The life of Kiyokawa Hachirô

Kiyokawa Hachirô was born in Kiyokawa village in Shonai han as a son of a Gôshi (rural Samurai). Disinterested in his family's Sake brewing business, he travelled to Edo where he studied under Tojo Ichido and Azumi Ryosai, and he also received a Menkyo of Hokushin Itto Ryu at Genbukan.

In 1855 he opened the Kiyokawa school. It was the only school in Edo that offered both study and Kenjutsu. He was a confucian scholar, and an ardent opponent of the Tokugawa bakufu, and he used his school as a platform for his views.

While in Edo, he killed a man in the street because of a perceived slight, and was forced to leave Edo or face arrest. From March to September 1855, he traveled to many places in Honshu and wrote the book "Saiyu so".

After the Incident at Sakuradamon, the Kiyokawa school became a meeting place for the Sonjo Roshi, and they formed the "Torao party" which assassinated Henry Heusken.

In 1862, Kiyokawa submitted the "Three emergency measures" to Matsudaira Shungaku. Matsudaira took this plan and created the Roshigumi.

In February, 1864 in Mibu, Kyoto, Kiyokawa suddenly changed the purpose of the Roshigumi and made all but 19 people return to Edo. Those who decided to remain Kyoto included Kondo Isami, Hijikata Toshizo, Serizawa Kamo who later founded the Shinsengumi.

In April, Kiyokawa was assassinated by Bakufu assassins( including Sasaki Tadasaburô) in Azabu.
