Background

Tamaki Bunnoshin, the uncle of Yoshida Shōin, was a strict teacher and mentor who played a crucial role in shaping Shōin’s early intellectual development. His residence is sometimes referred to as the ‘birthplace’ of the Shōka Sonjuku, as he gathered local children there for lessons before Shōin later established his own academy. Tamaki continued teaching through Shōin’s era and even after his execution in 1859. However, following the Hagi Rebellion of 1876, in which many of his former students participated, Tamaki felt a deep sense of responsibility and took his own life that same year.
