Provenance:
Collection of Yoshisada Kitamura, Himeji
Yoshisada Kitamura (1838-1899), the son of a farmer in the village of Ogawa, in the district of Harimakashikihigashi, studied under Matajiro Otaka and got heavily involved in the anti-Shogunate movement. He was active in several military incidents against the Shogunate. After the Meiji restoration, he served the Meiji government as a local official in the Himeji domain.
Kameyama Unpei was a Confucian scholar, a Shinto priest, an educator, and a feudal vassal of the Himeji-clan. As a young man, he was a student at Shoheizaka Gakumonjo in Edo, where he was instructed by Shoheiko. After that, he served the Tokugawa Shogunate, and after the Meiji restoration, he was called 'Harima-saint' for teaching young men at Kankai Kodo in Nada, Himeji City.
