Season 3 Episode 14: September 24, 1877 - The Battle of Shiroyama

On September 24, 1877, the Imperial Japanese Army defeated the last samurai who had revolted against the forced modernization desired by Emperor Meiji. The portrayal of the battle and its protagonists is often reduced to an opposition between an archaic Japan and Western modernity. However, the story is much more complex.
