Kokan was a Japanese farmer who lived in the hills of Aizu.
Biography[]
At some point in his life, Kokan owed a substantial debt to Shiba Tanomo, one of Aizu's samurai. In 1867, when Tanomo and his children were invited to daimyo Matsudaira Katamori's home, he asked Kokan for a prize cow as a gift. Thus, Kokan and Tanomo agreed on a price while he waited for Tanomo's children Shiba Atsuko and Shiba Ibuka to come and pay for his cow. However, although the kids arrived late, he received the payment and stated to them that his cow is the first part of his debt. When Ibuka and Atsuko asked for more information, he stated it was late and that their father would tell them. Thus, Kokan sadly bid farewell to his prize cow and Tanomo's children.[1]
