Namamugi Incident
By mid-1863, the British had become impatient that the reparations demands for the Namamugi Incident were still unmet. In July, the "Bakufu" reluctantly paid the British the sum of £100,000 (one-third of their annual revenue) in compensation, though this was mainly due to fear of naval bombardment against the Tokugawa capital city of Edo. The Satsuma Domain continued to ignore the British demands and refused to apologize for Richardson's death.
