Namamugi Incident

The Namamugi Incident (生麦事件, Namamugi Jiken) (also known sometimes as the Kanagawa Incident, and archaically as the Richardson Affair) was a samurai attack on foreign nationals in Japan on September 14, 1862, which resulted in the bombardment of Kagoshima in 1863. In Japanese the bombardment is described as a war between the United Kingdom and Satsuma Province, the so-called Anglo-Satsuma War (Satsu-Ei Senso).
