Teradaya incident

The Teradaya Incident is the name used for two clashes between samurai during the bakumatsu period. Both of them took place in Teradaya, a ryokan inn in Fushimi, south of Kyōto. The first one, in May 1862 (also called the Teradaya Disturbance), was the suppression of Sonnō-jōi followers of the Satsuma domain; it was the first armed rebellion against the shogunate. The second one, in March 1866, was a failed attack on Sakamoto Ryōma; it became a popular subject of Japanese books and films.
