A cluster of western-style factories, Shuseikan, was built to strengthen Japan’s military. Satsuma Domain’s lord, Shimazu Nariakira, began directing the project in 1851 and iron manufacturing, ship construction, textile, and glass making were run here.
At the heart of all, there was a reverberatory furnace. Today, the foundation remains in Sengan-en. Reverberatory means a facility necessary for metal refining. It was used to melt iron needed to make cannons. The facility was designed based on a Dutch technical book. Back in those days, the main fuel was charcoal, and the water essential in the process of refining was brought from Sengan-en through a channel.
Besides iron manufacture, textile, glass making, printing and other innovations were promoted to accelerate Japan’s modernization. You will witness the important remains of history.
