Crystalline extraction of adrenaline

Takamine Yoichi was a successful person who discovered Takadia and extracted adrenaline crystals.Takadiastase which Takamine found is a digestive enzyme, and adrenaline is used as an anaphylactic shock treatment, booster, and hemostatic agent.

He studied in England for three years from 1880, aiming to develop chemical technologies for the development of agriculture.When he returned to Korea, he worked for the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce, but the development of agriculture is not about agriculture, but about industrial development."The Meiji government allowed Gobong to do so and granted Gobong the right to do research.

Artificial fertilizer with a dramatic increase in yield

Gobong has studied artificial fertilizers and developed fertilizers that yield four or six times as much.In addition, he obtained patents for Japanese sake from various countries and developed a method of cultivating a large amount of Japanese sake using artificial fertilizer.

Revolutionized American Whiskey

American whiskey giant Trust is interested in Japanese malt and sake brewing methods and asks Takamine to visit the U.S.It's wonderful if the participating Americans drink the liquid in the test tube held by Takamine, who went to the U.S. in 1890!I can't believe it! There was a cry.Until then, malt whisky had completed its six-day brewing, but Takamine completed only in 48 hours.

Korea not teaching achievements of modernization of Japan

During the Japanese colonial era, agricultural development on the Korean Peninsula also used artificial fertilizer.The yield of agriculture has increased dramatically.This is one of the technologies that saved the Korean Peninsula from food shortages.Even if you do the No Japan movement, you should teach your children these things.You should teach children about all of them and do the No Japan movement.

POINT

The Korean Peninsula escaped hunger thanks to Japan's modernization.They don't teach children about any achievements of Japan in Korea.

The Southwest War is said to have been the subject of The movie "LAST SAMURAI" is so famous in Japan that I remember the Southwest War.As a leading figure in the Meiji Restoration, Saigo Takamori formed the Satsuma-Chou Alliance and led the imperial army to victory in the Boshin War.Satsuma's samurai families took important posts in the new government and rushed into the Meiji Restoration. It was the theory of conquest of Korea that distinguished the light from the dark.Saigo Takamori, a militant activist on the Korean Peninsula, was on the verge of starting the war while a government official went to Britain.As a result, Hirobumi Ito, who returned from England, made a strange plan, and Emperor Meiji issued an Imperial decree, and the theory of conquest of Korea was abolished . Due to this incident called the Meiji 6 political upheaval, half of the councilors, including Takamori Saigo, resigned, and about 600 military and bureaucrats resigned.It is reported that Saigo Takamori could not abandon the samurai who lost his job after the Meiji Restoration.What followed was the Southwest War.6,403 government soldiers were killed and 6,765 Saigo troops were killed.In terms of population, Saigo's army was severely damaged and the government's army won. Director Edward Zwick, who co-written the script for "LAST SAMURAI," expressed his influence on Ivan Morris's "The Noble Defeat" Chapter 9 Takamori Saigo. Takamori Saigo could not abandon the remaining samurai, so he advocated the conquest of Korea.It is said that the statue of Takamori Saigo stood in Ueno, not near the Imperial Palace, becouse of the Southwest War.

Sphinx and Nagaoki Ikeda. Samurai takes a commemorative photo of Egypt and visits the Suez Canal Mysterious group of samurai in front of the Sphinx Goes to France to apologize for Idogaya Incident The Suez Canal is a huge waterway for the colonization of Asia Edo shogunate that canceled the Paris Agreement Edo shogunate's country opening theory The first photo was taken by a samurai in front of the Sphinx in Egypt. It is often introduced as a humorous image. In the scorching heat of Egypt, wearing a crested hakama seems to convey the heat. The second photo is Nagafuku Ikeda, a foreign magistrate of the Edo Shogunate who was participating in this group. In 1863, the Idogaya Incident occurred in Japan, where three ronin, believed to be members of the Joi group, murdered a French military officer near Yokohama. A 34-person delegation, including Nagafatsu Ikeda, traveled to France to apologize and make peace with the incident. The group arrived in Paris, had an audience with Emperor Napoleon III, apologized to the French government for the incident, and paid 195,000 francs in support to the family. The 34-member delegation arrived in Cairo from Suez via India from Shanghai on their way to Paris, where they posed for a commemorative photo in front of the Sphinx. This is a picture of a samurai in front of the Sphinx. The Suez Canal is an bypass built by France to allow ships from Europe to go to Asia without passing through Cape Hope at the southern tip of Africa. Ikeda and his colleagues inspected it. Afterwards, reconciliation with France was reached in Paris, and the group, recognizing the power of Western civilization, signed the Treaty of Paris, which promised the opening of three ports, including Yokohama, as free ports. The Edo shogunate ordered a mission to negotiate the closure of Yokohama Port, but this was difficult due to French resistance. Nagafuku Ikeda, seeing the strength of Western culture, abandoned negotiations and concluded the Treaty of Paris. After returning to Japan, Nagafuku Ikeda appealed to the shogunate about the importance of opening the country, but it was not accepted, and the shogunate, which had a policy of closing ports, canceled the Treaty of Paris, and as punishment, Ikeda's stone allowance was cut in half. Although Ikeda was later forgiven and returned to politics, he soon resigned from his post and died at the age of 42. What kind of truth did Ikeda see during this trip? Ikeda Nagafuku, as a member of the Edo Shogunate, called for the opening of the country. He was a member of the shogunate, which was on the opposite side of Sakamoto Ryoma, Katsu Kaishu, and Saigo Takamori, who started the Meiji Restoration. It can be said that the scale of the Western Industrial Revolution was shocking. The Meiji Restoration side looked overseas and considered the future of Japan, but the Edo shogunate tried to maintain isolation and the shogunate system. Ikeda, who saw the West with his own eyes, felt the same feeling as the young people on the Meiji Restoration side.
