Namamugi Incident (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Four British subjects (a Shanghai merchant named Charles Lennox Richardson, two other Yokohama-based merchants, Woodthorpe Charles Clark and William Marshall, and Mrs. Margaret Watson Borradaile) were travelling for a jaunt on the T kaid road through the village of Namamugi (now part of Tsurumi ward, Yokohama) en route to Kawasaki Daishi temple in present-day Kawasaki. The party had departed the treaty port of Yokohama at 2.30 pm by boat, crossing Yokohama harbour to Kanagawa village, to meet up with their horses, which had been sent ahead.
