The ''[[Shoheimaru|Shôheimaru]]'', a Western-style sailing ship built in Kagoshima, sat at anchor for a time in [[1855]] just off-shore from this ''kura-yashiki''.<ref>Ishin Shiryô Kôyô 維新史料綱要, vol 2 (1937), 79.</ref>
This mansion was the site of a significant meeting between [[Saigo Takamori|Saigô Takamori]] and [[Katsu Kaishu|Katsu Kaishû]], at which Katsu presented the [[Tokugawa shogunate|Tokugawa shogunate's]] formal capitulation to Saigô, thus halting Saigô's plans to take Edo castle by force. A monument to Saigô's and Katsu's success in making the fall of Edo relatively bloodless stands today on the site.
