Okuma Shigenobu in traditional attire

Okuma Shigenobu sits on a chair, posing in front of an alcove in his residence with a cane and Western shoes. He wore a prosthesis after losing his right leg in 1889, the year after he became Minister of Foreign Affairs. Kurushima Tuneyuki of the right-wing political organization Genyosha threw a bomb at him in front of the Department of Foreign Affairs. He formed the first party cabinet in 1898 after becoming prime minister. This photograph was taken around 1907, when he became chancellor of Waseda University.==Date:1904, Place:Tokyo, Photo:Underwood, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number97‐72‐0]
