Counting compensation money for murder of Mr Richardson

Sketches in Japan: Counting the compensation money for the murder of Mr Richardson. Charles Lennox Richardson was a Yokohama based merchant who was killed by a large armed retinue of Shimazu Hisamitsu, the regent and father of Shimazu Tadayoshi, the daimyo of Satsuma. The Namamugi Incident, (also known sometimes as the Kanagawa Incident, and as the Richardson Affair) was a samurai assault on foreign nationals in Japan on September 14, 1862, which resulted in the August 1863 bombardment of Kagoshima, during the Late Tokugawa shogunate. In Japanese the bombardment is described as a war between the United Kingdom and Satsuma domain, the Anglo-Satsuma War. The picture shows the Japanese paying out compensation in the aftermath of the war
