I think the moment that I found the most interesting was the escape of Shimazu Yoshihiro, his uncle Toyohisa and the Shimazu army, a part of the defeated Ishida Western Faction in the Sekigahara. The retreat strategy of the Shimazu at that time was kinda dire, like the Western side had already lost and the winning warlords in Eastern factions surrounded the battlefield and positions once occupied by Western warlords. This means whatever directions to withdraw will end killing all the Shimazus. However, Yoshihiro was smart enough and realize the gap in number of armies blocked his possible escape route: behind his back, most of the Eastern armies just arrived, but this left the central army of Tokugawa lessen and spread out in a large battlefield. And he knew that since the beginning, the Tokugawa's Eastern army numbers were significantly lower in numbers compare to the West; so Ieyasu had to kind of "overspend" his troops for attack and risk the defense in the central command post (where Ieyasu sat and received reports from samurai underlings). And yeah, his action of escaping the battlefield by dashing the whole army into the central of the enemy's rank, quickly disrupted the army and ended up successfully withdraw (even though only hundreds, or couple only made back; includes Yoshihiro) was kinda astonishing. The strategy can only success if the army was disciplined, held their ground fast and adept to close quartered fighting while running. The Shimazu soldiers and samurais, which was known for their feat and experiences gained from the Korean Campaign of Hideyoshi; distinguished themselves in executing their lord's bet. In steps of execution, Yoshihiro forced most of his troops attack the central rank as fast as possible, to disrupt the lines of the Eastern Army Central. Then, the Shimazu troops kept fighting and moving at the same time to the directed retreat direction; which was from the open flank of the Eastern Army. However, as the Eastern army regained their formation and in pursuit of the Shimazu remnants; Yoshihiro gradually spent a number of troops, formed into combatant groups, and stayed behind the central withdrawing Shimazu troops to slow down the pursuit's speed. The delayed was so effective that the Shimazu troops staying behind even managed to snipe and wounded Ii Naomasa - an esteemed and close general of Ieyasu. The rest comes to the history: the withdraw was a success (eventhough only couples made back to their domain), the lord of Shimazu survived; some close retainers in his army managed to save their life (which were experienced generals btw); while his domain after the war was unaffected from any Tokugawa's punishment (thanks to his reluctant in joining the fight with other Western army forces of Ishida Mitsunari). P/s: this comment is kinda long but hope you like it. Anyway, the Shimazu withdrawal starts from 50:50 to 56:50. Just 6 minutes but in historical record; he was among the Western warlords who suffered the least casualties and damages from the battle. His lineage and generations continued to the Meiji restoration, with the famous "Satcho Alliance" that went down to the Japanese history once again; as the active forces that ended the Tokugawa shogunate and re-established the Imperial's power, Westernized the country and contributed much to the foundation of Japan's economic development in the end of 19th century - beginning of 20th century.
I could not have imagine the experience of the brutality and horror of what these samurai warriors on that battlefield was going through. The carnage and cries must had been numbing and deafening! I doubt that many a brave warrior had fallen because of a lack of courage, conviction, or martial skills, but rather had fallen from being made vulnerable because of sheer exhaustion! This Battle of Sekigahara was, as shown on this video, truly the epitome of melee combat! Thank you for sharing this video of a very important military event in Japanese history.
Excellent historical drama and tragedy, and very enjoyable to watch! They've portrayed Ieyasu very charismatic and nearly likeable. I've just finished watching the excellent Sanada Taiheiki, which was also from Sengoku period, and cause of Hidedate's delay! Beautiful quality and performance! I would love to watch more! Thanks for the uploading! 5 stars out of five! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟:)
I was watching a bunch of Japanese history thanks to the shogunate RUclips and channel, and this popped up on my feed, I'm less than a minute in and I enjoy it already, I look forward to watching the rest of this
This is incredible. It's like watching a Kurosawa film, only it's on steroids. Also, the sheer terror of the pikemen charging each other is incredibly realistic. History is made by bloody battles like this.
Before I watched this I was pretty firmly rooting for Ieyasu whenever I learnt about Sengoku history since he'd been planning his unification for so long but watching this made me feel bad for Mitsunari. This does a good job of making both Ieyasu and Mitsunari likeable
@@sukitron5415 He has also played Tokugawa Ieyasu in three different dramas for other TV stations. And other than Ieyasu, the Tokugawa shoguns also played eight times.
This movie beautifully potrayed all the events and allowed me to learn more about the battle and it also made it clear how the samurai and specific lords emotions before the battle and even during it lord tokugawa was very nervous even bitting his nails during the battle but they potrayed this in the nervous tapping of his pointer and his worried voice and even pacing. Great movie
@@edwardcrown3593sadly there won't be a season two it was based on a book written by an English writer in 1975 the end lord (toranaga) Tokugawa wins sekigahara and he buried ishido (ishida) alive as humiliation and anjin returns home to england , at the last episode they showed you how it ended when toranaga told his vassal yabushige before excuting him which transcends also to the viewer of the aftermath of the story .
For what i could see here, Ishida had a great military competence but wasn't politically prepared enough to keep his alliance united. Yeyasu stood at the opposite, he lost his principal army even before the battle but not only kept his army unite, but many generals passed to his side.
In reality, it was the opposite way around. Mitsunari's speciality was city administrative work, he could turn war-torn areas into beautiful thriving cities. That's why his generals didn't really like Mitsunari. Aside from being a bit of a pencil pusher, he was always operating in the back line so a lot of the samurai thought he was a Nothing-Know-It-All trying to do shit he wasn't meant to do. Tokugawa Ieyasu on the other hand was the military general and even when his army was late in Sekigahara, he managed to use what he could to win the battle :)
TV dramas and actual history are different. I do not believe that Ishida Mitsunari was the mastermind of the Great War. Ishida Mitsunari was a feudal lord who was taken over by Toyotomi Hideyoshi and was a politician at the center of the Toyotomi regime, but his own fiefdom was only of the class of small and medium-sized feudal lords with a population of about 200,000 people.
Ishida Mitsunari wasn't popular to begin with. He wasn't known for great military prowess, like Shimazu Yoshihiro or Konishi Yukinaga, he was more a court samurai, not in "imperial court", rather in the style he acted. His strengh lied in bureaucracy, not primarily in fighting. For this, he had, on the other hand, competent strategists like Shima Sakon or Gamo Satoie. Both of whom lost their lifes in the battle of Sekigahara. Though, it is generally thought and assumed that he and his men layed the foundations of their tactical ideas at Sekigahara, since, as shown in the series, Shimazu Yoshihiro had an entirely different idea on how to face the Eastern Army, which was supported by some others. And generally, battles are lost before they're fought. Otani Yoshitsugu, his close friend, remarked wisely that Mitsunari wasn't that popular to be around, for various reasons, ranging from little combat experience up to arrogance. Ieyasu offered grudged daimyō a nice alternative, since some of them could only benefit from removing the influence of the Toyotomi all together, allthough it wasn't uttered at first. To be fair, I feel emapthy for Mitsunari. Tough he may have acted arrogantly, his loyality is almost peerless, coming close to that of Benkei or Kusunoki Masashige. He tried his best, yet fruitless in the end. He is to be admired for his loyality and uprightness towards the man who made him powerful. A true example for anyone to look up to, in that regard.
There's a degree of pity to be had for Ishida, imagine holding the heights, having an envelopment set up and one quarter of your army refuses to move or follow orders and one half of it defects at the critical moment of the battle.
Ohtani Yoshitsugu is said to have advised Ishida Mitsunari, "You have no popularity," and "You cannot be the commander-in-chief, so make Mori the nominal commander-in-chief. However, Ohtani Yoshitsugu was rather pro-Ieyasu in his thinking. Despite this, it is said that he joined Ishida Mitsunari's camp because they became vassals of Hideyoshi at the same time and chose to have a close relationship and friendship over the years.
@@wadepsilon01 yes, as the story goes, during a ceremonial meal Otani yoshitsusu was hosting, a large bowl of sake was passed around for each to drink from. Due to his open sores though some of the puss from his leprosy fell into the bowl and everyone after him refused to drink from it, until it reached Ishida Mitsunari, who drank deeply and even complimented the quality and taste. This act of kindness and politeness earned Mistunari the undying friendship of Yoshitsugu and was one of the primary reasons he accompanied Mitsunari on the Sekigahara campaign despite believing that they most likely would lose. Sakon Shima as well accompanied Mitsunari in that fateful campaign out of personal friendship, despite also believing the cause to be doomed.
ultimately the west was doomed because of their infighting and distrust for one another. Only Mitsunari's core group was really loyal to him, too bad, the numbers were there for him, but his misjudgments on certain issues prior to this battle is what sparked hatred from veterans like Shimazu Yoshihiro
Ishida Mitsunari was a small to medium class feudal lord with a population of about 200,000 in his domain. Ishida Mitsunari was a feudal lord taken over by Toyotomi Hideyoshi and was a politician at the center of the Toyotomi regime, but his own status was not high among the feudal lords.
26:26 - this might make no sense in our culture, but to fight as a samurai was like fighting in cod today. It was about being at the top of the leaderboard, amassing kills, claiming feats, and making sure everybody knew. So this happened often, in fact more than that - all the time. People would shout their names as they challenged others and killed ranking commanders, to let others know "I am the best! Nobody can best me! It was me who killed the general." As well as proclaiming stuff like "you think you're man enough?", "I am the hardest here, nobody has proven me wrong." It's a tiny detail, there for only a few seconds - but behind it is a plethora of backstory. You can tell the people who made this really did their research. And if I hadn't known about this myself, it would've easily passed me by.
This is like a full series on Japan history that display on their television? I NEED to get my hands on subtitled stuff like this man!!!!! GIVE ME MORE I NEED MORE HISTORY I NEEED MORE HIIIIIIIIIIISTORY
There's a lot of good ones, like Yoshitsune, Dokuganryu Masamune and this one Aoi Tokugawa Sandai. There's also a few RUclipsrs covering it here like the Shogunate and Buyuden Japanese history. There's also a subbed clip from the drama Hojo Tokimune floating around on RUclips you should be able to find it by searching Mongol invasions of Japan
Yes. There were the Siege of Osaka later, but then the Shogunate was already stablished and there was no chance of getting back. This was the most important battle on feudal Japan.
Not quite. Ieyasu still had to remove Hideyori as a potential rival, which his son and heir accomplished as titular Shogun in the summer siege of Osaka Castle of 1615. After that, it was smooth sailing for the Tokugawa Shoguns until the Americans showed up with warships in the 1850s and forced the country to open to the West. A decade later, the Tokugawa Shogunate failed and the Meiji Restoration came into being. The Tokugawa Shogunate lasted from 1603 to 1868, a period of 265 years, with 253 of those years in enforced isolation from foreign influence.
When Ieyasu unified Japan, he placed the manufacture of guns and cannons under state control. Until then, private companies in Japan produced large quantities of guns and sold them freely to feudal lords. The era of guns in Japan came to an abrupt end. Ieyasu's government also constantly sent spies throughout Japan to monitor the movements of the feudal lords. If a feudal lord showed any signs of rebellion, the government would expel the feudal lord's family and replace them with another, more obedient family. In this way, Japan achieved 260 years of peace. However, in the mid-19th century, the two feudal lords furthest from Tokyo bought guns from the West and rebelled against Ieyasu's government. That was the Meiji Restoration.
Where can one find more? I'm mostly interested in the Osaka Winter Campaign and the Osaka Summer Campaign, but would watch any other parts of this series
If the Shimazu had displayed urgency earlier when Mitsunari asked for it, the outcome could have been different. Courage shown a few hours late and a koku short. Wretched Shimazu.
If Mitsunari allowed Shimazu do the night raid, the result of war would be different, he disrespected and humiliated the Shimazu, the same as he did with Mori.
Shimazu could not send reinforcements to Osaka because of the civil war in Satsuma, his territory. Furthermore, Satsuma and Osaka were far apart. Therefore, Shimazu's forces in the Osaka-Kyoto area were very small, and he had few troops available to participate in the great war. Under these circumstances, Shimazu initially intended to join the Tokugawa side. Another major factor was that the Tokugawa and Shimazu families had established friendly relations prior to the Great War. However, there were differences between them, and as a result, Shimazu reluctantly decided to join the Mori/Ishida side.
30:05, I wanna know what those white feathered poles attached on their backs called, looks sick as hell. If anyone would enlighten me what those are, please comment and thank you in advance.
@@gz2844 Thanks a whole lot, can I ask on where you get such information like these? While I'm not fluent on Japanese and all, I am otherwise intrigued on stuff like these in Japanese history. Wanting to learn these fascinating foreign wares, paraphernalia, and equipment, and even their names. I tried finding the signal flares seen in the film but I couldn't find any leads. Thanks again!
Mitsunari miscommunication of his ally, having a asshole like Shimazu and Mori alongside the coward Kobayakawa on his side is the key factor of Mitsunari Defeat Sanada in Ueda was pretty amazing by slow down Hidetada movement despite the inferior Number, hindering Hidetada Reinforcement to Ieyasu but it has little to no effect since Ieyasu Desperated gamble (Fired at Mt Matsuo) paid off and the Betrayal of Kobayakawa, Several Mitsunari General and 4000 Samurai Turncoat is what Ieyasu need to deal a Crippling Blow to Mitsunari and the Toyotomi by Eliminated their Key Member (Mitsunari, Sakon and Otani) Thus the Foundation of Tokugawa Shogunate that Last 2 Centuries was born, until American arrive and the Meiji Restoration Happen. Imagine IF Ieyasu was one of the General that Attack Korean and how it is going to impacted the whole Sekigahara, does Mitsunari manage to eliminated the weaker Tokugawa? Or Nothing Change and Ieyasu still winning the Sekigahara thanks to his crafty and cunning deception? Who Knows
kikkawa hiroie (a relative of Mouri) blocked the movement of about 30,000 soldiers in the rear of Ieyasu's force, allowing his troops to advance. It has been pointed out that this movement of Ieyasu's troops was a factor in Kobayakawa Hideaki(Also a relative of Mouri.) decision to attack the Western Army. Reasons for betrayal Hiroie has always been pro-Ieyasu. He felt that Mori was in danger of being made the nominal leader of the Western Army, so he made a secret agreement with Ieyasu (conditional on the survival of the Mori family). Hideaki(Nephew of Hideyoshi's rightful wife) was first adopted by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, but after Hideyori was born, he was removed as a potential successor and adopted by the Kobayakawa family. Due to a subsequent blunder, his territory was reduced, but through the intercession of Ieyasu and others, it was returned to him, and he was indebted to them.
@@wadepsilon01 well Mori DID Survive but significantly reduce in Territory alongside branded as a Tozama (Outsider) Daimyo alongside other Western Army Daimyo like Shimazu and Chosokabe but fortunately 250 years later the Descendants of Mori, Shimazu and Chosokabe create a Satcho Alliance and Successfully get rid of Tokugawa Shogunate as a Revenge for Their Losses in Sekigahara (Satcho Composed of Choshu from Mori, Satsuma from Shimazu and Tosa from Chosokabe) P.S : Hideaki die 2 years after Sekigahara and it was Speculated that Otani Yoshitsugu Ghost was haunted Hideaki to his dead (thus fulfill Otani Curse Hideaki for his betrayal, said that his Spirit will haunted him for the next 2 years)
I don't like the Tokugawa. My local is the Late Hojo (famous for the night raid at Kawagoe, called one of the three greatest raids in Japan: 100,000 vs 8,000). But I like Oda Nobunaga, Sanada Masayuki, the Shimazu family.
A descendent of Tokugawa Ieyasu 1543-1616 which is the last Shogun Tokugawa Yoshinobu 1837-1913 who some how out lived most of his enemies because he died in late 1913 his enemies died before 1913 also unfortunately Shimazu most famous Samurai Saigo Takamori January 23,1828-September 24,1877 died in the Satsuma Rebellion 1877 who involves the last Samurai .who is also the last movie character Katsumoto in 2003 movie The last Samurai based off is. look up Shimazu Tadayoshi 2nd 1840-1897 and Shimazu Hisamitsu 1817-1887 and Shimazu Nariakira 1809-1858 My favorite Japanese Family are The Tokugawa , Hosokawa and the Shimazu.

26:26 - this might make no sense in our culture, but to fight as a samurai was like fighting in cod today. It was about being at the top of the leaderboard, amassing kills, claiming feats, and making sure everybody knew.
So this happened often, in fact more than that - all the time. People would shout their names as they challenged others and killed ranking commanders, to let others know "I am the best! Nobody can best me! It was me who killed the general."
As well as proclaiming stuff like "you think you're man enough?", "I am the hardest here, nobody has proven me wrong."
It's a tiny detail, there for only a few seconds - but behind it is a plethora of backstory. You can tell the people who made this really did their research. And if I hadn't known about this myself, it would've easily passed me by.
Sekighahara was as significant a battle to the Japanese as Hastings was to the English or Gettysburg was to the United States.
Don't forget Valley Forge, too: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valley_Forge

Excellent movie history! Arigato.🇬🇧🏴
忠義も裏切りも
勝利も敗北も
栄光も落日も
この関ヶ原の戦いにおいて全てが繋がり内包されて凝縮されている
だから日本史は好きなんだよ
This is like a full series on Japan history that display on their television? I NEED to get my hands on subtitled stuff like this man!!!!! GIVE ME MORE I NEED MORE HISTORY
I NEEED MORE HIIIIIIIIIIISTORY
There's a lot of good ones, like Yoshitsune, Dokuganryu Masamune and this one Aoi Tokugawa Sandai. There's also a few RUclipsrs covering it here like the Shogunate and Buyuden Japanese history. There's also a subbed clip from the drama Hojo Tokimune floating around on RUclips you should be able to find it by searching Mongol invasions of Japan
Fantastic film.
Amazing directing and acting
I think banner maker was a very profitable business in medieval Japan

11:21 I love this BGM
脚本のジェームズ三木さんは原哲夫漫画『影武者!徳川家康』の大ファンを公言。随所にモチーフが
初回からクライマックスなんよなw
三成ば迂闊すぎる。
大垣城にこもって長期戦に持ち込み、大阪の秀頼か毛利輝元の出馬を促すべきだった。
待てば、西国最強の立花宗茂の部隊なども到着するし
奥州では伊達政宗
九州では黒田官兵衛が不穏な動きを始める。
三成ばやはり天下取りの器ではない。
Impressive...🙏
What a battle !
この大河では、小説「群雲、関ヶ原へ」の合戦描写を採用してるね
the Soap Opera effect from the higher framrate makes this look like AI nightmare fuel.
葵徳川三代ですね、初回に時間延長でいきなり関ヶ原でした
二話は秀吉死去から始めてあらためて関ヶ原やりましたね
流行りのイケメン俳優使ったり、言葉を現代風にしてクソつまらなくなった現代の大河ドラマとは大違い。
ただ、島左近の討死のシーンはもっとなんとかならんものか…
海外の人間の書き込みの多さに驚いた🙀
Hope you could share the complete movie " shotgun" ( with English subtitles) where Tokugawa is the hero. Tyvm

It was good . I know the history and could follow it . This was the start of 200 years of peace ?
Yes. There were the Siege of Osaka later, but then the Shogunate was already stablished and there was no chance of getting back. This was the most important battle on feudal Japan.
Not quite. Ieyasu still had to remove Hideyori as a potential rival, which his son and heir accomplished as titular Shogun in the summer siege of Osaka Castle of 1615. After that, it was smooth sailing for the Tokugawa Shoguns until the Americans showed up with warships in the 1850s and forced the country to open to the West. A decade later, the Tokugawa Shogunate failed and the Meiji Restoration came into being. The Tokugawa Shogunate lasted from 1603 to 1868, a period of 265 years, with 253 of those years in enforced isolation from foreign influence.
When Ieyasu unified Japan, he placed the manufacture of guns and cannons under state control.
Until then, private companies in Japan produced large quantities of guns and sold them freely to feudal lords.
The era of guns in Japan came to an abrupt end.
Ieyasu's government also constantly sent spies throughout Japan to monitor the movements of the feudal lords.
If a feudal lord showed any signs of rebellion, the government would expel the feudal lord's family and replace them with another, more obedient family.
In this way, Japan achieved 260 years of peace.
However, in the mid-19th century, the two feudal lords furthest from Tokyo bought guns from the West and rebelled against Ieyasu's government.
That was the Meiji Restoration.

If the Shimazu had displayed urgency earlier when Mitsunari asked for it, the outcome could have been different. Courage shown a few hours late and a koku short. Wretched Shimazu.
If Mitsunari allowed Shimazu do the night raid, the result of war would be different, he disrespected and humiliated the Shimazu, the same as he did with Mori.
Shimazu could not send reinforcements to Osaka because of the civil war in Satsuma, his territory.
Furthermore, Satsuma and Osaka were far apart.
Therefore, Shimazu's forces in the Osaka-Kyoto area were very small, and he had few troops available to participate in the great war.
Under these circumstances, Shimazu initially intended to join the Tokugawa side.
Another major factor was that the Tokugawa and Shimazu families had established friendly relations prior to the Great War.
However, there were differences between them, and as a result, Shimazu reluctantly decided to join the Mori/Ishida side.
What kinda total war game is this? Thats so realistic!!!

@@gz2844 Thanks a whole lot, can I ask on where you get such information like these? While I'm not fluent on Japanese and all, I am otherwise intrigued on stuff like these in Japanese history. Wanting to learn these fascinating foreign wares, paraphernalia, and equipment, and even their names. I tried finding the signal flares seen in the film but I couldn't find any leads.
Thanks again!
Sorry if I'm asking too much..
どうする家康がショボ過ぎる😢
ショボい以前にホームドラマだよね。中国も韓国も嫌いだけどちゃんと歴史感あるドラマ作ってるのは見習う。日本の歴史もっと掘り下げて欲しいし、小さい島国だけど百年以上内戦状態なんだよね。
ショボかったけど、最終回の真田信繁の突撃は好きなんだよなぁ。(あれも暗転した間に何が起こったか意味不明だがw)
High dramatic end toyotomi family mitsunari loses.
1:28
Mitsunari miscommunication of his ally, having a asshole like Shimazu and Mori alongside the coward Kobayakawa on his side is the key factor of Mitsunari Defeat
Sanada in Ueda was pretty amazing by slow down Hidetada movement despite the inferior Number, hindering Hidetada Reinforcement to Ieyasu but it has little to no effect since Ieyasu Desperated gamble (Fired at Mt Matsuo) paid off and the Betrayal of Kobayakawa, Several Mitsunari General and 4000 Samurai Turncoat is what Ieyasu need to deal a Crippling Blow to Mitsunari and the Toyotomi by Eliminated their Key Member (Mitsunari, Sakon and Otani) Thus the Foundation of Tokugawa Shogunate that Last 2 Centuries was born, until American arrive and the Meiji Restoration Happen.
Imagine IF Ieyasu was one of the General that Attack Korean and how it is going to impacted the whole Sekigahara, does Mitsunari manage to eliminated the weaker Tokugawa? Or Nothing Change and Ieyasu still winning the Sekigahara thanks to his crafty and cunning deception? Who Knows
kikkawa hiroie (a relative of Mouri) blocked the movement of about 30,000 soldiers in the rear of Ieyasu's force, allowing his troops to advance.
It has been pointed out that this movement of Ieyasu's troops was a factor in Kobayakawa Hideaki(Also a relative of Mouri.) decision to attack the Western Army.
Reasons for betrayal
Hiroie has always been pro-Ieyasu.
He felt that Mori was in danger of being made the nominal leader of the Western Army, so he made a secret agreement with Ieyasu (conditional on the survival of the Mori family).
Hideaki(Nephew of Hideyoshi's rightful wife) was first adopted by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, but after Hideyori was born, he was removed as a potential successor and adopted by the Kobayakawa family.
Due to a subsequent blunder, his territory was reduced, but through the intercession of Ieyasu and others, it was returned to him, and he was indebted to them.
@@wadepsilon01 well Mori DID Survive but significantly reduce in Territory alongside branded as a Tozama (Outsider) Daimyo alongside other Western Army Daimyo like Shimazu and Chosokabe but fortunately 250 years later the Descendants of Mori, Shimazu and Chosokabe create a Satcho Alliance and Successfully get rid of Tokugawa Shogunate as a Revenge for Their Losses in Sekigahara (Satcho Composed of Choshu from Mori, Satsuma from Shimazu and Tosa from Chosokabe)
P.S : Hideaki die 2 years after Sekigahara and it was Speculated that Otani Yoshitsugu Ghost was haunted Hideaki to his dead (thus fulfill Otani Curse Hideaki for his betrayal, said that his Spirit will haunted him for the next 2 years)
The age!

Can i ask to the japanese readers whether the Tokugawa Shogunate has a positive or negative image in the mind of japanese people?
Overwhelmingly positive.
Tokugawa ended a civil war that lasted nearly 150 years and built stability for more than 200 years.
何とも言えないけど、今の日本人と日本の社会のベースは徳川時代からですよ。
I don't like the Tokugawa. My local is the Late Hojo (famous for the night raid at Kawagoe, called one of the three greatest raids in Japan: 100,000 vs 8,000). But I like Oda Nobunaga, Sanada Masayuki, the Shimazu family.
A descendent of Tokugawa Ieyasu 1543-1616 which is the last Shogun Tokugawa Yoshinobu 1837-1913 who some how out lived most of his enemies because he died in late 1913 his enemies died before 1913 also unfortunately Shimazu most famous Samurai Saigo Takamori January 23,1828-September 24,1877 died in the Satsuma Rebellion 1877 who involves the last Samurai .who is also the last movie character Katsumoto in 2003 movie The last Samurai based off is. look up Shimazu Tadayoshi 2nd 1840-1897 and Shimazu Hisamitsu 1817-1887 and Shimazu Nariakira 1809-1858 My favorite Japanese Family are The Tokugawa , Hosokawa and the Shimazu.
