January 1868 CE

Yoshinobu decides on January 24 to prepare an attack on Kyoto, occupied by Satsuma and Chōshū forces.

This decision is prompted by his learning of a series of arsons in Edo, starting with the burning of the outerworks of Edo Castle, the main Tokugawa residence.

This is blamed on Satsuma ronin, who on that day had attacked a government office.
