Inside the Ooku: 8 Concubines of Japan Shogun | Tokugawa Iemitsu

During the last Shogunate regime in Japan, Tokugawa shogunate, the shogun’s mother, his wife, his concubines and thousands of female servants lived in a place called the Ooku (大奥).
After Tokugawa Iemitsu succeeded as the third shogun, he did not have any concubines for a long time. Rumor has it that he liked man instead of women. But everything changed when his first concubine entered the Ooku.

I know the Netflix series will bring many like myself, that are curious about the historical fact surrounding the whole thing. Great thing, too, because this video is wonderful! Concise, but descriptive. detailed but not long-winded. Phenomenal job!!!

Japanese Emperors also had Concubines

[@seeleunit2000]

The concept of concubines is as old as history & has been around in many parts of the world.

[@josephtheemodel-rx8fp]

So its so different than Chinese harem rules After the emperor passed away the Empress n other concubines who have children will stay in the palace while other concubines with no children will have to be nuns or killed to be buried with the emperor Qing dynasty rule is better in my opinion where those rules were no longer thru out even though it was abolished in the late ming dynasty
