THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE KIND COMENTS. The interview was a great success. Frederik has been very helpful to me and has been very open about the process. I would like to get him more involved in the community we have here. Thank you to the Shogunate for hosting the video. Nick is always very approachable.

Absolutely cool awesome interview. Being a dane, I can remember what motivated me to interested in Japan. 1. Shogun , 2. A open-air museum exhibition in Denmark about Japan and showed rooms per era and 3. a friend of the family she went to Japan to studying packaging. Yes that was enough for her to get her PHD. More than 30 years alter I now still have to visit Japan. I saved enough for the trip :-) Happy as if I was 15 again :-). Thanks for this video.

As a lifelong history need, It gives me the warm fuzzies to see youtubers jlining forces with historians to bring these amazing stories to the public. Also, big kudos to the show runners for not being lazy and hiring (and listening to) real historians when reproducing historical events and periods. So many do not, and the product suffers, and the history is misrepresented. So again, pats on the back all around. Let's make hiring a historical advisor step 1 whenever they look to put history on screen.

18:45 it is recorded in history that the woman who fought was Acha, one of Tokugawa Ieyasu's concubines. She is one of the two models for 'Lady Kiri' in the TV series 'Shogun.' She participated as one of Ieyasu's escort in the only battle between Ieyasu and Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the 'Battle of Komaki and Nagakute.' It is said that she fought bravely equipped with a naginata and armor. Additionally, it is reported that she miscarried Ieyasu's child due to her participation in the battle. Acha also played a leading role in the negotiations during the Siege of Osaka, as depicted in this video. She was also present at the first meeting between William Adams and Ieyasu. In other words, she can be considered as the real-life counterpart of Mariko in the drama 'Shogun.'"

@nont18411 2 месяца назад

She’s more like an anti-Ochiba. Same levels of political skills but fought for the opposing sides. Ochiba is Lady Hideyoshi. Acha is Lady Ieyasu.

Ieyasu is more of a stark in my eyes. He does what needs to be done. But ultimately wanted the best for his people and the lands they lived on. I think it's why so many got behind Oda even though he was ruthless. The smart people were probably aware of japan dosnt unify, they will fall to a foreign invader

@mikotagayuna8494 2 месяца назад

@user-ey2mt8eb4r 2 месяца назад

With all due respect to Professor Crynes there were a LOT more inputs into the accuracy of Shogun that was not mentioned in this interview. He mentions the Anglo producers with out a single mention of actor producer Hiroyuki Sanada who brought over from Japan an entire authenticity crew working in every department including Akiko Kobayashi Period Movement Advisor, Hiroo Minami Martial arts and stunts advisor and many many more. Having worked in the Lighting Department for this show I think it would not only be a great disservice to Hero and the many great Japanese talents that brought the authenticity to this production in almost all departments to fail to mention or give credit to them but a great insult to the talent they brought to bear. One of those historical accuracies that was actually debated was that sea side towns black out practices with no light. Obviously, tv without light is Radio so..... While I'm sure it was unintentional, this interview came off a bit Anglo-centric.

@xXScissorHandsXx 3 месяца назад

Always the shotgun style concept with any spreading the word, hit as much in as wide a range as you can. Somehow, Anthony's reviews ducked my feed but your video here didn't which is strange because I tend to end up dovetailing you two in a small playlist for doing dishes and the like 🤷‍♂️ Just might be extra wise these days with the algorithm(s) reining over things, so whomever in your circle of people might have something pinging it'll help all of you like the community of the sword or shield. Been a long one, and I can't recall 🤦‍♂️ Have enjoyed your story format for long while and these are beyond a welcome addition to the fold 🫡

@joeyartk 3 месяца назад

There is one drawback to the heavy publicity about how historicly accurate the show is. That is that many viewers, especially younger ones, will think the events are basically true. They will hear that the main characters are based on actual people and not realize that the real person Blackthorn portrays never met the real Mariko character or that the real Blackthorn character wasn't even around the action after about the second episode. In an ironic twist, the pursuit of historical accuracy in one direction actually distorts the perception of actual historical events to many people.

So far the only sex between Mariko and Blackthorn has been when she thought Buntaro was dead. Do you think this historian with his knowledge of the real character's strong Catholic beliefs, had any input into this? (Although, her knowledge of Blackthorn being married would still make it a sin.)

If there's anything this interview proved, it's that you can tell a period drama or series is authentic when their producers, showrunners, & writers actually listen to their historical & cultrual consultants as stated in 16:53 & 10:47 . We need more of this against Hollywood!

@nont18411 3 месяца назад

16:58 The great response to those who called the show “She-gun”. Also 18:11 shout out to my Sengoku queen, Lady Acha no Tsubone. Out of all his wives and concubines, Acha seems to be a perfect match for Ieyasu because she could fight and she’s very politically savvy. The best part is that she’s Ieyasu’s lover who got into the most danger but somehow outlived Ieyasu for 21 years (and also outlived Hidetada for 5 years). Meanwhile, the stay-in-the-castle wives of Ieyasu like Lady Tsukiyama (killed by Ieyasu under Nobunaga’s order), Lady Saigo (died mysteriously, probably by poisoning) or Lady Asahi no Kata (died from chronic disease) all met their untimely deaths.

Yes lets bring in a white boy to advise about Japanese history?! LoL! Toronaga using carrier pigeons when carrier pigeons didn't even exist in Japan during that period?! Or that Blackthorne (whose supposed to portray the real life Adams) never even met Mariko (whose supposed to portray the real life Hosokawa). The original Shogun was only 'inspired' by real world events it was never a retelling of an actual historical event it was just events that happened in history that they loosely adapted together. All the new Shogun improved was historical visuals like dress, architecture etc.
