I've watched your full version videos of these individual characters. But I appreciate one that talks about all of them together. You do a very good job. I know the history of Japan and you do a very good job.

The military history museum in Lisbon has so much cool stuff, but my favorite section is its collection of weapons and armor from Japan and India. From this time period.

Emperor Naruhito is Gratia's descendants. And among other Gratia's descendants, there's a woman Tamao Hosokawa, she became catholic and her baptismal name is Gratia.

nice video

Being a Catholic, I seriously wonder if, The priest s, who had a vested interest in having a respected woman convert to Catholicism, wanted to make her into a bit of a martyr. Since suicide is against Catholic dogma, that they put out the idea that the servant killed her against her wishes. That way she stays, in the religious sense, pure.

William Adams' story based on historical facts is unflashy and uninteresting, so the novel "Shogun'' is a creation that surprisingly twists historical facts. Jan Joosten van Lodenstijn, a Dutch trader who was on board the shipwreck with Adams and who was also favored by Ieyasu (the district east of Tokyo Station, Yaesu, is derived from his name). Similarly, he is said to have taken a Japanese wife and had a child, but his Japanese name was 耶楊子(やようす)(Ya yohsu), which sounds Chinese, so it seems that he was not a samurai. Unfortunately, he later died in a shipwreck during a trading voyage (1623). Therefore, considering that the voyage at that time was very dangerous and that Adams could not hope for a wealthy life in Japan even if he returned to England, it can be said that it was good for him staying in Japan.

In the novel, it was very forced to make Hosokawa Gracia the interpreter Toda Mariko. Normally, a Jesuit missionary would be in charge. In that case, it wouldn't be a romantic development, so I think the author, James Clavell, was fully aware of this when he created the story. Therefore, Japanese people feel very uncomfortable. Just before the Battle of Sekigahara, the model Hosokawa Gracia had her husband's mansion surrounded by Ishida(Ishido) side's army. She refused to be taken hostage, kept her faith, had family vassal kill her, and set the mansion on fire. Since she was her husband's substitute while he was away, there was a sense of pride among the feudal lords, or her husband Tadaoki may have ordered his vassal to take measures in case of such situations. Ishida's side realized they were called coward and no one would betray now, so they stopped that approach, and in the end, she won. Gracia's death was about four months after Adams washed ashore, so it is possible that the two met. However, even if she learned a foreign language from a Portuguese missionary, there is no way that it would be English, and even if she is an interpreter, the setting is out of the question that the legitimate wife of a highly prestigious feudal lord would have the opportunity to speak with foreigners in public. [PS] Additionally, since Toyotomi Hideyoshi shot up to prominence by defeating Akechi Mitsuhide(Jinsai), he tried to make Mitsuhide even more of a villain and show off his own worth. There were many warlords who once served Nobunaga but rebelled. Other famous people besides Mitsuhide are Matsunaga Hisahide and Araki Murashige. Both of them have problems when I think about them as humans, so I don't like them. Although I cannot confirm that Mitsuhide caused the rebellion, there is room for sympathy, and there was even a drama starring him.

i'm a little confused why you choose that particular death of shingen.

[@historyprofiles]

It sounded the most exciting it’s one account of his death, however after reading his entire life story I will do a video on the the tiger of Kai with all 3 narratives of his death, pneumonia, an old war wound or being shot dead by a sniper.

I would like to briefly write about the basics in order to help people overseas who don't know about Japanese history understand "Shogun". First of all, you must know the word "下剋上Ge-koku-jo". This is a process in which a powerful person of a lower position or status defeats a higher-ranking person and takes power, and was accepted during the Muromachi period (1336 or 1392-1573) and the Sengoku period (1467-around the end of the 16th century), is a social trend that has been implemented. The situation in those days was harsh, where foolish, tyrannical, or incompetent feudal lords would quickly lose their territory, so such feudal lords were replaced, killed, or expelled. I think it occurred naturally because if they didn't do that, they wouldn't be able to protect the livelihoods of the people in that territory. This trend had almost disappeared by the time of Hideyoshi, when the war had calmed down, but it was because this trend remained that Ieyasu was able to take over the country, which was the model for Toranaga, and was recognized by those around him. The next peaceful era in which social classes were fixed became impossible in the Edo period (1603-1867). The daimyos(feudal lords) of the Nobunaga, Hideyoshi, and Ieyasu eras could never let the guard down even if they had served as vassals. Figuratively speaking, they are "wolves'' rather than "watchdogs'' or "hounds.'' If they are given chances, they would bite their masters to death. For this reason, those who were powerful enough to control the country were forced to bear a severe burden, creating a very tense relationship between them. Under the circumstances, betrayal and rebellion were common, and it was a matter of course that the punishment for those who committed such acts would be to kill all members of the family, including their retainers, as a warning to others. Ieyasu was able to take over the country because of the different qualities of their vassals and Hideyoshi's failure to succeed him. As Hideyoshi was an "upstart," he had no reliable and loyal old vassals. When Hideyoshi took over the country, his vassals were also promoted to daimyo status, but a conflict arose between these vassal daimyos, the factions of his legal wife and Hideyori's biological mother. In addition, although it was an unfortunate turn of events, his successor, his son Hideyori, was young and the coalition system supported by powerful daimyos from various regions was only a formality, so there were many opportunities for Ieyasu to take advantage of this. From the beginning, the whole country where Hideyoshi was the most powerful, was only obtained after Hideyoshi fought with Ieyasu and made the "biggest concession". In the Battle of Komaki and Nagakute (1584), which was a siege battle over a wide area that occurred 16 years before the Battle of Sekigahara (1600), the Ieyasu side, which was smaller numbers, skillfully concentrated its forces and conducted individual battles won. However, in the end, they succumbed to Hideyoshi's side, which tried to negotiate peace through diplomatic tactics. The "biggest concession" was that Hideyoshi unreasonably divorced his younger sister and made her a concubine for Ieyasu, in order to make Ieyasu take the form of vassalage, when Ieyasu was brought to Osaka, even his real mother was temporarily taken as a hostage to Tokugawa territory. If Ieyasu did not submit to Hideyoshi, it would return to the chaotic era before Nobunaga, and a third party would gain power, putting themselves in danger. Because of this situation, this peace was an "unstable peace'' that was skillfully staged by both sides. Ieyasu had always kept his ambition to take over the country hidden in his heart, so it was inevitable that he would act in this way after Hideyoshi died.
