few days, it is reported Yedo merchants have been constant victims of outrage at the hands of lawless men, and much astonishment is expressed at the noninterference of the city authorities, who simply pay no attention whatsoever to these attempts at establishing a reign of terror.

	Miyoki Kiko Hirosuko - Samurai
		Her father, Hiro Suko Todo (or Todo Hirosuko, as it would be called in more modern Japanese), was a famous Samurai warrior, and her mother a Geisha who married her father more out of gratitude than love, when he saved her brother's life in battle with the Samurai of Lord Tokirobuko.
		In a way, this fact has always haunted Miyoki; and it has driven her to strive to be the best person she can be to justify the sacrifice her mother made to give her life.
		After her mother's death, her father moved from Yedo, where he was governor under Lord Omisaka of Anjiro; and went to Anjiro castle to serve in Omisaka's elite guard.

		The rewards at the end of the year were pieces of silk, inkstones, brush-pens, paper, silver coin; and the highest, at the Chinese college in Yedo, was a robe on which the crest of the shogun was embroidered, with the privilege of always wearing the garment in public.

		Finding that the Commodore was immovable in purpose, and evidently inclined to approach nearer to Yedo, Yezaiman suddenly abandoned the previously pretended ultimatum of the Japanese commissioners, as to the place of meeting, and suggested a spot in the immediate neighborhood of the village, of Yoku-hama, directly opposite to where the ships then were anchored.
