Approximately 60 to 70 pro-imperial loyalists met at the [[Teradaya]] to plot a revolt in [[Kyoto]] aimed at seizing control of the Imperial palace. Nearly 50 of these ronin conspirators hailed from Satsuma. When [[Shimazu Hisamitsu]], de facto daimyo of Satsuma and a supporter of "[[Kobu Gattai]]" (union of court and camp), caught wind of the plot, he was outraged and ordered that they be brought back to Satsuma’s residence  in Kyoto and to eliminate them if they refused.. Hisamitsu’s actions were in accordance with the edict he received from [[Emperor Komei]] ordering him to suppress Kyoto’s ronin problem.
