  • 48.1 Shoko Shuseikan 尚古集成館別館 - The end of the Edo period coincided with the appearance of ships from western powers in Japanese waters thanks to Commodore Perry’s black ships cruising into Tokyo Bay in 1853. Japan felt that it faced an external threat and so consequently Shimadzu Nariakira promoted modernization and industrialization projects in Japan on an increasingly larger scale. He did this by constructing an industrial complex near Kagoshima. These days it is not a factory but the Shoko Shuseikan Museum.
