This is the most advanced iPad we've made by a long shot. 

It's a 12.9-inch Retina display. It's our A9X third-generation 64-bit chip. It has a four-speaker audio system, ten-hour all-day battery life. If has an iSight camera and FaceTime camera, it has wi-fi networking and of course our Touch ID all built in. 

It's made in an environmentally friendly as possible, mercury-free LED-backlit display, arsenic free display glass, BFR free, beryllium free, PVC free, and of course, that glass is highly recyclable.



The new iPad Pro comes in three finishes, silver, gold, and space gray. I know right now you are just thinking how much does it cost, because I want one. 

The new iPad Pro starts at just $799. That's with 32gigs of memory. For 128 gigs, it's $150 more. And there's a configuration with 128 gigs and LTE networking. 


(Applause)


The new iPad Pencil, $99, and the Smart Keyboard, $169. They will all be available starting in November. 


(Applause)


There has never been a product anything like iPad Pro before. We are so excited about it that we've created a video to tell you a little bit more about it.



Jony Ive

With its scale and with the way you use it, iPad has always been uniquely immersive. To amplify this, to put it on a much larger scale, we designed iPad Pro.

It begins with a 12.9-inch Retina display on an iPad that remains remarkably thin and light. With 78% more screen area, iPad Pro not only transforms your viewing experience, it enables new ways of creating and sharing.

To give Multi-Touch a greater level of precision, we completely reengineered the Touch subsystem, increasing the sensitivity of the sensors and doubling the touch refresh rate. It's actually the most advanced display we've made, and with 5.6 million pixels, it has the highest resolution of any iOS device



This is the first iPad to automatically adjust the number of times display is refreshed depending upon what's on the screen. This leads to greater energy efficiency and the all-day battery life you'd expect. 

Driving its high level of performance is the powerful A9X. It was specifically designed for iPad Pro and to meet the demands of a much larger display. Its size lets you do and see more. And its precise Multi-Touch technology allows for new forms of input while enhancing the capabilities of iOS 9



To produce a rich audio experience within this device's thin profile, we've developed an entirely new four-speaker architecture. 

For the first time, the speaker housing is machined directly into the unibody enclosure and sealed with a carbon fiber cap. Its four speakers give iPad Pro a powerful acoustic output and dynamic range that far surpasses its size. 

With people using iPad in more and in different ways, we wanted to enhance its flexibility. To do this, we've developed a new technology.Its magnetic contacts relay both power and data bidirectionally. So you can easily connect compatible accessories without the need for Bluetooth or batteries. 



iPad Pro enables tools and interactions that just haven't been possible before. iPad continues to transform the way we do things. Our goal in designing iPad Pro was to engineer a device that allows you to be more productive, more creative, at an entirely new scale.


(Applause)



Phil Schiller

That is the new iPad Pro, and we could not be more excited about it. It's the flagship in our iPad line. Starting today, this is what the iPad lineup looks like. We've now moved iPad mini 2 down to become our entry-level iPad at a new lower price, just $269

Above it is the brand-new iPad mini 4 that we are also launching today. So what's the iPad mini 4? Well, simply, we've taken the power and performance of iPad Air 2 and built it into an even smaller mini enclosure. It's just .65 pounds, powerful and yet small and light.

iPad Air starts at $399, and the iPad Pro at $799



So that's our new about iPad.

Thank you very much.


(Cheers and applause)

Kirk Koenigsba
Microsoft

Than you. It's a thrill to be hare today. At Microsoft, we're focused on reinventing productivity to help people do their best work anywhere they are working. 

And today more than ever, we are supporting Microsoft Office on Apple platforms. I'd like to introduce Han-yi, who I going to walk us through some cool demos .

Up on the screen, you'll see a beautiful. Microsoft Word document on the gorgeous new iPad Pro. Now, with the Office iPad, we want to make it easy for anyone to create rich content and documents using Touch



So watch a quick example here. We can just, with a few quick taps, take this table, add styles, and turin it into a really great document. 

Now, we want to extend this richness with the new iPad Pro with Ink, so we can allow anyone to markup or annotate their documents and collaborate with others. 

So if you look underneath the ribbon, you will see we have a variety of new pen tools. There's different pens and pencils. One is a highlighter. You see this fabulous new color wheel so you can pick just the color you want and a new thickness control so you can get the point you need.

Watch as we can use the Apple Pencil and circle items in our document. We can strike through, we can add suggestions, and we can write in the margins. And you will see it's also great for maltilingual usage too. 

Now, because Office is built for teamwork, all of these changes are stored in the document itself and can be viewed on any Microsoft Office application on any device.



Now, the next thing we want to do is add a chart to our document, so we've started the chart in Excel. So we'll take advantage of iOS 9's multitasking capabilities. With a quick swipe, we can have both Word and Excel on the screen at the same time.

Now, for Office, the document is king, so having these two applications side by side is a huge productivity boost and allows us to do things like copy and paste this chart that you see and put it into Microsoft Word.



Now, let's finish up our PowerPoint presentation that goes along with this document that we're working on, and once again, we'll use iOS 9's multitasking capabilities, have both apps up on the screen at the same time, and we can copy this chart also into our PowerPoint presentation to finish it up.

Now, just like Word, just like Excel, PowerPoint has great support for the Apple Pencil and for Ink, and so watch as we can go ahead and draw some shapes here on our slide, and they're converted automatically to graphic objects. 


(Applause)


Let's take this to the next level. We'll if to this slide. You see it has just a simple list. We want to turn this into a high-impact diagram. We can use the Apple Pencil or just touch.

Here we will just use Touch, and watch as we draw three circles, and you will see that PowerPoint converts them automatically into shapes. Now, we'll support shape recognition for over 20 different object types, so you can take your hand-drawn art and annotations and convert them into professional-looking content.

So this is the new Microsoft Office on the new iPad, and at Microsoft, we really believe that bringing together the iPad Pro with Microsoft Office, the Ink, the multitasking capabilities will really transform the way people work on these kinds of devices. 

Thank you very much.


(Applause)



Phil Schiller

Next, we'd like to see what it's like for creative professionals to use iPad Pro in their workflow, and who knows better about creative workflows than our good friends at Adobe?

Adobe has been doing incredible things on iPad with Creative Cloud mobile apps, and now on iPad Pro, they are working on a brand-new suite of applications that's incredibly powerful and can do amazing things. 

So I am very excited to bring out the Director of Design for Mobile Apps at Adobe, Eric Snowden.


(Applause)



Eric Snowden
Adobe

Thank you so much. I am really excited to show you three different Adobe applications all working together on the iPad Pro.

The first of which is Adobe Comp. And Comp is a design tool that's as easy to use as drawing on a napkin. So by creating an X on the left-hand side of the screen, I am creating an image place hold holder. We have gestures for headline copy and body copy. You can quickly lay out a rough design. These elements are temporarily grouped together so I can adjust them as a group. 

So I have gone from nothing to a rough wireframe in about 15 seconds. From there I want to add real fonts, make this a little bit more high fidelity. This is the first time on a mobile device we've given access to typekit fonts. We have over a thousand fonts available.

So I am going to go ahead and select this headline text, and I am going to change my copy to be Ruby Red, which is the theme for this design. And I am going to apply some styles to my body copy as well, a simple gesture to copy styles from other objects. And I lastly, I want to add a  photo from my camera roll. 



So I've a rough design here. I am pretty happy with it. But I am not quite happy with the model's smile. I wish she had just a little bit more of a smile. I think it would warm up the design quite a bit. But luckily we have an app for that.

So I am going to go into multitasking mode, and multitasking is amazing on the new iPad Pro, side by side, it's like having two screens. I am going to send this image from Comp into a brand-new application called Adobe Photoshop Fix.

And Fix is a product we are announcing today. It's a member of the Photoshop family for retouching, and it's insanely fast on the new iPad, can process up to 50 megapixels images very fast and has all the features you would expect from an app in the Microsoft family, but we've built facial detection into the retouching engine.

If I select the model's lips, for example, I can isolate those and just give her just a little bit more of a smile.


(Applause)


Then I can send that change back to Comp. So for the last app, I am going to open up Adobe Photoshop Sketch, which is our painting and drawing application.

With Sketch, we've tuned it to work with the iPad. With our new tool, if you lay the pencil on the side, you are laying down more water and less pigment. If I hold it up right and press down harder, I am laying more ink and less water. I can click this button here to dry that. 

I am going to go ahead and copy this, close out of multitasking. Then paste this back into my Comp document. So with a couple other small tweaks, finish up this design, and it looks pretty good. I went from a blank page to a design in just a few minutes using three different applications together. 

But I think the most impressive thing out of all this is all this work is nondestructive, so at any point if I put three fingers down on the screen, I can scrub back on my history back to my blank document and then all the way back to my final design. 


(Applause)


So you never have to worry about making a mistake or losing your work. It's all safe here. 

So that was Adobe Comp, Photoshop Fix, and Photoshop Sketch. We are making tools powerful enough for professionals and easy enough for anyone to use. This is only available on the iPad and will be shipping in October.

Thank you.


(Applause)



Phil Schiller

For the last demo, we wanted to show you something that really requires the incredible performance of graphics for the iPad Pro and an application that's pretty amazing. It's an application that helps to visualize human anatomy and assists doctors, patients, and students in medical school.

To show you this incredible new application and how it runs in iPad Pro, I am very excited to I think about up the Head of Design at 3D4Medical, Irene Walsh.

Irene?


(Applause)



Irene Walsh
3D4Medical


Thank you.

In the average medical consultation, the patient is with a doctor for just seven minutes, and they only recall 14% of the information they receive. At 3D4Medical, we believe that clear understanding between doctors and patients leads to better healthcare and ultimately to better patient outcomes. I am excited to show you how with the new iPad Pro, our Complete Anatomy series has bridged that communication gap. 

Let's imagine I am a doctor. I am speaking with my patient about their injured knee. I can zoom right into the knee area to show them more about the bones at work here. The incredible CPU and increased memory of the new iPad Pro mean that I am now seeing these textures at double the resolution of previous versions. And with the Polly count of our mesh also doubled, I am experiencing new levels of medical accuracy.

Now let's turn on some muscles, and we can see how thy interact with the skeleton to create movement. The quadriceps you see here are being animated in real time at 60 frames per second. Just imagine how groundbreaking this will be for physical therapy patients in understanding and visualizing their treatments. This motion is fully controlled by me, and it's seamlessly rendered by the new iPad Pro.



To get a little context, I can turn on the skin there to help orientate. We have taken full advantage of the Apple Pencil by introducing unique cutting and drawing tools to our app. As a medical student, for the first time, I will be able to edit the model rapidly and with pinpoint position. 

I can cut through the layer of anatomy to reveal the relationships between structures and even simulate surgical procedures. As a trained physician, I'll use Complete Anatomy to educate my patient on their condition .



So let's say my patient presents with a torn meniscus. I can bring up a preset view of the knee area to highlight the relevant structures. Then to make the injury more specific to my patient, I can take the Apple Pencil and make a precise tear on the meniscus directly on the model. 

I can then show my patient their particular injury in 3D. Using the pressure sensitive technology, I can model the effects of arthritis, varying the size and frequency of bone spurs according to the force that I apply.


(Applause)


I can even annotate while still in the 3D environment using our pen tool to draw directly on the model. Or using our automatic labeling function. What's really great about this is that I can actually share this exact 3D model with my patient and record a consultation for them to refer to in Complete Anatomy on their own iPad

We believe that the new iPad Pro and our Complete Anatomy series will transform the way doctors and patients communicate, increasing medical understanding and improving patient care from remote villages to the top hospitals and universities in the world.

Thank you.


(Applause)



Phil Schiller

Now you've seen the kind of applications that can run on iPad Pro. They are truly transformative...

Phil Schiller

But the story doesn't stop there. Let's go back to that software keyboard. It's great keyboard. It Dynamically changes as we use different applications. It's how most of us will type on our iPad Pro. But because we are enabling applications not possible before in an iPad, sometimes you'd like the convenience of a physical keyboard.

So we are very excited to tell you about a brand-new accessary just for iPad Pro, and it's called the Smart Keyboard.

(Applause)

This is unlike any keyboard you've ever used before. It's covered in an Apple woven fabric. That fabric creates the cover but also forms the structure and the feel of those keys, and they feel really great to type on. Inside is a new Apple dome switch that we pioneered with the MacBook, and it works beautifully in this great new Smart Keyboard.

So how do you attach or connect the Smart Keyboard to your iPad Pro? Well, if you look closely, there are three new circles along the side of the iPad Pro. This is a brand-new connector technology. We call it the Smart Connector. It carries power and data and connects magnetically to the Smart Keyboard. So when you want to attach your iPad to the keyboard, you just slide it on it.

And the software in iOS 9 automatically adapts and changes because it knows you want to use the physical keyboard versus the soft keyboard. So that's the new Smart Keyboard, designed specifically for the iPad Pro.

(Applause)

So that's typing. Let's talk about drawing and illustration. works of art, drawing on their iPads with their fingers. iPad is all about Multi-Touch, and we will continue to use our hands to interact in amazing ways on iPad. But iPad Pro is going to enable new classes of applications that require even greater precision than ever possible before, a new level of precision and accuracy that requires some amazing innovation.

So we're so happy to introduce to you another brand-new accessory specifically for iPad Pro, and it looks like this.

(Cheers and applauses)

It's called Apple Pencil.

(Laughter)

And this Apple Pencil is packed with so much new amazing technology. We have a great video to tell you all about it now.



Jony Ive:

Touch, of course, is the primary method of interaction with iPad. To enhance what's possible with Multi-Touch and to allow for a new level of precision with iPad Pro, we've designed Apple Pencil

This began by reengineering the Touch subsystem of the display to measure both finger and stylus input on the same plane with optimal accuracy. When you are using the pencil, the system scans twice as of often, allowing iPad Pro to capture more points in a single stroke. 

Highly responsive sensors built into the tip of Apple Pencil work with the iPad Pro display to detect position, force, and tilt. With Force Data, you can press lightly to get a thin stroke or press harder to get a darker, bolder stroke. Signals emitted from two locations in the typical calculate the angle and orientation to produce broad or shaded strokes. 

Its unique tip signature allows it to be used simultaneously with your finger. And with incredibly low latency, it has a responsiveness that feels like a true writing or drawing instrument. While its battery lasts for hours of use, a Lightning connector lets you recharge by plugging directly into iPad Pro

Apple Pencil is designed to look and feel like a familiar tool. Yet with its carefully engineered technology, working with or most advanced Multi-Touch display, it delivers something extraordinary, precision that actually gives you the ability to touch a single pixel. 

(Cheers and applause)



Phil Schiller

This Apple Pencil absolutely amazing, and to get that level of low latency so it feels like you are drawing directly on the display took an incredible effort of collaboration between our hardware, software, and design teams. And they're done a remarkable job. 

Customers are going to feel it every time they use it. They can use it within built-in apps in iOS, like our new Notes app, where you can draw and diagram directly with Apple Pencil. Or in Mail, where now with our new Markup feature, when someone sends you an at attachment, you can draw and markup, write on that at attachment, and send it on to them.

You are going to see new applications from developers that have created features that take full advantage of this huge iPad Pro display, all its power, and most of all, Apple Pencil. Like Procreate, an incredible fine art illustration and drawing application that just comes alive on iPad Pro.

And applications we've not seen before, like this, it's called UMake, designed specifically  for iPad and takes full advantage of that display and that incredible Apple Pencil.



Apple Pencil is one of the most advanced technologies we've ever created in a simple, beautiful form. And we've been lucky enough to have a few developers come in and take a look at the new iPad Pro and Apple Pencil and see what's possible with this incredible new technology. 

So we'd like to do a few demos, and to begin with, it would be great to have a developer come and show us what's possible with professional productivity, and who to know better about productivity than Microsoft

Yeah. These Guys know productivity.

(Applause)

So I am extremely pleased to introduce Corporate Vice President for Microsoft Office, Kirk Koenigsbauer

Kirk?

(Applause)



Kirk Koenigsbauer

Thank you. It's thrill to be here today. 

At Microsoft, we're focused on ...

Tim cook
Apple CEO

iPad is the clearest expression of our vision of the future of the personal computing. A simple multi piece of glass that instantly transforms into virtually anything that you want it to be. In just five years, iPad has transformed the way we create, the way we learn, and the way we work.

We are partnering with the world's leading enterprise companies, IBM and Cisco, to redefine and transform the way people work in the enterprise. As we brought more and more capability and more and more power to the iPad, we've been amazed at the new and unexpected things that our customers have done with the iPad.

So we asked ourselves how could we take iPad even further. Today we have the the biggest news in iPad since iPad!

(Cheers and applause)

And I am thrilled to show it to you.

(Cheers and applause)

This is the iPad Pro

It's the most capable and powerful iPad we've ever created. It is chocked full of amazing advanced technologies and innovation. To tell you all about it, I'd like to invite Phil Schiller up. Phil?

(Applause)



Phil Schiller

Thank you, Tim. Good morning, everyone! 

(Cheers and applause)

Thank you. I am so excited to tell you about this incredible new iPad Pro. It has a huge screen, the biggest we've ever built in an iOS device. It has more power and performance than any iOS device we've ever made either.

Let's start with that display. Why make an iPad with a bigger display? With a larger display, think about the iPad from the very beginning. It's a magical piece of glass you hold in your hands, and you can touch the software. You can touch the webpages we surf. We can touch the books we read and the documents we create. 

And it can do things that a smartphone can't do because it doesn't have to fit in your pocket. And it's thin and light enough to hold all day long so it can do things that a notebook can't do. So with a bigger screen iPad, your TV shows and movies are more cinematic. The games we play are more immersive and powerful. 

And an iPad is always a Multi-Touch device, so now with a bigger iPad Pro, you can have a full-size software keyboard, so you can type in your documents with this great, big keyboard. And keyboards can do many things, like be an amazing musical instrument. Yeah, somebody likes music.





We can do something on an iPad that you can't do on a notebook. The new multitasking features in iOS9, Slide Over, Split View, Picture in Picture, were designed with this iPad Pro in mind. They make it so much more productive and capable.

So how big is the screen on the iPad Pro? It's 12.9 inches on that diagonal. Why 12.9 inches? Well, here, let me tell you little secret about its size. Let's put next to it our previous largest iPad, that's iPad Air 2. If you look at the width of the iPad Pro, it is the same as the height of the iPad Air

(Applause)

And then we take that height, and we make a 4 by 3 ratio. Now you have an iPad big enough to run your full iPad Air apps with more room side by side. It is an incredible display. It is 2732 by 2048 pixels. Do the math, it's 5.6 million pixels. Far more than on any iOS device before. In fact, that's even more pixels than a 15-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display. It is a beautiful display.

(Applause)

Your photos will look amazing on it. Huge, incredibly detailed, rich colors. Your documents will be full size with laser-sharp text. And I'll say it again, watching movies on it is incredible. It's an amazing experience. This is the most advanced display we have ever built

It took some incredible innovation in technology. For example, we used the technology that we created in the iMac with Retina 5K display and its timing controller to drive all those pixels quickly. We made it look beautiful with our photo alignment technique, which means it has great on-access contrast ratio. It's made of the best oxide TFT material, which means we can light up the pixels quickly and have uniform color and brightness.

And for the first time in an Apple display, it has a variable refresh rate. That means if things aren't moving quickly on the display, we can slow it down and save energy. 



This is an amazing display, and inside it, something even more amazing, the chip that powers it. This is the new A9X chip. It's our third-generation 64-bit chip. We've doubled bandwidth to memory. We've doubled the read and write performance to flash storage. It is so fast.

How fast is it? The new A9X is 1.8 times faster than the A8X it replaces. This is desktop-class performance.

(Applause)

If you compare what our team has done, our chip team, is just on fire, over the last five years, they've grown performance in the iPad 22fold for CPU tasks. And graphics tasks are even faster. We've doubled the performance of graphics over the A8X. And over the last five years, this is unbelievable, graphics performance has gone up 360 times

(Applause)

The biggest jump in this year alone. You combine that fast hardware with great software, like in iOS 9, our Metal libraries for writing, games, and applications directly to that graphics chip, and you get incredible performance. 

But here's another way to think about how fast iPad Pro is. It is faster than 80% of the portable PCs that shipped in the last 12 months. 

(Applause)

That's at CPU tasks. At graphics tasks, it's faster than 90% of them. 

(Applause)

So when you run tasks and applications that we all love to use, they get incredibly fast. For example, iMovie. Running iMovie on an iPad Pro delivers desktop-class performance. With iMovie, you can now edit three streams of 4K video simultaneous. That's incredible performance.





And it's going to enable new classes of applications for iPad. For example, check this out. This is AutoCAD 360 from Autodesk. It's an incredibly powerful application. This image has 320,000 objects in its wireframe mesh. And you can zoom in and pan around it with buttery 60 frame per second smoothness, something you can't do on a PC.

And all that power comes with all-day battery life. Ten hours of battery life. So we've got an amazing display, incredible performance, great battery Iife.

(Applause)

So we thought this display deserves a great sound system, and so for the first time ever in an Apple product, we now have a four-speaker audio system. And automatically balances the left and the right depending on how you are holding the iPad

And it balances the frequencies between the bottom dynamically to create a beautiful stereo sound stage. And it puts out three times the audio volume of an iPad Air 2. You really have to listen to it. It's amazing. 



And that's packed into a device that's incredibly thin and light. Here's the iPad Pro. Let's bring in the iPad Air underneath it. You can see they are both incredibly thing. The iPad Pro is just 6.9 millimeters thin. The iPad Air 6.1. Very, very close.

How about the weight of it. Let's bring in the original first iPad. it's kind of fun. They are both just around 1.5 pounds, which is unbelievable because the iPad Pro has a 78% larger screen area. It has 360 times more graphics power. 

It is thin and light enough to hold all day and powerful enough to take everywhere, whether you want to watch movies in the park or edit a film on location. This is an amazing iPad.



But the story doesn't stop there...

Apple Special Event

Bill Graham Civi Auditorium
San Francisco
September 9th 2015


Tim Cook
Apple CEO

Thank you. Good morning!

Thank you for joining us and welcome to San Francisco and the legendary Bill Graham Civic Auditorium. We could not be more excited to be here this morning, and we're so glad that so many people from all over the world could join us, including many of our employees. Hey, guys.

(Cheers and applause)

It's been an incredible year for Apple. We are really firing on all cylinders. And we are about to make some monster announcement across the several of our product lines. So we have a big day ahead, and there's no time for updates, so I'd like to get right in and talk about Apple Watch.

(Applause)





Yes. Just a few months ago, we made Apple Watch available to our customers around the world. It's already changing their daily lives, and they love using it. They love how quick and easy it is to respond and receive messages and phone calls and notifications from their favorite apps. They're amazed at how Siri on the Watch let's them do so much with just their voice, like get directions or send a quick message. With Apple Pay, customers are loving that they can purchase directly form their wrist.

And Apple Watch is helping our users live a better day, closing those rings had become a healthy obsession. In fact, we have been flooded by emails, like this one from Dennis, saying that the Apple Watch has motivated him to work out and exercise on a regular basis.

"A life-changing device... I have lost almost 30lbs... the watch inspired me in a way I have never been before to work out and exercise on a daily basis."
Dennis H.





To many people like Dennis, the Apple Watch has been life changing. For all of these reasons and many more, people love using Apple Watch. Customer satisfaction is an incredible 97%.

Now, despite just we are launching the watch a few months ago, we are on an incredible pace of innovation, and to tell you about where we are going next, I'd like to invite Jeff Williams to the stage. Jeff?

(Applause)



Jeff Williams
senior vice president

Thanks, Tim. In June, just weeks after launching Apple Watch, we previewed our next generation of OS, and it's packed with powerful features. There are new watch faces, like this beautiful one with time transit .

Third-party complications, this is a big deal. It's a really powerful thing to be able to glance at your wrist and see the information that's important to you. And now with third-party complications, you can see even more, things like the latest news or your airline departure time and Time Travel. Just rotate the Digital Crown and view the day ahead. It's the fastest way to see the next couple of meetings or check what the temperature will be later in the day, for example. And we are adding Transit to Maps, making it easier to find and use public transportation.

(Applause)

Now, in addition to these and other built-in features, developers have been hard at work. There are already over 10,000 Watch apps on the App Store.

(Applause)

And now, with native apps, developers can do even more. Apps can display video, they can access hardware, like the microphone, speaker, and health sensors. I'd like to show you a few right now. Facebook Messenger is coming to the Watch.

(Applause)

Facebook Messenger allows users to send text, send audio messages, and share their location right from their wrist. And iTranslate, one of my personal favorites. Just speak into the microphone and see and hear translations in over 90 languages.





And GoPro. The wrist is an ideal location to control your GoPro, and now the apps turns the watch into a viewfinder. No matter where your camera is mounted, you will always know where it's pointed, and you will never miss that important shot.

And then AirStrip. This is an app that is for physicians, and I think it's a great example of just how far developers can go with native apps. But rather than describe it for you, I'd like to bring up Dr. Cameron Powell, Co-Founder of AirStrip, to demo it for you now.

(Applause)






Dr. Cameron Powell

Thanks, Jeff. Joining me on stage is AirStrip's Co-Founder Trey Moore. AirStrip plays an important role in our country's healthcare system, leveraging the use of iPhone and iPad. But here comes another game-changer for healthcare, Apple Watch.

Let's start with a physician who is viewing his daily schedule, making rounds, and communicating with the team. Now if I look at my watch face, I can see my next patient. I can notice her diagnosis, and I can actually Time Travel to see what's next.

But let's see what happens if a nurse sends me a notification. Now, within the message itself, I can see the alert, the waveform, vital signs, and the lab results. The reason that I can immediately see all of this relevant data is because once I have the watch on, I am securely authenticated until I take it off. Let's go back and dig a little deeper on that waveform. I really want to know what's happening right now.

(Applause)

Thank you. Now, this wasn't possible until watch OS2, but what I really care about is I want to compare what happens in real-time to what has been happening more recently, and I can do that on Apple Watch by rotating the Digital Crown.

Now, as you can see, AirStrip magically pulls all this data together into a single view through our AirStrip1 platform, and we make it available to Apple Watch for display, but what is so great is I can take action on what I see. Here I can send a HIPAA-compliant secure message to a member of the patient's care team. In this instance, I am going to order a repeat ECG. Okay. We are going to switch gears.

Let's talk about how AirStrip with Apple Watch will change our doctors communicate with their patients. Now, AirStrip has been used already to monitor over 3.5 million pregnant women in the hospital, but with our new product, Sense4Baby, we can now monitor these women at home, leveraging Apple Watch. So here you see a message from a doctor to the pregnant patient at home asking her to begin monitoring her baby's heart with something called a None Stress Test, or an NST.

Now, the mom, with a watch on her wrist and connected to the Sense4Baby sensors on her belly, starts a test. As I can see on this green line, I can confirm that I am monitoring the mother's heart rate as it's being read by Apple Watch, but I can also see the baby's heart rate and the mother's contractions as they are being read form Sense4Baby. So finally, I can differentiate between the mother's heart rate and the baby's heart rate, which has been a problem for many years with home monitoring. Now, while she's doing this test, she can actually listen to the baby's heart rate right on her wrist.

(Applauses)

Thank you. That's really cool, isn't it? Now, when the test is done, she can simply send all that data from her watch back to her doctor. And then later that evening, she gets a message from the doctor telling her I've read your NST. Your baby is doing just fine. So AirStrip, plus Apple Watch together, will redefine how messaging and communication occurs in healthcare. Thank you very much.

(Applause)



Jeff Williams
senior vice president

Isn't that great? That's why we do what we do. We think the power and potential of watch OS2 is unlimited, and we can't wait to see what else developers do with it. I want to switch gears, and I want to talk a little bit about our collection. When we created Apple Watch, we knew it had to be an expression of your personal taste and style. And today, we're offering even more choice. We've been working with a company that we greatly admire on some new watches. This is a company that shares our commitment to excellence and craftsmanship, and that company is Hermes.

(Applause)

Together we've created a collection. It starts with this iconic double tour that wraps elegantly around your wrist twice. It's made of hand-stitched leather that ages beautifully over time. And joining the double tour is a single tour and a cuff. Each of these has an Hermes watch face that uses their traditional iconography. These are going to be available in select stores in October, and we think people are going to love Apple Watch Hermes.

(Applause)

But that's not the only update to our lineup. We have been working on new models and new bands, and I' d like to show them to you now.

(Cheers and applause)

We're really excited to offer two new finishes, gold and rose gold, in anodized aluminum. These are going to come in both sizes, 38 and 42 millimeter, and they are paired with some. And they are available at the same price as the rest of the Sport lineup. This adds a whole new dimension to the I lineup. You actually just have to see them in person. They are really beautiful.

We've also made some updates to our stainless collection. The space black stainless has been very popular, so we are now adding a model with a black Sport band, and we've updated our classic leather with it's now got a two-tone look, and it comes in black and saddle brown. It's really beautiful. And finally, we're offering a stainless steel case with a Product Red band.

(Applause)

Not only does it look good, but a portion of the proceeds goes to the Global Fund to fight AIDS. I think you are going to love it. One of the things that people love about Apple Watch is the ease with which you can change the band and create a whole new look.

So we're adding a fall collection of new bands ranging from vibrant hues to more neutral tones, and when you pair these bands with different cases, you end up with some truly unique combinations. It's really nice. So that's our Apple Watch lineup, and as we look forward to the holiday season, we are really excited with new models and new OS, with native apps.

We think it's going to be a fantastic holiday gift. The new models that you saw are shipping today in these 24 countries, and watch OS2 is available on September 16. That's Apple Watch. I'll hand it back to Tim.

(Applause)



Tim Cook

Thanks, Jeff. It is amazing what kind of power that you now have on your wrist. It's really incredible. And we've got some great news looks. Next up is iPad. Yes!

(Applause)

iPad is ...

江戸無血開城、『談判筆記』山岡鉄舟


談判筆記

慶応戊辰三月、駿府大総督府に於て
西郷隆盛氏と談判筆記

全生庵所蔵



 戊辰の年、官軍 我(わが)旧主 徳川慶喜(とくがわ・よしのぶ)御征討の節、官軍と徳川の間(あいだ)隔絶、旧主 家の者 如何とも尽力の途(みち)を失ひ、論議紛紜(ふんうん)、廟堂一人として慶喜の恭順を大総督宮(だいそうとくのみや)へ相(あひ)訴へ候(さふらふ)者無く、日夜 焦心苦慮する而已(のみ)なり。其内(そのうち)譜代の家士(かし)数万人、論議決定致さず 或(あるい)は官軍に抗せんとする者あり。又は脱走して事を計らんとする者あり。其勢(いきほひ)言語に尽す能(あた)はざるなり。

 旧主 徳川慶喜儀は、恭順謹慎、朝廷に対し、公正無二の赤心(せきしん)にて、譜代の家士(かし)等に示すに、恭順謹慎の趣旨を厳守すべきを以てす。「若(も)し不軌(ふき)の事を計る者あらば、予に刃(じん)するが如し」と達したり。故に余(よ)旧主に述(のぶ)るに、「今日切迫の時勢、恭順の趣旨は如何なる考(かんがえ)に出で候(さふらふ)哉」と伺ふ。旧主示すに、「予は朝廷に対し公正無二の赤心を以て謹慎すと雖(いへど)も、朝敵の命下りし上は、とても予が生命を全(まった)ふする事は成るまじ。斯く迄(かくまで)衆人に悪(にく)まれし事、返す返すも嘆かはしき事」と落涙せられたる。

 余旧主に述るに、「何を弱きつまらぬ事を申さるるや。謹慎とあるは詐(いつ)はりにても有らんか。何か外(ほか)にたくまれし事にても有るべきか」。旧主曰く、「予は別心なし」「如何なる事にても朝廷へ貫徹し、御疑念氷解は勿論なり。鉄太郎に於て其辺は屹(きっ)と引受(ひきうけ)、必ず赤心徹底致すべき様尽力致すべし。鉄太郎 眼(まなこ)の黒き内は、決して配慮これ有る間敷(まじく)」と断言す。

 爾後(じご)自ら天地に誓ひ、死を決し、只(ただ)一人官軍の営中に至り、大総督宮へ此(この)衷情を言上し、国家の為に無事を計らんと欲す。大総督府本営に到る迄(まで)、若(も)し余が命を絶つ者あらば曲(きょく)は彼にあり。予は国家百万の生霊に代り、生を捨つるは素(もと)より余が欲する所なりと、心中(しんちゅう)青天白日(せいてんはくじつ)の如く、一点の曇(くもり)なき赤心を一二の重臣に計れども其事(そのこと)決して成難(なりがた)しとて肯(がへん)せず。



 当時 軍事総裁(ぐんじそうさい)勝安房(かつ・あは)は余(よ)(もと)より知己ならずと雖(いへど)も、曾(かつ)て其(その)胆略あるを聞く。故に行(ゆき)て是を安房に計る。安房、余が粗暴の聞(きこ)へあるを以て、少しく不信の色あり。安房は余に問ふて曰く、「足下(そっか)如何なる手立(てだて)を以て官軍の営中にへ行くや」と。

 余曰く、「官軍の営中に到れば、彼等は必ず余を斬(ざん)するか縛(ばく)するかの外(ほか)なかるべし。其時、余は双刀を渡し、縛すれば縛につき、斬らんとせば我(わが)旨意(しい)を一言(いちごん)大総督宮へ言上(ごんじゃう)せん。若(も)し其言(そのげん)の悪(あし)くば直(ただち)に首を斬るべし。其言のよくば此の処置を余に任すべしと云はん而已(のみ)。是非を問はず、只(ただ)空しく人を殺すの理なし。何の難(かた)きことか之あらん」と云(いふ)

安房(あは)其精神不動の色を見て断然同意し、余が望(のぞみ)に任す。夫(それ)より余家に帰りしとき、薩人(さつじん)益満休之助(ますみつ・きゅうのすけ)来り、同行せん事を乞ふ。依(より)て同行を承諾し、直(ただ)ちに駿府(すんぷ)に向ひて急行す。



 既に六郷河(ろくがうがは)を渡れば、官軍の先鋒、左右皆な銃隊(じゅうたい)。其(その)中央を通行するに止(とど)むる人なし。隊長の宿営と見ゆる家に到り、案内を乞(こ)はずして立入り、隊長を尋ぬるに、是(これ)なるべしと思ふ人あり(後聞けば篠原国幹なり)。則ち大音(だいおん)にて、「朝敵(ちょうてき)徳川慶喜家来、山岡鉄太郎、大総督府へ通る」と断はりしに、其人(そのひと)「徳川慶喜、徳川慶喜」と、二声(ふたこえ)小音(こごえ)にて云ひしのみ。此(この)家に居合す人、凡(およ)そ百人計(ばか)りと思へども、何(いづ)れも声も出さず唯(た)だ余が方を見たる許(ばか)りなり。依(よっ)て其の家を出で、直(ただ)ちに横浜の方へ急ぎ行きたり。其時(そのとき)益満(ますみつ)も後(あと)に添(そひ)て来れり。

 横浜を出(いで)、神奈川駅に到れば、長州の隊となれり。是(これ)は兵士旅営(りょえい)に入り、駅の前後に番兵を出せり。此所(ここ)にては益満(ますみつ)を先となし、余は後(あと)に従ひ、薩州藩(さっしうはん)と名乗り急ぎ行くに、更に支(さそ)ふる者なし。夫(それ)より追々(おひおひ)薩藩(さっぱん)と名乗れば、無印鑑なれども、礼を厚(あつく)し通行させたり。

 小田原駅に着(ちゃく)せし頃、江戸の方に兵端(へいたん)を開けりとて、物見(ものみ)の人数路上に絶えず、東に向ひて出張す。戦争は何処にて始まりしと尋ねしに、甲州勝沼の辺なりと云ふ。仄(ほのか)に聞(きく)近藤勇(こんどう・いさむ)甲州へ脱走せしが、果(はた)して是(これ)なるべしと心に思ふたり。



 昼夜兼行、駿府(すんぷ)に到着。伝馬町(でんまちょう)某家を旅営とせる大総督府下、西郷吉之助(さいごう・きちのすけ)(かた)に行きて面謁(めんえつ)を乞ふ。同氏、異議なく対面す。余、西郷氏の名を聞事(きくこと)久し。然れども曾(かつ)て一面識なし。

 余、西郷氏に問(とふて)(いはく)「先生、此度(このたび)朝敵征討の御旨意(ごしい)は、是非を論ぜず進撃せらるるか。我(わが)徳川家にも多数の兵士あり。是非に関(かかは)らず、進軍とあるときは、主人徳川慶喜、東叡山(とうえいざん)菩提寺(ぼだいじ)に恭順謹慎(きょうじゅん・きんしん)致し居り、家士(かし)共に厚く説諭(せつゆ)すと雖(いへど)も、終(つい)には鎮撫(ちんぶ)行届(ゆきとど)かず、或(あるひ)は朝意(ちょうい)に背(そむ)き、又は脱走不軌(ふき)を計(はか)る者多からん。左(さ)すれば主人徳川慶喜は、公正無二の赤心(せきしん)、君臣の大義を重んずるも、朝廷へ徹せず。故(ゆへ)に余(よ)其の事を嘆(たん)し、大総督宮へ此事(このこと)を言上(ごんじょう)し、慶喜の赤心を達せん為(た)め是迄(これまで)参りしなり」と。

西郷氏曰(いはく)「最早(もはや)甲州にて兵端を開きし旨(むね)注進あり。先生の言ふ所とは相違なり」と云ふ。余曰(いはく)「夫(それ)は脱走の兵のなす処(ところ)なり。縦令(たとひ)兵端を開きたりとも何の仔細(しさい)もなし」と云ひければ、西郷氏曰、「夫(それ)なればよし」と云(いふ)て後(あと)を問はず。

余曰、「先生に於ては戦(たたかひ)を何時(いつ)迄も望まれ、人を殺すを専一(せんいち)とせらるるか。夫(それ)では王師(わうし)とは云ひ難し。天子は民の父母なり。理非(りひ)を明らかにするを以(もっ)て王師とす」と。西郷氏曰、「唯(た)だ進撃を好むにあらず。恭順の実効さえ立てば、寛典(くわんてん)の御処置あらん」。余曰、「其(その)実効と云ふは如何なる事ぞ。勿論(もちろん)慶喜に於(おい)ては朝命には背かざるなり」

西郷氏曰、「先日来(せんじつらい)静寛院宮(じゃうくわんいん)天璋院(てんしょういん)殿の使者来り、慶喜殿、恭順謹慎の事、嘆願すと雖(いへど)も、只(ただ)恐懼して更に条理(でうり)分らず、空(むなし)く立戻(たちもど)りたり。先生、是迄(これまで)出張、江戸の事情も判然し、大(おほい)に都合よろし、右の趣(おもむき)大総督宮へ言上(こんじゃう)致すべく、此処(このところ)に控へ居(お)るべし」とて、宮へ伺候(しかう)す。



(しばら)くありて西郷氏、帰営し、宮より五箇条の御書(ごしょ)御下げ有(あり)たり。其文(そのぶん)に曰、

一、城を明渡(あけわた)す事

一、城中の人数を向島(むかふじま)に移す事

一、兵器を渡す事

一、軍艦を渡す事

一、徳川慶喜を備前へ預くる事


西郷氏曰(いはく)「右の五箇条、実効相(あい)立つ上は、徳川家寛典(かんてん)の御処置も之(これ)有るべく」と。余曰、「謹んで承(うけたまは)りたり。然れども右五ヶ条の内に於(おい)て、一ヶ条は拙者に於て何分にも御請(おう)け致し難(がた)き旨(むね)(これ)有り候(そうろう)。西郷氏曰、「夫(それ)は何(ど)の箇条なるか」

余曰、「主人慶喜を独り備前へ預(あづく)る事、決して相(あい)(なら)ざる事なり。何(なん)となれば此場(このば)に至り、徳川恩顧の家士(かし)、決して承伏(しょうふく)致さざるなり。詰(つま)る処(ところ)兵端(へいたん)を開き、空(むな)しく数万の生命を絶つ。是(これ)王師(わうし)のなす所にあらず。さすれば先生は只(ただ)の人殺しなるべし。故に拙者、此条(このじょう)に於いては決して肯(がえんぜ)ざるなり」

西郷氏曰、「朝命(ちょうめい)なり」。余曰、「縦令(たとひ)朝命なりと雖(いへど)も、拙者に於て決して承伏せざるなり」と断言す。西郷氏又(また)(しひ)て、「朝命なり」と云(いふ)

余曰、「然れば先生と余と、其(その)位置を置き易(か)へて暫(しばら)く之を論ぜん。先生の主人島津公、若(もし)誤りて朝敵の汚名を受け、官軍征討の日に当り、其君(そのきみ)恭順謹慎の時に及んで、先生余が任に居り、主家の為め尽力するに、主人慶喜の如き御処置の朝命あらば、先生其命を奉戴し、速(すみやか)に其君を差出し、安閑として傍観する事、君臣の情、先生の義に於て如何(いかが)ぞや。此儀(このぎ)に於ては鉄太郎、決して忍ぶ事能(あた)はざる所なり」と激論せり。

西郷氏、黙念(もくねん)(しばら)くありて曰、「先生の説、尤(もっと)も然り。然らば即ち徳川慶喜殿の事に於ては、吉之助(きちのすけ)(きっ)と引受け取計(とりはから)ふべし。先生必ず心痛する事勿(なか)れ」と誓約せり。

 後(のち)に西郷氏、余に謂(い)ふ。「先生、官軍の陣営を破り此(ここ)に来(きた)る。縛(ばく)するは勿論(もちろん)なれども縛せず」と。余答(こたへて)曰、「縛(ばく)につくは余が望むところ、早く縛すべし」と。西郷氏笑(わらっ)て曰、「先(ま)づ酒を酌まん」と。数杯を傾け暇(いとま)を告ぐれば、西郷氏、大総督府(だいそうとくふ)陣営通行の符(ふ)を与ふ。之を請(うけ)て去る。



 帰路(きろ)急行、余神奈川駅を過(すぐ)る頃、乗馬五六匹を牽(ひき)行くあり。何(いづ)れの馬なるかと尋ねしに、江川太郎左衛門(えがわ・たろうざえもん)より出す処の官軍用馬なりと。其馬二匹を貸すべしと云ひ、直(ただ)ちに益満(ますみつ)と共に其馬に跨(またが)り、馳(はせ)て品川駅に到る。

 官軍先鋒、既に同駅に在り。番兵、余に馬をとどめよと云ふ。余、聞かずして行く。急に二三名走り来(きた)り、一人余が乗(のり)たる馬の平首(ひらくび)に銃を当て、胸間(きょうかん)へ向け放発(ほうはつ)せり。奇なる哉(かな)、雷管(らいくわん)発して弾丸発せず。益満(ますみつ)驚きて馬より下(お)り其兵の持(もち)たる銃を打落(うちおと)し、西郷氏に応接の云々(うんぬん)を示すに、聞かず。伍長(ごちょう)(てい)の人、出で来(きた)り、其兵士を諭す。兵、不伏(ふふく)ながら退く。[薩藩、山本某と云ふ人なり]

 若(も)し銃弾発すれば其所(そこ)にて死すべきに、幸(さいはひ)に天の余が生命を保護する所なからんと、益満と共に馬上に談じ、急ぎ江戸城に帰り、即ち大総督宮より御下げの五ヶ条、西郷氏と約(やく)せし云々(うんぬん)を、詳(つまびら)かに参政(さんせい)大久保一翁(いちおう)、勝安房(かつ・あわ)(ら)に示す。両氏其他(そのた)の重臣、官軍徳川の間、事情貫徹(かんてつ)せしことを喜べり。旧主徳川慶喜の欣喜(きんき)、言語を以て云ふべからず。



 直(ただ)ちに江戸市中に布告(ふこく)を為(な)したり。其大意、此(かく)の如し。

 大総督府下、参謀西郷吉之助殿へ応接相(あい)(すみ)、恭順謹慎、実効相(あい)立ち候(さふらふ)上は、寛典(かんてん)の御処置相(あい)成り候(さふらふ)に付(つき)、市中一同、動揺致さず、家業致すべし

との高札(こうさつ)を、江戸市中に立つ。是(これ)に依(よっ)て市中の人民、少しく安堵(あんど)の色あり。



 是より後(のち)、西郷氏江戸に着(ちゃく)し、高輪(たかなは)薩摩邸に於て、西郷氏に勝安房(かつ・あわ)と余と相(あい)会し、共に前日約(やく)せし四ヶ条は、必ず実効を奏すべしと誓約す。故に西郷氏承諾、進軍を止(とど)む。

 此時(このとき)徳川家の脱兵(だっぺい)なるか、軍装(ぐんさう)せし者、同邸(どうてい)なる後(うしろ)の海に小舟七八 艘(そう)に乗組(のりくみ)、凡(およ)そ五十人許(ばか)り同邸に向ひ寄せ来(きた)る。西郷氏に付属の兵士、事の出来(いできた)るを驚き奔走す。安房(あは)も余も是(これ)を見て如何(いか)なる者かと思ひたり。西郷氏神色(しんしょく)自若(じじゃく)、余に向ひ笑て曰、「私が殺されると兵隊がふるひます」と云(いひ)たり。其言(そのげん)の確乎(かくこ)として動かざる事、真に感ずべきなり。暫時(しばらく)ありて其兵は何(いづ)れへか去る。全く脱兵と見えたり。

 此(かく)の如きの勢(いきほひ)なれば、西郷氏応接に来(きた)る毎(ごと)に、余往返(わうへん)を護送す。徳川家の兵士、議論百端(ひゃくたん)殺気云ふ可(べか)らざるの秋(とき)、若(も)し西郷氏を途中に殺さんと謀る者あれば、余前約(ぜんやく)に対し甚(はなは)だ之を恥づ。万一不慮の変ある時は、西郷氏と共に死せんと心に盟(ちか)って護送せり。



 此日(このひ)大総督府下参謀より急の御用有り之(これ)出頭すべしと御達(おんたっし)あり。余出頭せしに、村田新八(むらた・しんぱち)出で来(きた)り、「先日官軍の陣営を足下(そくか)(みだり)に通行す。其旨(そのむね)先鋒隊より報知(ほうち)す。我と中村半次郎(なかむら・はんじらう)[桐野利秋]と足下を跡より追付(おいつけ)切殺(きりころ)さんとせしが、足下(そくか)早くも西郷方へ到り面会せしに依(よっ)て切損(きりそん)じたり。余り残念さに呼出(よびいだ)し是(これ)を云へるのみ。別に御用向きは無し」と云ふ。

予曰(いはく)「それはさも有るべし。予は江戸児(えどっこ)なり、足は最も早し貴君(あなた)方は田舎者にてのろま男故(ゆえ)、余が早きにはとても及ぶまじ」と云ふて、共に大笑(おほわら)ひして別れたり。両士も其時軍艦にて陣営を護(まも)りながら、卒然(そつぜん)其職務を失(しく)じりしを遺憾に思ひしと見えたり。

 此(かく)の如きの形勢なれば、予輩(よはい)鞠躬尽力(きっきゅうじんりょく)して、以て旧主徳川慶喜が君臣の大義を重んずるの心を体認(たいにん)し、謹んで四ヶ条の実効を奏し、且(かつ)百般の難件(なんけん)を所置(しょち)する者、是(こ)れ則ち予が国家に報する所以(ゆえん)の微意(びい)なり。



明治十五年三月
山岡鉄太郎 誌(しるす)





出典:児玉四郎『明治天皇の御杖』






解説:[[新訳]鉄舟随感録 「剣禅一如」の精髄を極める]より

『慶応戊辰三月駿府大総督府ニ於テ西郷隆盛氏ト談判筆記』という鉄舟の遺稿がある。維新の際に功績のあった人々に対して、明治政府の論功行賞(ろんこうこうしょう)が始められた時、過去を語ることが少なかった鉄舟は、その勲功(くんこう)調査に応じることを再三固辞したが、ついに右大臣の岩倉具視(いわくら・ともみ)から直接に求められるに及んで、ようやく認(したた)めたものだ。ただし、勲功調査とは別途に、岩倉個人に呈した書だった。己の功を自慢気に述べ立てることを嫌った鉄舟は、歴史の「証言」に資(し)するならば、という条件付きで呈上(ていじょう)したのである。以下、明治16年(1883)記のその『談判筆記』『鉄舟居士の真面目(しんめんもく)』圓山牧田編集、全生庵発行、大正七年)にしたがって、細部は省略しながら、鉄舟の果たした大仕事を垣間見ることにする。


 上野の寛永寺に閉居していた徳川慶喜は、すでに朝廷に対する恭順の意を固めていたし、譜代の家臣たちに厳命していた。その趣旨に反しようとする者は「余に対して刃(やいば)をふるうに等しい」とまで通達していたのである。

 純粋なその思い、赤心(せきしん)をもって、こうして謹慎しているのだが、朝敵(ちょうてき)の汚名を着せられたからには、もう自分の命はおぼつかないであろうし、「これほどまでに人々に憎まれることになったのは、かえすがえす嘆かわしいことだ」と伺候(しこう)した鉄舟の前で慶喜は落涙(らくるい)した。

 そこで、鉄舟は「どうして、そのようなか弱きことをいわれるのですか」と述べ、「謹慎というのは偽りで、何か企(たくら)まれていることがあるのですか」と問うと、慶喜は「どのようなことがあっても、朝廷に背(そむ)かざる赤心を貫く」と答えた。

 慶喜の強い決意を確かめた鉄舟は、「その誠の赤心のうえでの謹慎ならば、それは朝廷に貫徹して、もちろん疑念は晴れるはずですので、その役目は自分が引き受け、必ず赤心が朝廷に通じるように尽力いたしましょう」と言い、次のように断言したのである。「この鉄太郎の眼の黒いうちは、決して、ご心配には及びませぬ」



 その後、命をかけて大総督府に慶喜の赤心を伝える自分の考えを、鉄舟は一、二の重臣に打ち明けたが、「そんなことができるはがない」と一蹴されたので、未知の人だが、かねて胆略(たんりゃく)優れた人物という評判を耳にしていた幕府の軍事総裁である勝海舟(かつ・かいしゅう)を訪ねて、粘り強く説得した末に同意を引き出す。そして、海舟の家に預けられていた薩摩人の益満休之助(ますみつ・きゅうのすけ)という者を同行(このことは海舟に請われて鉄舟が承諾したと述べられている)して、直ちに駿府へと向かった。

 さて、六郷川(多摩川)を渡ると、すでにそこまで進軍していた新政府軍(官軍)の先鋒隊の兵が、銃を持って駐屯(ちゅうとん)している。鉄舟はそのど真ん中を通行したが、一人として制止する者がいない。彼は宿営(しゅくえい)と思(おぼ)しき家に乗り込むと、隊長らしい人物に大声で、こう断った。「朝敵・徳川慶喜の家来、山岡鉄太郎、大総督府へ通る」と。宿営にいた百人ほどの人間は、一声も発することなく、鉄舟の方に目を向けたばかりであった。



 それより横浜、神奈川、小田原を経て、益満を従えて昼夜歩きつづけた鉄舟は、駿府に着くと、大総督府下の参謀・西郷吉之助(きちのすけ)隆盛(たかもり)の旅営に行った。その名はずいぶん以前から聞き知っていたが、もちろん、一面識もない西郷に面会を許されると、彼は切々とおよそ以下のようなことを訴えたのである。

「わが主人の徳川慶喜は、恭順の意志をもって謹慎しているが、臣下の者に対する鎮撫(ちんぶ)が行き届かないために、朝廷のお考えに背いている者が多いかもしれず、無二(むに)の赤心(偽りのない心)が朝廷に通じないことを嘆いている。拙者はそれを大総督宮(有栖川宮)に言上(ごんじょう)し、慶喜の赤心を伝えるためにこうしてやって来たのである。先生(西郷)は、それでも江戸へと進軍されるのか。それでは、人殺しではないか。王師(帝王の軍隊)とはいえぬ。天子(天皇)は民の父母であり、理非(りひ)を明らかにするのが、王師というものではないのか」

 すると西郷が、「恭順の実際を示せば、朝廷より寛大な処置が下されるであろう」と言い、大総督宮に伺いを立てて戻って来ると、大総督宮より下された左記の五箇条から成る書を呈した。

一 城(江戸城)を明渡(あけわた)す事

一 城中の人数を向島(むこうじま)へ移す事

一 兵器を渡す事

一 軍艦を渡す事

一 徳川慶喜を備前(岡山県)へ預(あずけ)る事。

 西郷はこの五箇条の実効が成立すれば、徳川家に寛典(かんてん)が下されるであろう、と言うのである。

 鉄舟は「謹んで承(うけたまわ)りました」と言った後で、ただし、慶喜を備前に預けるという条はとうてい承服(しょうふく)できぬ、と言った。なぜならば、「そうなれば徳川恩顧(おんこ)の臣がこれを受け容れず、ついには戦争が始まるし、その結果、数万の生命が絶たれることになる」からであり、その事態に至れば、「先生は単なる人殺しになるであろう」と言うのだった。

 「朝命(ちょうめい)なり」と西郷は頑なに主張するばかりである。鉄舟は激しく食い下がる。彼はこんなことを言った。「もしも、慶喜が先生の主人の島津公で、先生がこの鉄太郎の立場にあったならば、朝命を奉戴(ほうたい)してご主君を差し出し、安閑(あんかん)として事を傍観されるか。どうですか」。この言葉を聞いて、西郷は黙っていたが、やがて口を開いた。「先生(鉄舟)の説はごもっともである。徳川慶喜殿のことは、この吉之助が引き受け申した」と、西郷は言い、あとは二人の間で酒が酌みかわされた。



 それからの経緯は省(はぶ)くが、西郷から与えられた「大総督府陣営の通行の符」を手にして江戸城に帰ると、鉄舟は参政(さんせい)の大久保一翁(忠寛)、勝海舟たちに五箇条の書を示し、加えて、西郷との談判の詳細を報告したのである。そして、江戸市中に高札(こうさつ)が立つ。その布告の大意は、左記の通りであった。

 大総督府下参謀西郷吉之助殿へ応接相済(あいすみ)、恭順謹慎実効相立(あいたち)候上(そうろううえ)は、寛典の御処置相成(あいなり)候に付(つき)、市中一同同様不致(いたさず)、家業可致(いたすべし)。

 後日、高輪(たかなわ)の薩摩藩邸で、勝海舟と西郷隆盛の史上有名な会談が行われる。その席には鉄舟も加わっている。こうして、江戸は戦火を免れたのだった。
