The arrival of Western nations into Japan since Commodore Perrys visit marked the

beginning of the fall of the Tokugawa Bakufu government. The anti-Bakufu regimes

contested as their disappointment towards Bakufu who simply threw Japans pride and

allowed foreigners to enter Japan. The regime carried out various forms of resistance by

the slogan sonno-joi against foreign parties. Over time and the awareness of the more

developed foreign powers compared to Japan, the practice of sonno-joi changed its

purpose to become a movement to overthrow the Tokugawa Bakufu so that political

power could be returned to the Emperor. This final project will explain how the practice

of sonnoi-joi underwent changes starting from the entry of foreign nations to their

involvement in various anti-foreign conflicts and the overthrow Tokugawa movement.
