In [[1840]]/11, the [[Tokugawa shogunate]] ordered that the lords of Shônai would be moved to [[Nagaoka han|Nagaoka domain]] in [[Echigo province]]. However, peasant uprisings in Shônai convinced the shogunate to retract the relocation order.

In [[1840]]/11, the [[Tokugawa shogunate]] ordered that the lords of Shônai would be transferred to [[Nagaoka han|Nagaoka domain]] in [[Echigo province]]. However, peasant uprisings in Shônai convinced the shogunate to retract the relocation order. A local [[Tsurugaoka]] innkeeper named [[Kamoya Bunji]] collected records of the anti-transfer protests and had them compiled into a set of painted scrolls entitled ''Yume no ukihashi'' (Floating Bridge of Dreams).<ref>William Wright Kelly, ''Deference and Defiance in Nineteenth-Century Japan'', Princeton University Press (2014), 101.</ref>
