Sanj\u014d Sanetomi (1837\u201391) was a Japanese Imperial court noble and politician of the late Edo and Meiji periods. He was a central figure during the pro-Emperor, anti-Tokugawa movement to expel the barbarians, but was eventually ousted from the Imperial Court in 1863 in the coup d\u2019\u00e9tat of September 30, and spent several years exiled in Ch\u014dsh\u016b (present-day Yamaguchi Prefecture). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
After the Meiji restoration, Sanj\u014d served in the Meiji government in various capacities, including as Grand Minister and Minister of the Interior. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
On September 18th 1876, Sanj\u014d Sanetomi, Yamagata Aritomo, and It\u014d Hirobumi visited Sakata City. Sanj\u014d stayed at Seienkaku, the Homma family villa. This piece is a waka poem he composed and presented to the Homma family after enjoying the view of Mount Ch\u014dkai from the garden. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
