Description: The Sakai incident (堺事件, Sakai Jiken) was a diplomatic incident that occurred on March 8, 1868, in Bakumatsu period Japan. Unruly French sailors were on shore leave from the French corvette Dupleix in the port of Sakai near Osaka, Japan. Their unruliness instigated a conflict with local samurai which turned violent. This resulted in the deaths of 11 French sailors by samurai of the Tosa Domain. It was one of three major diplomatic incidents (including the Kōbe incident and the Parkes incident) involving attacks on foreigners in Japan in 1868.
