Hardly a century and a half have passed since\nthe Boshin Civil War of 1868-69 toppled the shogunate and closed the chapter on\nJapanese feudalism. Now, one of the places Tokyoites and visitors to the\ncapital can learn about this dramatic period of Japanese history is the\nHino-shuku Waki Honjin, a building which played a unique role in preserving\nJapan\u2019s samurai past for generations to come. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Hino-shuku Waki Honjin, a historic building in the city of Hino in Tokyo, was designated as cultural property by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government in March, 2010. It was constructed after a fire on Jan. 18, 1849 burned two important local facilities: Hino\u2019s <em>honjin<\/em> and its <em>waki<\/em> (\u201csubsidiary\u201d) <em>honjin<\/em>. <em>Honjin<\/em>, special high-class inns, had a big job in the feudal Edo period. Dotted along Japan\u2019s five major land routes in rest stop towns called <em>shukuba<\/em>, <em>honjin<\/em> provided accommodations to lords and government officials traveling to and from the shogunate capital, Edo (modern Tokyo).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"790\" src=\"\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/34de962b459a29897d9ef15103f537a4.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1957\"\/><figcaption>Hino-shuku Waki Honjin as seen from the front<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Through the 1850\u2019s and early 1860\u2019s, a replacement for Hino\u2019s burned <em>honjin<\/em> was built over the <em>waki honjin<\/em>\u2019s remains. It was used thereafter as the area\u2019s primary <em>honjin<\/em>, so it is typically referred to as the Hino-shuku Honjin without the <em>waki<\/em> designation. In the Edo period, Hino was one of 44 <em>shukuba<\/em> along the Koshu Kaido route. Now, <em>honjin<\/em> remain in only three of the towns. Additionally, the Hino-shuku Waki Honjin is the only <em>honjin<\/em> still standing in Tokyo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The renovated honjin welcomed many distinguished guests, including Emperor Meiji in 1880, but it is best known for a group of seemingly more modest visitors \u2013 the users of a <em>dojo<\/em> located on the honjin property. Sato Hikogoro, chief of Hino-shuku and owner of the Hino-shuku Waki Honjin, took self-defense very seriously. After the 1849 fire, he enrolled in the Tennen Rishin Ryu school of sword-fighting and consequently opened a <em>dojo<\/em> training hall at his home, the new <em>honjin<\/em>. The Sato Dojo\u2019s users included several men who would go down in history as founding members of one of Japan\u2019s last samurai corps, the Shinsengumi. They included Shinsengumi Commander Kondo Isami, Vice-commanders Hijikata Toshizo and Sannan Keisuke, and Captains of the First and Sixth troops Okita Soji and Inoue Genzaburo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"790\" src=\"\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/99ffc84dfa184ee468ce308eac7ea0e8-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1958\"\/><figcaption>The interior<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 1863, the shogun contacted\nsword-fighting schools around Edo to recruit bodyguards for a trip to Kyoto, and\nmany Sato Dojo users responded. Upon arrival in Kyoto, Kondo and several other\nbodyguards formed the Shinsengumi, Kyoto\u2019s special samurai police force. When\nthe first battle of the Boshin Civil War broke out in Kyoto in 1868, the\nShinsengumi joined the fray.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All the while, Sato remotely\nsupported the Shinsengumi as a major financial backer from his home at the\nHino-shuku Waki Honjin. He had personal ties with a number of the group\u2019s\nmembers as Tennen Rishin Ryu peers and, in Hijikata\u2019s case, as family. He especially\nkept in touch with Hijikata and Kondo, who sent him souvenirs and letters\nexplaining Shinsengumi affairs and the political state of Kyoto. These\ncorrespondences have provided historians with invaluable information about the\nShinsengumi\u2019s internal workings. It is also believed that Hijikata sent his\nphotograph to the Hino-shuku Waki Honjin before the battle he correctly\npredicted would be his last. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"790\" src=\"\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/81dccf1a939e57dbaca8e3a4f941d2dc.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1962\"\/><figcaption>Decorative rabbit nail cover over a door frame <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many of the artifacts originally sent to Sato and the Hino-shuku Waki Honjin remain in Hino, carefully preserved in the city\u2019s handful of historical museums. Several can be found at the nearby Sato Hikogoro and Shinsengumi Museum run by Sato Fukuko, a descendant of Sato Hikogoro. Others can be seen on display at the Shinsengumi Furusato Historical Museum, which also maintains the <em>honjin<\/em> itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to its historical significance, the Hino-shuku Waki Honjin is also a place for locals to celebrate Japanese culture the good old fashioned way; the Edo structure serves as a venue for various traditional calendar events. One example is <em>Hina-matsuri<\/em>, when the <em>honjin<\/em> hosts an exhibition of <em>Hina<\/em> dolls, and community members gather to teach visitors about the holiday, its history, and local traditions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"790\" src=\"\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/75f16c54d66b50acd45753204572b2bb.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1959\"\/><figcaption>Hina-doll exhibition<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Hino-shuku Waki Honjin is\nopen to the general public year-round, and offers complementary tours in\nJapanese with admission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align:right\">\n\n(Photos courtesy of Linnea Willing)\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align:right\">\n\n (Cooperation: <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/www.clair.or.jp\/e\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\">Council of Local Authorities for International Relations<\/a>)  \n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"writer-profile\">\n  <div class=\"profile\">\n    <div class=\"pic\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/64d35eb44f1e460a288ef37a37e73c0d.jpg\"><\/div>\n    <div class=\"txt\">\n        <p>Profile<\/p>\n        <p class=\"name\">Linnea Willing<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n  <p class=\"profile-txt\">Linnea is a Southern Californian currently living in Tokyo, where she works as Hino city\u2019s Coordinator for International Relations.
