In this chapter, which covers the months between the end of 1858 and the spring of 1859, the small world of Kurosawa Tokiko comes within full sight of large-scale history. A series of portents and fateful encounters alerted her to the ongoing crisis and made it unavoidable for a base-born woman to step out of her microcosm and become politically involved.

Keywords:   portents, comet, Emperor Kōmei, Ansei Purges, Tokugawa Nariaki, Koibuchi Kaname, gender, geopolitics
