The Japanese statesman whose wise and vigorous statesman- ship led to the opening of .Japan to foreign na- tions, and the establishment of friendly rela- tions with them.

In 18.50 he was made heir to the baronetcy, assum- ing the highly honorable title of Kamon no Kami, which gave him standing at the Mikado's court. In 1853 the question of foreign intercourse, pre- cipitated by Commodore Perry, divided the opin- ions of the daimios. Although he shared with many a feeling of hatred toward foreigners, li drew a line of distinction between personal feelings and • national interests, and declared himself to be in favor of intercourse with foreigners, and of a re- vival of the military spirit for national defense. The Shogun lycsaila In-ing childless and in poor health, the question of appointing an heir adiU'd to the complication of the |H"riod. Pressed by Townsend Harris (q.v. ) to sign the treaty whiili he had negotiated, and which the Court in Kioto opposed, tile Shogun had to face a crisis which ad- mitteil of no delay.

British, and French after their victorious campaign in Cliina. he signed the liberal treaty drawn up by the Iniled States Minister. The treaty with (Jreat Britain followed on August 20th and that with France on (Ictoljer 9lh. The great daimios of Mito, Owari, and Echizen, however, opposed bis nomine<- to the shogunate, the two former daimios wishing also to ha»e Echizen made regent. On the outbreak of the long-gathering storm of op[>osition, li crushed his enemies with a .strong hand, and dispatched an embassy to the United States to ratify the treaty. Among other triumphs he had the Prin- cess Kazu, aunt of the present Emperor, be- trothed in marriage to the young Shogun. and they were married in Yedo in ISO). Before this, on the 23d of March. 1801. a snowy day. while on his way in his ]>alanquin with a large fol- lowing of bodyguards to the palace in Ye<lo, they were attacked by a band of eighteen assassins, seventeen from Mito, one from Satsuma, all of them Ronins. lu the fight which ensued Baron li himself was stabbed, and his head cut off and carried away to the castle town of Mito, and there exposed on a pole.
