Masao Takaki and the October Restoration

Takaki's October Restoration
was an imitation of
Japan's Meiji Restoration.
When people talk about the Meiji Restoration,
they often mistakenly believe that politics shifted
from the Shogun's Bakufu to the Emperor
and then to the civilians.
However, the main drivers of the Meiji Restoration
were the Satsuma Domain and the Choshu Domain.
A "domain" is essentially a type of warlord faction.
The notorious
Ito Hirobumi
was from the Choshu Domain.
Both the Meiji Restoration and the October Restoration
are, fundamentally,
militaristic modernization policies.
