Peter Duus wrote about the ambivalence of contemporary historians towards this period, which saw the publication of the Rescript on Education and abolished the han system. The Mito school of a certain religion became popular after this event, and this period saw a revolt ended by the Battle of Shiroyama that was led by Saigo Takamori.
