Nisshin Shinjishi - Nisshin Shinjishi

Japanese: 日新真事誌 - にっしんしんじし

A Japanese newspaper founded in Tokyo in March 1872 by the Englishman JR Black. The Portuguese da Rosa, who was fluent in Japanese, assisted in the editing. It was initially published every other day, but from April it was closed on the 1st and 6th of each month. At first it was a newspaper for the "Left House" that carried the proceedings, bills, and petitions of the Left House, but as it was run by foreigners with extraterritorial rights, it gradually became more critical of the government. In May 1873, it published financial opinions by Inoue Kaoru and Shibusawa Eiichi, and in January 1874, it was one of the first newspapers to publish a petition for the establishment of a popularly elected parliament by Itagaki Taisuke and others, and from that time on it became a representative newspaper for the civil rights movement. In January 1875, the government hired Black to the Left House on the condition that he give up running the newspaper, and in June it promulgated the Newspaper Ordinance, banning foreigners from running newspapers, and fired Black shortly thereafter. After Black withdrew from the magazine, Nisshin Shinjishi quickly lost its influence and ceased publication at the end of 1975 after the 265th issue.

イギリス人 J.R.ブラックが明治5 (1872) 年3月東京で創刊した日本語の新聞。日本語の巧みだったポルトガル人ダ・ローザが編集に協力した。初め隔日刊，4月から1，6の日が休刊になった。初めは左院の議事，議案，建白書を掲載する「左院御用」の新聞であったが，治外法権をもつ外人経営だったところから次第に政府批判の色を濃くした。 1873年5月には井上馨，渋沢栄一の財政意見書を，また 74年1月には板垣退助らの民撰議院設立建白書をいちはやく掲載し，その頃から民権派の新聞の代表格になった。政府は，75年1月新聞経営の放棄を条件にしてブラックを左院に雇い，6月に新聞紙条例を公布して外人による新聞経営を禁止したうえで，その直後にブラックを解雇した。ブラックが手をひいたのちの『日新真事誌』はたちまち勢力を失い，75年末に 265号で廃刊した。
