“It was only for you.”

[@paciuzz]

HI. do you know the title and composer of this song? 1:00

[@kxneisoffline]

@@paciuzzI’m looking for the same

[@paciuzz]

Hi guys. Any news about this song? 0:58

[@daruma3513]

The red camellia is very symbolic in this work. In Japan, camellia is considered to be a flower disliked by wives of samurai warriors, especially those who are loyal to their husbands. I will write the reason. Because the head of the camellia falls off when the flower withers, it reminds them of the death of their husbands, which is bad luck for them. Viewers must have seen many times in the making of this drama that "people's heads are cut off like camellia flowers falling off. In those days, human life was as simple as this. We can also assume that Mariko has no feelings for her husband when she is wearing a camellia-patterned kimono. I studied tea ceremony for several years. In tea ceremony etiquette, flowers in bloom are not displayed in the tea room. We would pick buds or those just before they bloomed from branches in the garden (taking away their life). Then they spray them with a mist to make them "look as if they were alive" (keep them alive). The care that goes into creating the space is the spirit of hospitality of a tea master. I felt the compassion of a tea master and the love of a husband when he piled up a single camellia flower and dripped a drop of water on it. Poor thing was not rewarded.... In the tea ceremony, once you enter a small tea room, no matter what kind of relationship you have between husband and wife, boss and subordinate, or any other relationship, you are free to be alone in that space with only the tea master and his guest. There are unbelievable rules even for making matcha tea. For example, the number of steps taken on the tatami mats, the rate at which the lid of the tea kettle is opened, the way chopsticks, ladles, and matcha containers are held. Rules for tea bowls, tea utensils and hanging scrolls, etc. (all of which change depending on the season and the recipient). After years and decades of having these rules ingrained in your body, you can hold a tea ceremony as if it were a natural and smooth routine, as if you were not thinking about it at all. They simply serve matcha, drink it, and thank each other for the tea and the hospitality. I would say that Mariko's husband was an excellent tea master, as far as the fact that they were able to speak their minds to each other. I am Japanese, but I have never seen a drama work that considers its own culture to this extent. Of course, Shogun is a fiction (there are several characters who do not appear in the historical facts, and all of them live different lives from the historical facts), but it is really interesting. Thank you for allowing me to share it with you all.

[@duarte2]

Thanks for this added context. It's poignant what tragic characters these are.

[@moozillamoo2109]

"We can also assume that Mariko has no feelings for her husband when she is wearing a camellia-patterned kimono." Basically, "I hope you die!". Brutal.

[@FaebellFawn]

That's awesome thanks so much I've been wanting to know more about the tea ceremony ritual/customs

[@TamMag-gh1ug]

In honor of Mariko. Camellia blossoms fall gracefully, so both aristocrats and samurai loved camellias. It is a myth created during the Meiji or late Edo period that samurai disliked camellias. No matter how broken their marriage was, Mariko was never portrayed in this show as a woman who hoped her husband dead.

[@LJPugh187]

I also get a sense through the the musical score during this scene(while he prepares the tea) and other scenes such as when Blackthorn tries the fermented bean dish that the show is really putting the heart and soul of Japanese culture at the forefront for the viewer. My interpretation as an American may be off but the light strings add so much even though they are subtle to have me really tune in and pay attention to the minute details. This show was fascinating and your comment shows the love and care that was put into this.

[@HiLectric]

Devastating scene. No warrior could overcome Buntaro -- he even survived certain death. Only to be cut down by Mariko with just a few well chosen words. This show is incredible.

[@MarisaSun]

This is one of my very favorite scenes, it’s so powerful. Beautiful, dramatic, painful, overwhelming and yet made within such a calm and peaceful set up and choice of words. I understand Buntaro is one of the best of the best samurai’s, but he wasn’t a good husband, he was cold, harsh, aggressive, she was never happy with him, her words “I struggle to remember clearly” just tell us everything about their relationship.

[@Sepia1989]

But after this, I think Buntaro reflects on himself and even made peace with Anjin. He became a stronger person than he had ever been, thanks to his late wife.

[@4rct1c9Ic3m4n]

Buntaro: We were happy Mariko: I don't have any recollection

[@rich_b_groovin1790]

This was sincerely, a stunningly beautiful scene. The tea ceremony was performed so precisely. From the flower arrangement to the calligraphy on the wall. Then for Mariko to offer a verbal slash to the jugular. To a warrior who could not put up a defense, for he knew he was wrong. This is his find out moment. They both delivered a powerful performance.

[@gb3376]

[@jonlava173]

How could I forgot. The second time Buntaro tries to do the honorable thing, but even an elegant cup of green tea 🍵 cannot repair the years of abuse Mariko has endured. He could have given her a new life years ago, but he did not fill the empty in her heart. So in spite of their current rather dire circumstances, the gap between them is far too wide to bridge.

I like how they only had Buntaro bring up sepoku after asking Mariko if she still had feelings for John to emphasize how jealous Buntaro truly is. That the sepoku offering is not out of love, but out of the fact that he couldn’t live to watch his wife have eves for another man

That's not Emotional Damage that's Emotion Beyond Repair.

[@John_Smith2302]

Episode 8 was an emotional experience. It was deep on so many levels and the title was poignant. The refusal from Mariko cut Buntaro deep and his fathers call for denial cut him even further. The way of Bushido was carried out in a total act of loyalty to ones lord. This is, without a doubt, one of the best depictions of feudal Japan in an historical context.

[@DrCruel]

Hiromatsu wants to save his son from further anguish, but Lord Toronaga is wiser. This is why Toronaga tolerates the relationship and even acts to aggravate it by introducing the gaijin barbarian. Mariko utterly despises Buntaro, and uses Anjin-san as a tool to torture him mercilessly. This unending misery aids Buntaro in his quest along the bushi-do, by making him eternally furious and longing for death. Thus he becomes a formidable samurai warrior.

[@jejelerider3278]

So sad the writers decided to kill hiro-matsu instead of a « noname » samurai like in the book. This tea scene was great, in the book she refuse more because of is duty for her lord (toranaga asked her to go to Osaka.) and it make the scene better. In this show scene she seems mean.

To me, this was one of the saddest scenes of the series so far. So much bitterness and hopelessness in their "marriage." I do think Buntaro is culpable for all the abuse he put Mariko through: he is an oddly competent jackass. But I also felt pity for him here.

[@jenkins5265]

Yah there’s something so tragic about them. He does love her, but shows it in all the wrong ways, if at all. She resents him for his actions, but deeper than that, she resents the marriage itself and lack of choice. Doomed from the start.

[@andrewalvarez4975]

Buntaro is how he is because of Mariko. She never loved him and let him know every day of their marriage by having a stone cold face all the time. She hated him because of her own inability to see why her father made sure she was sparred. He became how he is acts towards now because of having a no love wife constantly ask to be allowed to kill herself but now it’s oh your too stupid to see I just wanted to be rid of you. This episode is the first time I finally feel bad for buntaro and now hate how self centered mariko has been this whole time. Very tragic writing and believe even John deserves better than her.

[@tashaglam4824]

This scene is so tragic because this just sets in how broken and hopeless this marriage is. A possessive and abusive husband whose ego over years kept denying his wife the only desire she ever wanted and a wife who was never interested in her marriage.

The scroll on the wall would have been chosen by Buntaro to suit the occasion. It says 柳緑花紅, "the willow is green, the flower is red," which is a quote from the 11th century Chinese poet and intellectual Su Shi. The full quote is 柳緑花紅、真面目, which means more or less "The willow is green, the flower is red, things are they are is the truth," which is a perfect encapsulation of his attempt to be honest with her backfiring as she is just a honest with him.

No he didn't want to protect her. It was a final attempt to keep her as his, to try and fix the damage but it was too late

Love? Lol. Yeah, you can also feel that love on the bruises on her face.

​@@soldiers3v3nBullshit. He's the only likeable character with personality, and heart I've seen so far. The rest are self absorbed and cold.

[@soldiers3v3n]

@vincentdc211 I didn't say he had no feeling. Yeah I bet it did hurt to have the consequences of his actions. That's life yet seeing that he would continue in his suffering and eventually she may be his wife but she's not his and he knows it. So why not try to regain his honor and his wife by taking her to death with him. But it wasn't done for her. That's why she wouldn't. I don't fault him for trying tho.

I think why this offended Mariko so deeply is that she likely longed for a happy relationship or her own death for long before blackthorn came into her life. So, to see buntaro only offer her respite as a way to control her probably really drove her mad. He asks first about blackthorn, and upon hearing her silence, he offers death. It was the last control her had over her. She saw it for what it was.
