1
00:00:11,462 --> 00:00:21,280
From time immemorial the Emperor
has commanded supreme respect.
2
00:00:21,853 --> 00:00:25,768
The people revered and bowed before
the elegance of the Court.
3
00:00:26,144 --> 00:00:31,423
First under the Emperor
was either Regent or Chancellor.
4
00:00:31,658 --> 00:00:33,062
These positions were filled by turns by:
5
00:00:33,265 --> 00:00:36,676
the Konoe, Takatsuka, Kujo,
Nijo, and Ichijo.
6
00:00:36,902 --> 00:00:39,342
These were the Five Fujiwara Houses.
7
00:00:39,683 --> 00:00:42,920
Samurai were originally guards
who protected the Palace.
8
00:00:43,780 --> 00:00:46,483
But from the Heian Era (9th Century),
9
00:00:46,912 --> 00:00:48,497
they suddenly grew in power.
10
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:51,804
Minamoto Yoritomo
established a shogunate in Kamakura,
11
00:00:52,092 --> 00:00:56,344
managing all matters in
government and economics.
12
00:00:56,704 --> 00:00:59,740
Then, after gaining supremacy,
13
00:00:59,952 --> 00:01:03,377
Toyotomi Hideyoshi
made himself Chancellor,
14
00:01:03,615 --> 00:01:06,772
achieving the highest public rank.
15
00:01:07,937 --> 00:01:12,033
In 1604, Lord Ieyasu
ignored the Chancellorship,
16
00:01:12,033 --> 00:01:14,677
following instead the example
of Yoritomo...
17
00:01:14,985 --> 00:01:22,518
to become Seii Taishogun and
establishing a shogunate in Edo.
18
00:01:23,361 --> 00:01:26,901
This Seii Taishogun position
was the equivalent to...
19
00:01:27,173 --> 00:01:30,166
the Director General
of the Defense Agency.
20
00:01:30,473 --> 00:01:36,784
But, this Director General
held massive military power.
21
00:01:37,041 --> 00:01:41,536
More by far than even the Prime Minister.

Sire!
52
00:04:34,576 --> 00:04:36,385
Tokugawa Hidetada
53
00:04:36,670 --> 00:04:37,704
Has it been born?!
54
00:04:38,016 --> 00:04:39,056
Congratulations!
55
00:04:39,439 --> 00:04:40,577
Wait!
56
00:04:41,235 --> 00:04:42,603
Say no more.
57
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:44,702
I must prepare myself.
58
00:04:49,056 --> 00:04:50,262
Speak!
59
00:04:52,247 --> 00:04:54,514
It is a young lord!
60
00:04:57,700 --> 00:04:58,998
What did you just say?!
61
00:04:59,448 --> 00:05:01,130
You have an heir, Sire!
62
00:05:01,799 --> 00:05:03,144
- An heir?!
- Yes!
63
00:05:03,715 --> 00:05:11,362
Oh, an heir?
An heir, you say?!
64
00:05:19,532 --> 00:05:24,406
The long-awaited son!
Great was Hidetada's joy!
65
00:05:26,019 --> 00:05:30,970
Of course, this child was
the future third Shogun, Iemitsu.
66
00:05:40,140 --> 00:05:42,019
Praise the great god, Hachiman!
67
00:05:44,112 --> 00:05:46,000
Well done, Ogou!
68
00:05:47,766 --> 00:05:49,426
Thank you, My Lord.
69
00:05:50,052 --> 00:05:53,250
Now my pride is restored!
70
00:05:54,290 --> 00:05:56,830
How happy Father will be.
71
00:06:01,567 --> 00:06:02,630
Ogou...
72
00:06:03,851 --> 00:06:05,428
Thank you!
73
00:06:06,849 --> 00:06:09,616
I'm forever in your debt!
74
00:06:15,021 --> 00:06:19,294
The happy news
reached Fushimi in four days.
75
00:06:21,856 --> 00:06:27,131
Hidetada has finally been
blessed with a son!
76
00:06:27,919 --> 00:06:29,039
Congratulations.
77
00:06:29,449 --> 00:06:31,117
Congratulations.
78
00:06:32,929 --> 00:06:35,007
Who is the mother?
79
00:06:35,246 --> 00:06:36,181
Ogou!
80
00:06:37,913 --> 00:06:39,594
My, even after the age of thirty?
81
00:06:39,956 --> 00:06:42,392
It was a woman's tenacity!
82
00:06:44,357 --> 00:06:46,230
Now the Tokugawa are secure.
83
00:06:46,894 --> 00:06:48,999
How relieved Lord Hidetada must be.
84
00:06:51,699 --> 00:06:53,059
- Father...
- What is it?
85
00:06:53,739 --> 00:06:56,211
Was a boy child born?
86
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:58,555
That's right, in Edo.
87
00:06:59,055 --> 00:07:00,217
What is his name?
88
00:07:00,864 --> 00:07:02,547
I named him "Takechiyo."
89
00:07:02,851 --> 00:07:04,399
Such a gallant name.
90
00:07:04,813 --> 00:07:07,375
I was also called Takechiyo in my youth.
91
00:07:08,006 --> 00:07:09,712
He has the same name as you, My Lord?
92
00:07:10,052 --> 00:07:11,730
My successor's son is the successor.
93
00:07:12,392 --> 00:07:16,275
It isn't strange to give
my childhood name to him.
94
00:07:16,615 --> 00:07:18,815
Not strange at all.
95
00:07:19,221 --> 00:07:21,347
Not strange.
96
00:07:23,974 --> 00:07:26,599
Osaka Castle
97
00:07:39,538 --> 00:07:43,547
A private notice came from
Chancellor Kujo Kanetaka.
98
00:07:45,071 --> 00:07:53,722
Ieyasu plans to make Hidetada
the next Shogun.
99
00:07:54,612 --> 00:07:57,512
The nobles are most upset.
100
00:08:01,074 --> 00:08:03,352
Were you aware of this, Katsumoto?
101
00:08:05,079 --> 00:08:06,576
I had heard rumors.
102
00:08:06,824 --> 00:08:08,243
Why were you silent?
103
00:08:08,542 --> 00:08:10,169
I wished to verify it first.
104
00:08:10,449 --> 00:08:11,806
You cannot wait to do so!
105
00:08:13,877 --> 00:08:16,924
He gave back the Toyotomi's
position of Chancellor,
106
00:08:17,573 --> 00:08:20,966
and now he means to establish
a dynasty of Tokugawa Shoguns.
107
00:08:22,129 --> 00:08:23,837
Can anything be more unjust?
108
00:08:24,687 --> 00:08:25,548
Exactly!
109
00:08:26,647 --> 00:08:31,521
The office of Seii Taishogun was
a temporary position to fight invaders.
110
00:08:32,842 --> 00:08:35,894
By making it hereditary,
Ieyasu clearly mocks the Court...
111
00:08:36,296 --> 00:08:38,802
and plots the downfall of the Toyotomi!
112
00:08:39,917 --> 00:08:42,380
It cannot be allowed.
113
00:08:42,659 --> 00:08:45,240
If I might suggest,
you must appeal to the Chancellor...
114
00:08:45,558 --> 00:08:47,757
to rebuke the Tokugawa
for their treachery and ambition...
115
00:08:48,112 --> 00:08:51,407
and revoke Lord Hidetada's
appointment to Shogun!
116
00:08:51,907 --> 00:08:53,893
Lord Kanetaka is our ally.
117
00:08:54,344 --> 00:08:58,785
That is why he has received
Sada as bride for his son.
118
00:09:00,984 --> 00:09:06,498
However,
though Lord Kujo is Chancellor,
119
00:09:07,024 --> 00:09:09,994
he is only one of
the Five Fujiwara Houses,
120
00:09:10,509 --> 00:09:12,697
and not necessarily friendly
with the other four.
121
00:09:13,223 --> 00:09:14,329
Right!
122
00:09:14,612 --> 00:09:15,725
Sir Katsumoto!
123
00:09:16,804 --> 00:09:19,069
Use all means possible...
124
00:09:20,069 --> 00:09:22,585
to stop Lord Hidetada's
appointment to Shogun.
125
00:09:23,188 --> 00:09:26,710
Ply the nobles with gifts and feasts.
126
00:09:26,976 --> 00:09:30,186
We must spare no expense.
127
00:09:30,991 --> 00:09:32,782
Yes, My Lady.
128
00:09:34,836 --> 00:09:36,528
A fine countenance!
129
00:09:36,947 --> 00:09:38,339
Congratulations!
130
00:09:38,838 --> 00:09:42,323
Thank you, Father,
for giving him your name.
131
00:09:42,808 --> 00:09:44,362
- Hey...
- Yes?
132
00:09:44,746 --> 00:09:47,899
Are you sure he has a little dingaling?
133
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:51,291
There is no mistake.
134
00:09:51,919 --> 00:09:53,760
Well done, Lady Ogou!
135
00:09:54,073 --> 00:09:55,809
Thank you, Sir.
136
00:09:56,296 --> 00:09:59,408
You had girl, girl, girl, girl...
137
00:10:00,293 --> 00:10:03,500
Four girls, and finally a boy!
138
00:10:03,755 --> 00:10:04,700
I was worried!
139
00:10:04,962 --> 00:10:06,744
Forgive me, Father.
140
00:10:07,244 --> 00:10:12,120
Now I can make Hidetada successor
without worries!
141
00:10:14,998 --> 00:10:19,496
Remember, Ogou...
Takechiyo is no ordinary child.
142
00:10:20,267 --> 00:10:24,104
He has been born heir
to the Shogunate!
143
00:10:24,769 --> 00:10:30,269
I shall remember and devote myself
to his training.
144
00:10:30,576 --> 00:10:35,622
It is best to leave his training
to a capable vassal.
145
00:10:37,616 --> 00:10:40,536
It is folly to leave the upbringing
of the Shogun's son...
146
00:10:40,895 --> 00:10:42,739
to doting parents!
147
00:10:43,149 --> 00:10:46,832
He must be separated from his parents
and rigorously trained!
148
00:10:49,216 --> 00:10:50,226
Huh?
149
00:10:53,117 --> 00:10:55,315
These two are different.
150
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:59,446
Gorotamaru and Nagatomimaru
are more like my grandsons.
151
00:11:00,330 --> 00:11:02,622
They are like extra additions.
152
00:11:03,819 --> 00:11:04,928
Straw dishes?
153
00:11:05,650 --> 00:11:10,446
Not "straw dishes."
That's "extra additions!"
154
00:11:13,095 --> 00:11:14,308
Now, Hidetada...
155
00:11:15,187 --> 00:11:17,079
I say again...
156
00:11:17,443 --> 00:11:20,540
There is extreme risk living
with your heir.
157
00:11:21,882 --> 00:11:24,331
Lord Nobunaga's mistake...
158
00:11:24,656 --> 00:11:27,761
was taking his heir
along to Honnoji Temple!
159
00:11:28,868 --> 00:11:31,578
If Nobunaga has kept him far away,
160
00:11:31,999 --> 00:11:34,388
both father and son
would not have died.
161
00:11:34,788 --> 00:11:37,058
The Oda line would not
have been destroyed.
162
00:11:38,319 --> 00:11:40,068
Most discerning, Father.
163
00:11:40,491 --> 00:11:43,160
I keep you in Edo...
164
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:46,253
in case the worst should happen!
165
00:11:46,676 --> 00:11:49,923
Oh, yes!
166
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:54,524
I've brought Takechiyo's
wet-nurse from Fushimi!
167
00:11:55,183 --> 00:11:56,346
Wet-nurse?
168
00:11:56,816 --> 00:11:58,410
An exceptional woman!
169
00:11:59,101 --> 00:12:02,409
If I may, we have already
chosen a wet-nurse, My Lord.
170
00:12:03,407 --> 00:12:04,553
Dismiss her!
171
00:12:07,019 --> 00:12:12,524
This was Ofuku, chosen by Ieyasu
to be Takechiyo's wet-nurse.
172
00:12:17,212 --> 00:12:21,599
She would later become Lady Kasuga,
173
00:12:21,948 --> 00:12:25,371
who held the greatest power
in the Inner Chambers.
174
00:12:27,914 --> 00:12:29,242
Come closer.
175
00:12:43,961 --> 00:12:48,590
I am honored and overjoyed
to meet you, My Lord.
176
00:12:49,442 --> 00:12:53,476
I am Saito Toshimitsu's
daughter, Fuku.
177
00:12:54,485 --> 00:12:56,505
Uh, Saito Toshimitsu?
178
00:12:57,293 --> 00:12:59,411
Former vassal to Akechi Mitsuhide.
179
00:13:01,405 --> 00:13:04,706
Tragically, he was defeated
in the Battle of Yamazaki...
180
00:13:05,025 --> 00:13:06,796
and crucified at Awataguchi.
181
00:13:07,828 --> 00:13:13,247
Belying Ofuku's appearance,
she has incredible intelligence.
182
00:13:13,621 --> 00:13:17,080
She formerly served
the Sanjo-nishi house.
183
00:13:17,694 --> 00:13:19,970
In addition to Court manners,
184
00:13:20,318 --> 00:13:22,276
she knows Court and military practices.
185
00:13:22,560 --> 00:13:24,099
Not at all!
186
00:13:24,483 --> 00:13:27,964
Moreover, in order to become
Takechiyo's wet-nurse,
187
00:13:28,286 --> 00:13:30,346
she abandoned her husband!
188
00:13:31,336 --> 00:13:32,999
Abandoned her husband?!
189
00:13:33,568 --> 00:13:34,965
She divorced him.
190
00:13:35,693 --> 00:13:38,775
Ofuku was Inaba Masanari's second wife.
191
00:13:40,095 --> 00:13:41,613
Inaba Masanari?
192
00:13:42,039 --> 00:13:44,335
He was Lord Kobayakawa Hideaki's vassal.
193
00:13:45,414 --> 00:13:50,213
Well, could there be a finer
wet-nurse for the Shogun?!
194
00:13:51,769 --> 00:13:55,283
Leave Takechiyo's upbringing to Ofuku!
195
00:13:58,099 --> 00:13:59,810
Thank you, Father.
196
00:14:09,432 --> 00:14:11,380
How very strange...
197
00:14:11,738 --> 00:14:12,398
What's that?
198
00:14:12,719 --> 00:14:14,915
According to this document,
199
00:14:15,192 --> 00:14:18,451
Ofuku saw the Kyoto Deputy's
notice board and applied.
200
00:14:18,685 --> 00:14:19,574
Notice board?
201
00:14:19,926 --> 00:14:21,811
A help-wanted advertisement.
202
00:14:22,109 --> 00:14:23,496
What did it say?
203
00:14:23,807 --> 00:14:27,374
For example, "Wet-nurse wanted.
Deluxe accommodations. Interview."
204
00:14:27,374 --> 00:14:28,757
Fool!
205
00:14:29,090 --> 00:14:31,678
Do you think they would advertise
for a shogunate wet-nurse...
206
00:14:32,010 --> 00:14:33,867
in a public notice?!
207
00:14:34,228 --> 00:14:36,138
Do you think they would
hire anyone off the street...
208
00:14:36,138 --> 00:14:38,289
without a proper recommendation?!
209
00:14:38,934 --> 00:14:40,566
Throw this away!
210
00:14:42,772 --> 00:14:44,257
- But Sire...
- What is it?!
211
00:14:44,849 --> 00:14:47,690
They say Lady Kasuga
was a peerless beauty...
212
00:14:48,019 --> 00:14:51,163
and Lord Takechiyo's mother, in truth.
213
00:14:52,157 --> 00:14:53,254
Lies!
214
00:14:53,658 --> 00:14:56,112
Here is her portrait.
215
00:14:57,276 --> 00:14:58,813
You watch too much television!
216
00:15:04,078 --> 00:15:05,276
Come forward.
217
00:15:06,700 --> 00:15:10,689
Hidetada selected four sons
of hatamoto (bannermen).
218
00:15:11,075 --> 00:15:12,756
Together with Ofuku's own son,
219
00:15:13,079 --> 00:15:15,363
they were named as guards
to protect Takechiyo.
220
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:21,573
I am honored to meet you, My Lord.
221
00:15:22,193 --> 00:15:25,261
I am Matsudaira Masatsuna's
first son, Choshiro.
222
00:15:27,117 --> 00:15:30,886
I am Mizuno Yoshitada's
second son, Seikichiro.
223
00:15:33,713 --> 00:15:37,485
I am Nagai Naokatsu's
third son, Kumanosuke.
224
00:15:39,513 --> 00:15:43,370
I am Okabe Nagatsuna's
youngest child, Shichinosuke.
225
00:15:44,962 --> 00:15:48,296
I am Inaba Masanari's
third son, Senkuma.
226
00:15:48,714 --> 00:15:50,241
Are you Ofuku's son?
227
00:15:50,758 --> 00:15:51,465
Yes.
228
00:15:52,528 --> 00:15:55,488
I've heard you are
all highly intelligent lads.
229
00:15:56,276 --> 00:15:59,392
As Takechiyo's future attendants,
230
00:15:59,864 --> 00:16:03,165
you must lend strength
to the Shogun's house.
231
00:16:03,485 --> 00:16:04,288
Is that clear?
232
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:05,909
Yes, My Lord.
233
00:16:06,655 --> 00:16:09,499
If you need any assistance,
ask Ofuku.
234
00:16:09,923 --> 00:16:10,991
Yes, My Lord.
235
00:16:15,586 --> 00:16:18,794
The child pages will serve
in the West Compound,
236
00:16:19,278 --> 00:16:22,968
eat and sleep together,
and attend Takechiyo alternately.
237
00:16:25,212 --> 00:16:28,266
Never neglect your school work
or martial arts training.
238
00:16:28,545 --> 00:16:29,095
Yes.
239
00:16:29,322 --> 00:16:30,580
I cannot hear you!
240
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:31,993
Yes!
241
00:16:32,550 --> 00:16:33,627
Good.
242
00:16:34,961 --> 00:16:36,474
You learn...
243
00:16:37,023 --> 00:16:38,704
through your eyes,
244
00:16:39,294 --> 00:16:40,585
through your ears, too,
245
00:16:41,668 --> 00:16:43,382
and also through your body.
246
00:16:45,025 --> 00:16:48,211
The most important learning
is through your body.
247
00:16:49,387 --> 00:16:52,402
What you learn through you body
is never forgotten.
248
00:16:53,758 --> 00:16:54,764
Yes!
249
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:00,637
You may have sweets
from His Excellency.
250
00:17:01,603 --> 00:17:03,246
Thank you, sir!
251
00:17:16,534 --> 00:17:21,541
Next April I will step down
as Shogun in favor of Hidetada.
252
00:17:22,946 --> 00:17:28,338
However, Chancellor Kujo Kanetaka
loudly protests my abdication.
253
00:17:29,594 --> 00:17:32,735
He says making the Shogun
a hereditary position...
254
00:17:33,087 --> 00:17:35,127
will ill serve the country.
255
00:17:35,482 --> 00:17:36,816
That's absurd.
256
00:17:37,872 --> 00:17:40,594
He has already forgotten
who made him Chancellor.
257
00:17:40,874 --> 00:17:42,551
Don't worry.
258
00:17:42,868 --> 00:17:46,420
I have already taken steps
in Court to replace him.
259
00:17:46,704 --> 00:17:48,115
Replace him?
260
00:17:48,487 --> 00:17:53,878
The Chancellor will soon be
friendless and bow to us.
261
00:17:54,248 --> 00:17:57,200
Courtiers are a naive lot.
262
00:17:57,656 --> 00:18:00,363
Lady Yodo is also naive.
263
00:18:00,734 --> 00:18:04,266
That's true. She has no idea
of how times are changing.
264
00:18:05,094 --> 00:18:09,428
In Osaka Castle she built a great hall
with a thousand-mat floor.
265
00:18:11,251 --> 00:18:14,267
But now fewer daimyo
pay their respects to her.
266
00:18:16,488 --> 00:18:18,147
Listen well, Hidetada...
267
00:18:19,165 --> 00:18:23,758
I have taken the whole country
and worked to secure our position.
268
00:18:24,722 --> 00:18:28,413
You must now sow seeds
and bring our house to flower.
269
00:18:30,224 --> 00:18:33,016
Organize the shogunate structure
at once.
270
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:37,433
Show everyone the second Shogun's
plan for governance.
271
00:18:37,753 --> 00:18:38,880
Very well, Father.
272
00:18:39,243 --> 00:18:41,357
Do this while I am still alive.
273
00:18:41,675 --> 00:18:44,028
Lord Hidetada has studied in detail...
274
00:18:44,292 --> 00:18:46,936
structures of the Kamakura
and Ashikaga shogunates.
275
00:18:47,339 --> 00:18:48,761
That is not enough!
276
00:18:49,109 --> 00:18:51,562
Study the governments of Ming China
and Korea as well!
277
00:18:52,301 --> 00:18:53,794
I have assembled books.
278
00:18:54,328 --> 00:18:56,449
Also, don't neglect falconry.
279
00:18:57,190 --> 00:18:58,847
Falconry is good practice for war.
280
00:18:59,623 --> 00:19:01,593
It bolsters flagging morale!
281
00:19:01,950 --> 00:19:03,686
Show the might of the Shogunate army!
282
00:19:04,152 --> 00:19:06,655
Never neglect the condition of the masses.
283
00:19:09,353 --> 00:19:13,050
Nobunaga's rule
only lasted one generation.
284
00:19:15,834 --> 00:19:19,414
Hideyoshi's rule
only lasted two generations.
285
00:19:27,556 --> 00:19:31,332
If the Tokugawa rule should last
only two generations,
286
00:19:31,643 --> 00:19:33,908
we shall be disgraced for all time!
287
00:19:35,532 --> 00:19:36,504
Is the tea ready?
288
00:19:36,835 --> 00:19:37,819
Right away...
289
00:19:39,630 --> 00:19:40,670
Sir Tadakatsu!
290
00:19:41,123 --> 00:19:42,597
What's the matter?!
291
00:19:43,034 --> 00:19:44,673
Are you tired?
292
00:19:47,789 --> 00:19:50,448
Forgive my rudeness.
293
00:19:50,706 --> 00:19:52,155
You must get some rest.
294
00:19:52,584 --> 00:19:55,468
Time waits for no man.
295
00:19:55,771 --> 00:19:59,404
As younger vassals enter,
older vassals leave.
296
00:19:59,697 --> 00:20:01,129
Having served Ieyasu
since his rule in Mikawa,
297
00:20:01,380 --> 00:20:05,135
Honda Tadakatsu fell ill and resigned.
He was 57.
298
00:20:07,551 --> 00:20:13,887
Then on November 10, at Court,
Chancellor Kujo Kanetaka suddenly resigned.
299
00:20:16,756 --> 00:20:18,087
What happened?
300
00:20:18,446 --> 00:20:20,815
I fear I don't know, My Lady.
301
00:20:21,759 --> 00:20:23,989
The Chancellor abandoned his position?!
302
00:20:24,958 --> 00:20:26,504
There is something afoot.
303
00:20:28,622 --> 00:20:30,965
Isn't there a way to dissuade him?!
304
00:20:31,543 --> 00:20:34,698
Lord Kanetaka has already
become a priest...
305
00:20:35,068 --> 00:20:36,857
and confined himself in his mansion.
306
00:20:37,254 --> 00:20:39,367
The situation grows even stranger.
307
00:20:39,901 --> 00:20:41,864
It must be Lord Ieyasu's doing.
308
00:20:44,223 --> 00:20:46,391
He has made the Court obey?!
309
00:20:46,878 --> 00:20:48,322
That's right, My Lady.
310
00:20:49,325 --> 00:20:51,627
The instatement of Lord Hidetada
as Shogun...
311
00:20:51,918 --> 00:20:53,880
caused disagreement
among the nobles.
312
00:20:54,219 --> 00:20:56,677
Chancellor Kanetaka
was probably forced from office...
313
00:20:56,935 --> 00:20:59,450
for disagreeing with Lord Ieyasu.
314
00:21:00,187 --> 00:21:02,226
Have we been defeated again?
315
00:21:06,927 --> 00:21:11,097
Thus, a heated rivalry raged on
between Yodo and Ieyasu.
316
00:21:26,501 --> 00:21:30,709
Toyotomi Hideyori
317
00:21:47,592 --> 00:21:52,633
In March, 1603, Lord Hidetada
arrived at Fushimi Castle.
318
00:21:54,290 --> 00:21:59,274
His Excellency will enter Nijo Castle
on April 8,
319
00:21:59,792 --> 00:22:03,323
visit the Imperial Palace on the 10th,
320
00:22:03,590 --> 00:22:06,901
return to Fushimi Castle on the 15th,
321
00:22:07,233 --> 00:22:12,634
and on the 16th,
be named Seii Taishogun by the Court.
322
00:22:14,837 --> 00:22:21,251
On April 17, Lord Hidetada
will enter Nijo Castle as Shogun,
323
00:22:21,669 --> 00:22:26,481
appear at the Palace on the 26th,
324
00:22:26,755 --> 00:22:29,393
and thank the Emperor
for his appointment to Shogun.
325
00:22:29,622 --> 00:22:31,249
I understand.
326
00:22:31,566 --> 00:22:33,841
The celebration for the instatement
to Shogun...
327
00:22:34,082 --> 00:22:36,389
will occur in Fushimi Castle on May 1...
328
00:22:36,653 --> 00:22:39,326
with all daimyo in attendance.
329
00:22:40,219 --> 00:22:41,733
This is good.
330
00:22:42,457 --> 00:22:48,454
My Lord, about the name
for the second Shogun...
331
00:22:48,454 --> 00:22:49,639
Huh?
332
00:22:49,945 --> 00:22:53,375
Lord Hidetada received his name
from the Taiko Hideyoshi.
333
00:22:53,850 --> 00:22:56,391
In honor of his becoming Shogun,
334
00:22:56,656 --> 00:23:00,744
why not change Lord Hidetada's
name to "Ietada?"
335
00:23:01,173 --> 00:23:05,095
Humm, Tokugawa Ietada?
336
00:23:09,928 --> 00:23:12,896
If he receives part of your name,
My Lord,
337
00:23:13,173 --> 00:23:18,848
the world will know that
the Shogun is a hereditary seat.
338
00:23:20,145 --> 00:23:21,802
Tenkai, What do you think?
339
00:23:24,601 --> 00:23:28,276
It is not necessary to change the name.
340
00:23:30,120 --> 00:23:33,973
It is not good to carelessly
change a name...
341
00:23:34,272 --> 00:23:37,056
that was received
from a high personage.
342
00:23:37,847 --> 00:23:40,558
Returning the "Hide" character...
343
00:23:40,833 --> 00:23:45,058
could be contrived as treason
against the Taiko.
344
00:23:45,975 --> 00:23:48,514
In light of the situation,
345
00:23:48,772 --> 00:23:51,781
it would be wise to exercise restraint.
346
00:23:55,885 --> 00:23:58,087
That is quite reasonable.
347
00:23:58,476 --> 00:24:00,307
The character "Hide" has been given...
348
00:24:00,545 --> 00:24:04,697
to successive generations of Toyotomi.
349
00:24:06,025 --> 00:24:08,806
It is not appropriate
for a Tokugawa heir.
350
00:24:09,276 --> 00:24:11,014
That also stands to reason.
351
00:24:12,906 --> 00:24:14,656
What do you say, Hidetada?
352
00:24:19,151 --> 00:24:22,640
I will leave it to you,
the new Shogun.
353
00:24:32,519 --> 00:24:36,904
A few days later, Ieyasu's messenger,
Bishop Tenkai,
354
00:24:37,159 --> 00:24:40,152
visited Lady Kodai-in
at her mansion in Kyoto.
355
00:24:43,827 --> 00:24:49,538
I understand Kodaiji Temple
will be built in Higashiyama.
356
00:24:49,772 --> 00:24:51,781
My heartiest congratulations, My Lady.
357
00:24:52,140 --> 00:24:56,002
It was all due to Lord Ieyasu's support.
358
00:24:57,218 --> 00:25:02,249
Tell him I thank him with all my heart.
359
00:25:05,565 --> 00:25:10,911
I hear Lord Ieyasu means
to give up his seat as Shogun.
360
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:14,581
This is precisely why I have come.
361
00:25:17,879 --> 00:25:22,683
On May 1, a feast honoring
Lord Hidetada as Shogun...
362
00:25:22,972 --> 00:25:25,548
will be held at Fushimi Castle.
363
00:25:25,892 --> 00:25:32,136
His Excellency hopes
that Lord Hideyori will attend.
364
00:25:32,570 --> 00:25:38,567
He asks that you speak
to Osaka on his behalf.
365
00:25:39,659 --> 00:25:42,168
Lord Hideyori...?
366
00:25:42,527 --> 00:25:46,729
The appointment of Shogun is
a celebration for the whole country.
367
00:25:47,483 --> 00:25:51,117
All daimyo will solemnly attend...
368
00:25:51,573 --> 00:25:57,570
and offer the new Shogun
their congratulations.
369
00:25:59,232 --> 00:26:03,060
Ah, what should I do?
370
00:26:03,499 --> 00:26:08,471
If I may say so, Lord Hideyori's mother
would hardly allow it.
371
00:26:09,158 --> 00:26:14,097
But a refusal to attend
would cause unrest in the land,
372
00:26:14,314 --> 00:26:19,065
and prove harmful to the Toyotomi.
373
00:26:19,603 --> 00:26:25,939
I beg you, Lady Kodai-in,
please intercede on our behalf.
374
00:26:28,953 --> 00:26:31,688
I fear it will be difficult.
375
00:26:33,224 --> 00:26:35,344
Out of the question.
376
00:26:37,565 --> 00:26:45,070
They are all but ordering Hideyori
to bow to Hidetada.
377
00:26:45,503 --> 00:26:48,768
Lord Hidetada is his father-in-law.
378
00:26:49,114 --> 00:26:51,738
He is not Hideyori's master.
379
00:26:53,677 --> 00:26:56,818
Lord Ieyasu is the vassal
of the great Taiko.
380
00:26:57,178 --> 00:26:59,431
Hidetada is the son of a vassal.
381
00:26:59,880 --> 00:27:03,696
The appointment of Shogun
is a celebration for all of Japan.
382
00:27:04,054 --> 00:27:07,405
The Toyotomi are not ordinary daimyo.
383
00:27:09,242 --> 00:27:12,915
If Lord Hidetada wishes
to call himself Shogun,
384
00:27:13,241 --> 00:27:16,070
he should first come to Osaka...
385
00:27:16,415 --> 00:27:19,327
and ask permission
from his master, Hideyori.
386
00:27:19,999 --> 00:27:26,125
I am sorry, but Lord Hideyori
cannot possibly go to Fushimi.
387
00:27:28,649 --> 00:27:30,648
I understand, My Lady.
388
00:27:31,072 --> 00:27:34,530
Go back and tell Lord Ieyasu...
389
00:27:34,885 --> 00:27:40,109
A hereditary shogunate and
the opening of its capital in Edo...
390
00:27:40,821 --> 00:27:44,658
are not recognized by the Toyotomi!
391
00:27:48,199 --> 00:27:51,587
Soon afterwards, Toyotomi Vassals...
392
00:27:51,982 --> 00:27:56,074
Kato Kiyomasa and Fukushima Masanori
came to Fushimi.
393
00:28:08,827 --> 00:28:14,111
I am delighted to see
you looking well, My Lord.
394
00:28:14,894 --> 00:28:20,442
I am overjoyed
that you are so well, Sir.
395
00:28:21,206 --> 00:28:22,578
Come closer.
396
00:28:26,064 --> 00:28:27,847
Did Lady Yodo send you?
397
00:28:28,364 --> 00:28:32,800
No, we came on our own accord, Sir!
398
00:28:34,282 --> 00:28:37,408
Five years have passed since
the Battle of Sekigahara,
399
00:28:37,724 --> 00:28:42,268
and your rule has brought
peace to the land.
400
00:28:43,133 --> 00:28:45,633
I offer my heartfelt
congratulations, Sir.
401
00:28:46,003 --> 00:28:51,760
Also, you have always treated
us with overwhelming courtesy,
402
00:28:52,033 --> 00:28:54,520
and for that, we cannot
thank you enough, My Lord.
403
00:28:54,770 --> 00:28:57,394
What kind words.
I thank you.
404
00:28:59,242 --> 00:29:05,685
But lately, little cordiality has existed
between you and Lord Hideyori.
405
00:29:06,844 --> 00:29:12,118
Could we be mistaken in thinking
that you are rude to him?!
406
00:29:12,401 --> 00:29:14,558
Yes, you are mistaken.
407
00:29:15,100 --> 00:29:16,130
What?!
408
00:29:16,530 --> 00:29:20,616
I extend every courtesy
to Lord Hideyori.
409
00:29:22,536 --> 00:29:28,864
However, someone in Osaka Castle
distorts facts and spreads lies.
410
00:29:29,679 --> 00:29:31,259
Are you speaking of his mother?!
411
00:29:31,656 --> 00:29:33,586
I cannot reveal any names.
412
00:29:33,905 --> 00:29:37,604
My Lord, discord between
Osaka and Fushimi...
413
00:29:38,054 --> 00:29:41,696
is more than mere rumor!
414
00:29:43,284 --> 00:29:49,225
Since we were youths, the Taiko
has been extremely kind to us!
415
00:29:49,822 --> 00:29:53,513
After his death, you have shown
great kindness to us!
416
00:29:53,951 --> 00:29:57,056
But the ill feeling between both houses...
417
00:29:57,339 --> 00:30:00,682
finds us painfully caught in the middle!
418
00:30:01,273 --> 00:30:05,121
We can only hope for reconciliation!
419
00:30:06,838 --> 00:30:12,111
Reconciliation is my hope as well.
420
00:30:12,342 --> 00:30:18,359
But, Osaka says they won't pay
a congratulatory visit to the new Shogun.
421
00:30:18,737 --> 00:30:20,172
Why is that?
422
00:30:22,182 --> 00:30:25,762
I wish to ask a question, My Lord.
423
00:30:28,298 --> 00:30:33,302
Seii Taishogun is a
special position bestowed...
424
00:30:33,554 --> 00:30:37,941
to fight barbarians who
would attack the Emperor.
425
00:30:37,941 --> 00:30:39,533
Is that correct?
426
00:30:39,737 --> 00:30:40,611
That is true.
427
00:30:40,845 --> 00:30:48,805
In that case, just who are the
barbarians whom you expect to fight?
428
00:30:50,627 --> 00:30:56,879
I hope they are not the Toyotomi?
429
00:30:57,192 --> 00:30:59,719
Hold! Your question is rude!
430
00:30:59,719 --> 00:31:01,040
Silence!
431
00:31:04,506 --> 00:31:07,001
The battle fires have died.
432
00:31:07,337 --> 00:31:11,448
Peace has been restored from
Ezo (Hokkaido) to Kyushu!
433
00:31:12,588 --> 00:31:16,626
What duties are left to
the Seii Taishogun now?
434
00:31:19,065 --> 00:31:20,590
I demand an answer!
435
00:31:24,271 --> 00:31:32,129
It happens that Japan is not
the only nation in the world.
436
00:31:35,382 --> 00:31:41,983
Our present-day barbarians
are those who do not revere the Emperor.
437
00:31:42,300 --> 00:31:47,647
They are foreigners
who would threaten this land.
438
00:31:47,852 --> 00:31:48,721
Namely...
439
00:31:49,140 --> 00:31:51,822
Spain, Portugal, England,
Holland, Russia!
440
00:31:52,869 --> 00:31:55,268
Also, China and India.
441
00:31:55,618 --> 00:31:59,477
And, Christianity,
which does not respect our gods.
442
00:32:00,149 --> 00:32:04,879
The Seii Taishogun must now guard
against danger from across the sea...
443
00:32:05,304 --> 00:32:12,986
and be prepared to strike down
evil plots by all foreigners!
444
00:32:15,278 --> 00:32:18,037
Don't you understand, Lord Masanori?
445
00:32:24,842 --> 00:32:27,924
I have no time to be arguing
about ranks or positions...
446
00:32:28,321 --> 00:32:31,916
with women and children.
447
00:32:32,421 --> 00:32:35,051
Don't you agree, Lord Kiyomasa?
448
00:32:37,391 --> 00:32:41,580
Forgive me, My Lord.
449
00:33:09,429 --> 00:33:13,349
By Imperial Command,
450
00:33:13,676 --> 00:33:20,768
the aforementioned
is named Seii Taishogun.
451
00:33:22,633 --> 00:33:27,657
Thus, Lord Hidetada became
the second Shogun.
452
00:33:28,162 --> 00:33:31,042
He was 27 years old.
453
00:33:58,926 --> 00:34:03,091
Then, on May 1 a grand celebration
was held...
454
00:34:03,434 --> 00:34:07,532
with all daimyo in attendance.
455
00:34:45,455 --> 00:34:49,812
Thinking back,
it was a long road.
456
00:34:53,199 --> 00:34:59,299
As a child, I was a hostage
of the Imagawa for 14 years.
457
00:35:01,540 --> 00:35:04,665
Then, when I returned to Mikawa...
458
00:35:04,957 --> 00:35:08,377
I suffered unspeakable hardships...
459
00:35:08,959 --> 00:35:12,813
in order to rebuild the Tokugawa house.
460
00:35:15,511 --> 00:35:20,694
Under orders from Lord Nobunaga,
I killed my wife,
461
00:35:20,995 --> 00:35:27,957
and was forced to make
my son Nobuyasu commit suicide.
462
00:35:31,457 --> 00:35:38,890
This sorrow I must take
with me to the grave.
463
00:35:46,609 --> 00:35:55,248
I would like to have spent my days
in scholarly pursuits...
464
00:35:55,540 --> 00:36:01,482
and the appreciation
of nature's beauty in peace.
465
00:36:02,450 --> 00:36:06,749
But, I was born a samurai's son.
466
00:36:07,172 --> 00:36:12,773
As such, I strove to become
lord of my own domain.
467
00:36:13,499 --> 00:36:17,979
As lord of a domain, I endeavored
to conquer the country.
468
00:36:19,449 --> 00:36:21,122
Yes, Father.
469
00:36:22,515 --> 00:36:26,500
Conquering the country
was a monumental task.
470
00:36:29,729 --> 00:36:32,821
I resorted to threats...
471
00:36:33,642 --> 00:36:35,391
deception...
472
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:37,687
betrayal...
473
00:36:37,969 --> 00:36:40,042
and destruction.
474
00:36:41,818 --> 00:36:44,767
I raced through bloody battlefields.
475
00:36:45,907 --> 00:36:49,540
At times,
I said a crow was a heron.
476
00:36:50,427 --> 00:36:54,022
At times,
I used violence to bury men.
477
00:36:56,084 --> 00:37:00,085
One must be ruthless
in order to rule the country.
478
00:37:06,773 --> 00:37:08,772
However...
479
00:37:11,018 --> 00:37:16,468
Holding on to your power
is even more difficult!
480
00:37:19,868 --> 00:37:22,912
Daimyo throughout the country...
481
00:37:23,222 --> 00:37:27,344
are waiting for their chance to pounce.
482
00:37:28,893 --> 00:37:34,214
The Shogun's seat is always
in danger of being taken.
483
00:37:37,859 --> 00:37:41,827
In order to stop fires,
484
00:37:42,196 --> 00:37:46,065
one must take care never to start any.
485
00:37:50,718 --> 00:37:55,727
Every pore of your being must be open...
486
00:37:56,014 --> 00:37:59,466
to sense any danger.
487
00:38:01,506 --> 00:38:03,142
Lower your chin.
488
00:38:04,064 --> 00:38:05,681
Lower it!
489
00:38:11,373 --> 00:38:17,065
Your immediate problem
is how to deal with the Toyotomi.
490
00:38:18,020 --> 00:38:22,355
Lady Yodo objected
to your appointment to Shogun...
491
00:38:22,799 --> 00:38:25,845
and did not attend the celebration.
492
00:38:26,283 --> 00:38:29,166
Her hatred of me
has transferred to you.
493
00:38:29,851 --> 00:38:33,026
Her resentment of me
will be transferred to you.
494
00:38:33,425 --> 00:38:37,583
Your becoming Shogun
was a cause to celebrate,
495
00:38:37,968 --> 00:38:40,289
and yet it was not.
496
00:38:45,585 --> 00:38:47,425
Now...
497
00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:55,156
You must never forget this.
498
00:38:57,377 --> 00:39:01,472
In order to rule others,
499
00:39:01,912 --> 00:39:07,434
you must keep a demon in your soul.
500
00:39:10,300 --> 00:39:11,642
A demon?
501
00:39:12,578 --> 00:39:15,039
If necessary...
502
00:39:15,482 --> 00:39:18,315
you must abandon
even wife and children.
503
00:39:20,041 --> 00:39:22,218
Don't rely on kin!
504
00:39:24,062 --> 00:39:26,996
You must rely upon loyal vassals!
505
00:39:31,566 --> 00:39:34,660
I understand, Father.
506
00:39:38,329 --> 00:39:42,168
I chose you over Hideyasu for Shogun...
507
00:39:42,551 --> 00:39:48,793
because you are
closer to our hereditary vassals.
508
00:39:51,154 --> 00:39:57,057
You must never forget this.
509
00:40:04,297 --> 00:40:10,156
On reflection,
you are much to be pitied.
510
00:40:16,091 --> 00:40:21,021
Without dirtying your hands,
511
00:40:21,461 --> 00:40:25,042
you became Shogun
at your tender age.
512
00:40:27,046 --> 00:40:31,227
Though everyone flatters you,
513
00:40:31,813 --> 00:40:35,510
you still have much to learn.
514
00:40:36,039 --> 00:40:39,633
To me, you are yet a babe.
515
00:40:46,637 --> 00:40:52,734
If you hadn't been born my son,
516
00:40:53,207 --> 00:40:57,550
you would never have
faced such hardship.
517
00:41:00,997 --> 00:41:03,794
Not at all, Father.
518
00:41:08,544 --> 00:41:16,069
I could know no greater honor...
519
00:41:16,069 --> 00:41:19,528
than to be your son.
520
00:41:24,562 --> 00:41:26,143
Pour.
521
00:42:20,926 --> 00:42:23,779
"If necessary...
522
00:42:24,094 --> 00:42:27,204
you must abandon
even wife and children."
523
00:42:40,167 --> 00:42:43,867
To be continued
524
00:42:58,415 --> 00:43:02,719
To be continued
