"The Barley Incident,"
On August 21, 1862, on August 21, 1862 (1862), a procession of Hisamitsu Shimazu, the father of Satsuma feudal lord, was killed by a guard samurai.

The murder of foreigners during the turbulent period of late Tokugawa shogunate developed from compensation to the Satsu British War. It had a significant impact on Japan's diplomacy since then. In 1883, Sozo Kurokawa of Tsurumi mourned Richardson's death and invested in private money to prevent the incident from weathering, and built a monument to the barley incident. A local honoring party holds a commemorative festival on August 21 every year. Registered cultural property of Yokohama City.
