Propaganda

An edict on compassion for living things... that carries a death penalty...

Makes me wonder if there was any statistical, medical, poetic, or anecdote document of that period. That covers the raise of illnesses(dengue, malaria, etc) that is a direct and indirect result of the law. I assume that law was a result of Buddhists idea. That all living creatures is or might be a reincarnation of another person. Or Shinto idea that gods can reside in insects or there's a old Shinto god governing mosquitoes. Plus the Tokugawa era elite's apathy or ignorance of the common man's circumstances. "Left many citizens on edge." That I agree with since mosquitoes bring diseases. And a group of them stinging on a person or group of people is miserably annoying to an outright plague.

Unalived?

Which was broken on Dec 7th.

Could I BE anymore of an end to the isolationist era of Japan?

Moeka Hoshi's acting as Fuji is miles above the one from the 1980's version. Aside from being cuter, her nuanced "eye-acting" and face micro-expressions impressed a lot of people, and made her a fan favorite.

I just got one of these from my friend that she got from japan this summer. I wanted to learn some more about it because i never heard of it before. Its cool 😁

De liefde means the love

Immigrated to Ireland in the 1800s?

He just kept going west

The OG weeb

He also wrote one symphony for eternity: Discord 🙏🎵

Well, I have read the book, and seen the 1980 version... I also thought that Hiromi Senno was cute in her role, although she had only a small part, compared to Moeka Hoshi.... When this 2024 version started, I was not impressed with ANY of the ensemble... But when Fujiko pointed the gun.... Suddenly we all fell in love with her... As the episodes went along, it seems that, worldwide, we all found her to be very cute...If she became a nun, then, maybe in a second season, Blackthorne can petition Toranaga, to let Fujiko become his wife, and Blackthorne promise to stay in Japan, and supervise the building of a fleet of Western style ships....This would conform to what is known about Adams... At least, this way, we would all be charmed again by Fujiko...

Hey Walt! I'm obsessed with Queen Himiko a bit. Would you have advice for where to start reading more to figure out who she really was? :)

60 duels? Really? I just watched the 12 episodes series. Outstanding to know previously what happen, after reading the Eiji Yoshikawa books. The most Impressive was to have a notion of despite how highly skilled Kojiro and Musashi both were, how different their personalities and life approach was. At least this was way better than the books.

Hey this is pretty cool, thanks for posting this!

classic

Intresting

Walt, some more content on old Japanese systems of time and other related “day to day” things would be greatly appreciated! I think it’ll help modern people get a better understanding of how people lived and thought at the time. Nonetheless, all your content is good so please keep doing what you’re doing regardless!

Who else wants to be a movie about this guy

Fun fact liefde means love in dutch

I really don't see that much evidence that the Kumaso and Hayato are of Austronesian origin. Maybe they are a distinct Jomon population

And... Sucks that you give no backstory and you dont expound on the subject...thumbs down.

Looks like the Japanese saw right through the missionaries. They knew mission was colonization not salvation.

Might be a prequel and a sequel possibly 👍

My issue was when Anjin looked around for a life jacket, when they weren't invented until the mid 1800s

Have been at the site of the Hara castle ruins. Very powerful.

He gave up everything he have to keep his faith. He has a statue in Paco district of Manila. He and his people settled there. They called.the place Plaza Dilao (yellow) because the Japanese have yellow skin.

Oda Nobunaga was quite eccentric during his era, he didnt particularly follow many traditions like other lords at the time and was probably an outcast of sorts, and ironically i believe Oda may have even be infatuated with Christianity since everyone he knew was only brought up with Buddist teachings through their lives, it makes me wonder ironcally if the so called demon king of the 6th heaven may have secretly been converted into following Christanity for himself

Wow Japanese culture is very unique, keep posting sir you're doing great 💪🏻🔥

Interesting ,sadly jesus words come to mind " be wise as serpents and gentle as doves" not wise to enter into unknown territory without prior knowledge.

I believe it was 1607 when Japan took it over.

St Francis Xavier is our protector as his remains rest in Goa . thank you for sharing this side of his travel story

Negotiating the first treaties!? You mean when you sent warships to Japan saying 'open up your ports or we'll shell you'!? Is that how you see history!? No wonder the rest of the world despise you.

I have found it mentioned in a few places that Akechi may be being rexamined and that the term "traitor" may be unjust. It is said that Oda Nobunaga did not fulfill his own duties towards his vassals, specifically Akechi. There is a tale of Oda Nobunaga using Akechi's mother as a trade of hostages for a negotiation with an enemy, in which Nobunaga betrayed the peace carelessly and got Akechi's mother executed by said enemies' clan. Thus, making Akechi's actions more understandable. Any truth, or fairness, to this perspective?

Someone brought the Roman coins back to Japan. Even though they are from the 4th century and the castle wasn’t built until the 14th century they could have been there before or in the mortar or the dirt that it was built with. Someone could have dropped them during their travels and that person got them through trade who the heck knows. I’m trying here,lol. It’s fascinating.

The funny and ironic thing is that the majority of modern day Japanese don't believe in God/s, not even there own.

Hi, Walt! Hi, Deanna!!

Thanks, I watched both parts of the video really interesting and so many facts I was not aware of before. Really looking forward to your new book when it is published

Nice interview brother! Watched both halves. Good job in explaining. Still haven’t started it yet, but want to.

Hey Walt, thank you for chatting with me about Shogun and Clavell. Such an interesting chat and I learned so much.

Its not 1506....he went to japan in 1546

Apparently the actor playing Father Elvido learned to speak Japanese for this role alone, prior to that he had no background in the language.

Tough day. Wonder what would’ve happened if the rebellion succeeded

She died alone and destitute in hospital. No relatives came forward to claim her, and so the state had her cremated, and eventually an acquaintance placed her ashes with her deceased mother. It's a truly sad story, and shows us what a cold and heartless industry she was a part of.
