Keian Uprising
The Keian Uprising (慶安事件, Keian Jiken) was a failed coup d'etat attempt carried out against the Tokugawa shogunate of Japan, in 1651, by a number of ronin. Though it failed, the event is historically significant as an indication of a wider problem of disgruntled ronin throughout the country at the time.
