The Japanese nearly invaded Korea again in 1873, funnily enough, for the same reason. Saigo Takamori saw it as an opportunity for the thousands of newly-unseated samurai to find honourable work (or death). When the government failed to take Toyotomi's lesson and refused, he revolted instead and found an end for the samurai at Shiroyama.
