Saigo Takamori is often described as an old type of person who failed to ride the wave of modernization after the overthrow of the Shogunate, who could not support the Seikanron (debate on subjugation of Korea), and who was scattered in the Seinan War. However, while Tomomi Iwakura, Takayoshi Kido, and Toshimichi OKUBO were visiting Europe and the United States, it was the loving and determined former retainers of the shogun who took care of the government and laid the foundation of the country which continued to the present Japan. Jealousy for their achievements made cracks in the heroic figures of the Meiji Restoration, and before long Saigo was overthrown by the scheme of Okubo-Iwakura. He was made into a Seikanron (debate on subjugation of Korea) who did not even mention it. Toshimichi OKUBO and Tomomi Iwakura who fitted Saigo, Kaoru INOUE who was full of corruption, Aritomo YAMAGATA, Takayoshi Kido and other Choshu forces, Katsu Kaishu who stole a large number of achievements and talked about the truth hidden in the history told by the winner!
