His expertise in cannon gunnery becomes a valuable asset. But First, let's talk about the cinematography. The way the camera frames the cannon scenes is nothing short of mesmerizing. The attention to historical accuracy is commendable. The gunnery scenes transport us bsck to 17th-century feudal Japan. But beware! Toranaga's trust is shattered when an unexpected turn of events occurs. #englishhistory #japanhistory #historyvideo

I read Shogun while I was in saturation on a dive, I re=read it several times after that. I majored in Asian Studies and Literature. On my bookshelf behind me right now, sits the three-volume set "A History of Japan" by George Sansom. I am very familiar with the works of Papinot, Aston and Draeger as well as many Japanese authors. I speak and read Japanese. I am very familiar with Japanese culture, history and literature...so I know a little bit about the Tokugawa period ...go ahead and reply.

@@RayshiaRoman Yes but the Samurai did not have the experience of European warfare. We Europeans are really very good at killing people, we have been doing it for a long time. Japanese first battle with muskets was battle of Nagashino. Massed muskets, used against Samurai fighting 'old style' . The mounting civil war in Japan and the opposition of various feudal lords against the Bakufu during the Late Tokugawa shogunate led to serious rearming until the 1867 Boshin War. At the same time, technological progress was extremely fast in the West, with the introduction of the rifle, breech-loading and even repeating firearms, so that Japanese armies were equipped with composite technologies, with weapons imported from countries as varied as France, Germany, the Indians, Britain and the United States, and coexisting with traditional Tanegashima guns. The advantage of Western civilisations in waging wars.

Ehh, contained charges for flintlock pistols on ships aren't entirely inncurate. Flintlock were invented and in use in the 16 century, and if in not mistake this took place in early 17th. You're thinking of the more complex rifles invented at the end of the 17th century, which no longer relied on an external flash pan. However, those didn't see mass adoption until advancements in smiting made it economical some decades later

One of the silliest scenes. The Japanese daimyos of the Kayushu and Oda Nobunaga had been using Chinese style handguns and artillery since the 1520s. The arrival of the Portuguese in the 1540s brought access to modern firearms and guns. By the time Shogun is set nobody needed some shipwrecked English sailor to teach them how to use either.

@@Journey22405 This wasn't a navy ship, the best explanation of how black people could get to Japan is that ships that are far from home will sign on almost anyone to replace lost crewmen. This would not have been likely with the Erasmus because she didn't visit any friendly ports, but the Spanish or Portuguese would have taken on occasional blacks. Blackthorne was supposed to go to Nagasaki to find experienced sailors but it probably won't happen.

This is why hundreds of years of years later, Japan in the Meji restoration got smart and realized that if they didn't update EVERYTHING when it came to their military, industrialization, etc that foreign powers would rule over them forever. So they did update and by the early 20th century, they were able to invade and colonize a lot of eastern Asia.
