A CAUSEWAY leads to the enclosure bounding the Tycoon’s palace grounds, and there is an imposing gateway, flanked on either side by buildings which form a courtyard; over the gates, in copper enamel, is the crest of the owner—an orange on a branch with three leaves.
It was near this spot that the Gotairo, or Regent of the Empire, was set upon and assassinated by a band of ruffians, in broad daylight, on the 24th March 1860; and although surrounded by his own retainers, and in his own norimon, Iko-mono-no-kami (the Gotairo) was not only killed but his head was carried off by an assailant before he could be arrested.
