1
00:00:10,109 --> 00:00:13,785
On April 17, 1617,
a year after his death,
2
00:00:14,081 --> 00:00:16,940
Ieyasu's body was moved
from Mt. Kuno to Nikko...
3
00:00:17,376 --> 00:00:21,315
where an elaborate shrine-installment
ceremony was held.
4
00:00:21,628 --> 00:00:25,579
Roughly 30,000 attended the ceremony.
5
00:00:25,929 --> 00:00:32,212
Thus, Ieyasu was worshipped as a god,
"Tosho Daigonen."
6
00:00:33,300 --> 00:00:35,614
At the Toahosha on Mt. Nikko?
7
00:00:35,917 --> 00:00:40,465
That's right. It wasn't
called "Toshogu" until later.
8
00:00:41,144 --> 00:00:43,534
Why was the mausoleum
called "Toshoju?"
9
00:00:43,834 --> 00:00:45,881
To "shine over the East."
10
00:00:46,254 --> 00:00:48,726
As a guardian deity
of the Kanto and Oshu.
11
00:00:49,021 --> 00:00:50,635
They didn't care about the West?
12
00:00:51,851 --> 00:00:54,506
That's not it,
but the Emperor is in the West.
13
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:57,355
As was Toyokuni Daimyojin
(Hideyoshi's deity name).
14
00:00:57,664 --> 00:01:00,388
The "Toyokuni Daimyojin" name
was rescinded,
15
00:01:00,695 --> 00:01:02,852
and it was moved to Hokoji.
16
00:01:03,306 --> 00:01:05,181
It can't hold a candle to Nikko.
17
00:01:05,652 --> 00:01:08,358
Don't say that
without first seeing Nikko.
18
00:01:08,836 --> 00:01:10,588
That's what I believe, anyway.
19
00:01:10,889 --> 00:01:12,274
Why is it at such an inconvenient site?
20
00:01:12,556 --> 00:01:14,008
Don't you know?!
21
00:01:14,432 --> 00:01:17,183
Ieyasu was a hardened
war faring daimyo.
22
00:01:17,794 --> 00:01:20,964
He didn't believe peace
would last forever.
23
00:01:21,495 --> 00:01:25,449
If war should occur,
his foes could destroy his grave!
24
00:01:26,793 --> 00:01:28,807
So that's why he made it
high on a mountain!
25
00:01:29,198 --> 00:01:31,236
Nikko is a strategic position!
26
00:01:31,563 --> 00:01:33,157
Toshosha is a fortress!
27
00:01:33,559 --> 00:01:35,746
If Edo Castle should ever fall,
28
00:01:36,043 --> 00:01:38,419
we must hold siege at Nikko and fight.
29
00:01:39,873 --> 00:01:42,887
I, Tosho Daigongen,
will protect you!
30
00:01:43,183 --> 00:01:44,184
The great one!
31
00:01:44,550 --> 00:01:49,218
The Tokugawa shogunate is forever...
32
00:01:51,394 --> 00:01:52,873
invincible!
33
00:01:53,223 --> 00:01:54,467
He's possessed!

53
00:04:36,390 --> 00:04:40,719
The 2nd Shogun Hidetada left
Edo Castle on June 14, 1617...
54
00:04:40,986 --> 00:04:43,047
accompanied by various daimyo
and headed for Kyoto.
55
00:04:43,364 --> 00:04:47,375
It was to report to the throne
about the enshrinement...
56
00:04:47,701 --> 00:04:49,577
and to thank the Emperor.
57
00:04:51,150 --> 00:04:55,096
Hidetada arrived at
Fushimi Castle on June 29.
58
00:04:57,548 --> 00:05:03,816
The Shogun has come to thank
the Emperor for his offering.
59
00:05:04,435 --> 00:05:07,579
But he also wishes to discuss...
60
00:05:07,910 --> 00:05:11,519
the matter of Princess Kazu's
marriage to the Emperor.
61
00:05:13,392 --> 00:05:18,382
The match with Princess Kazu was
privately approved by the Court in 1614,
62
00:05:18,738 --> 00:05:22,701
and three years have already passed.
63
00:05:24,551 --> 00:05:30,989
Any further delay will affect
the prestige of the Tokugawa.
64
00:05:31,605 --> 00:05:35,473
We ask that a definite date
be set for the wedding...
65
00:05:35,847 --> 00:05:41,183
when the Shogun is received in Court.
66
00:05:42,737 --> 00:05:45,413
I am sorry, sir, but...
67
00:05:46,144 --> 00:05:54,074
the wedding with Princess Kazu
has been postponed for several reasons.
68
00:05:54,349 --> 00:05:56,188
One was the Osaka Campaign in 1615.
69
00:05:56,702 --> 00:05:59,353
And last year,
it was the death of the Ogosho.
70
00:05:59,731 --> 00:06:03,631
Both were events happenings
in the shogunate.
71
00:06:03,932 --> 00:06:05,917
The Court had nothing to do with it.
72
00:06:06,321 --> 00:06:08,898
Yes, you are correct on both points.
73
00:06:09,308 --> 00:06:14,620
That is why we ask that
the details be determined now.
74
00:06:16,023 --> 00:06:17,825
What do you say?
75
00:06:18,177 --> 00:06:23,616
First, it is important that
the Shogun appear in Court.
76
00:06:23,968 --> 00:06:27,171
If the Princess Kazu's wedding
is not formally decided,
77
00:06:27,675 --> 00:06:31,639
the Shogun will not appear in Court!
78
00:06:31,950 --> 00:06:33,195
That's impossible!
79
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,082
It was the Ogosho's dying will!
80
00:06:37,109 --> 00:06:39,275
I have heard...
81
00:06:39,607 --> 00:06:45,640
it is the Ex-Emperor's circle
that opposes the wedding.
82
00:06:45,887 --> 00:06:47,312
No, not at all.
83
00:06:47,641 --> 00:06:49,236
Do not conceal it, sir.
84
00:06:49,688 --> 00:06:54,843
The problem does not lie
with Princess Kazu.
85
00:06:55,683 --> 00:06:58,200
It is the formality of the wedding.
86
00:06:58,825 --> 00:07:01,334
Oh, formality?
87
00:07:01,946 --> 00:07:04,924
It is a time-honored custom...
88
00:07:05,280 --> 00:07:09,597
that the Emperor's bride
must be a daughter of nobility.
89
00:07:09,831 --> 00:07:10,920
Out of the question!
90
00:07:11,245 --> 00:07:13,049
Since it is the custom,
91
00:07:13,375 --> 00:07:17,603
to break it would be an insult
to the Imperial Ancestors.
92
00:07:18,976 --> 00:07:21,505
Therefore, it would be better
for Princess Kazu...
93
00:07:21,843 --> 00:07:29,989
to be first adopted by a noble
and then be wed to the Emperor.
94
00:07:31,182 --> 00:07:34,080
Do you object to
the daughter of a samurai?
95
00:07:34,351 --> 00:07:37,010
No, we do not object...
96
00:07:37,403 --> 00:07:43,075
To have the Shogun's daughter
adopted by a noble...
97
00:07:43,559 --> 00:07:46,850
is to place the Shogun's status
below that of a noble.
98
00:07:47,147 --> 00:07:49,124
No, not at all.
99
00:07:49,512 --> 00:07:51,480
Rather than be
embarrassed like that,
100
00:07:51,808 --> 00:07:56,761
we shall cancel the Shogun's visit
and return to Edo!
101
00:07:57,497 --> 00:07:58,970
Please wait, sir!
102
00:07:59,467 --> 00:08:04,245
Lord Takatsukasa's suggestion
only reflected the Ex-Emperor's feelings.
103
00:08:05,312 --> 00:08:08,465
It is not necessarily what
the Emperor believes.
104
00:08:10,169 --> 00:08:13,530
I shall take charge of Princess Kazu's
marriage talks...
105
00:08:13,808 --> 00:08:18,688
and approach the Emperor
on another day.
106
00:08:20,540 --> 00:08:24,298
We rely on you, sir.
107
00:08:30,546 --> 00:08:32,502
His Excellency is here.
108
00:09:01,908 --> 00:09:03,345
Raise your heads.
109
00:09:04,893 --> 00:09:09,942
We are honored to see you,
Your Excellency.
110
00:09:10,766 --> 00:09:14,497
His Majesty has graciously deemed
your visit to Kyoto...
111
00:09:14,897 --> 00:09:19,475
as extraordinarily praiseworthy.
112
00:09:19,909 --> 00:09:25,632
He hopes that you will appear
before him as soon as possible.
113
00:09:25,990 --> 00:09:27,491
I am most grateful.
114
00:09:29,892 --> 00:09:32,188
And, how is the Ex-Emperor?
115
00:09:32,824 --> 00:09:39,482
Unfortunately,
he is ill abed in Sento Palace.
116
00:09:40,176 --> 00:09:44,697
But he feels just as pleased
with your visit.
117
00:09:45,945 --> 00:09:49,183
Then will I not be able to see him?
118
00:09:50,374 --> 00:09:52,597
I regret to say, no.
119
00:09:52,989 --> 00:09:56,266
I am honored to be received
by you, Your Excellency.
120
00:09:56,941 --> 00:09:57,923
Thank you.
121
00:09:58,403 --> 00:10:01,252
I am overjoyed to see
that you are well, Your Excellency.
122
00:10:02,194 --> 00:10:03,298
Thank you.
123
00:10:03,698 --> 00:10:08,219
Having come in the midsummer heat,
you must be exhausted.
124
00:10:08,487 --> 00:10:09,914
Not at all.
125
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:13,217
Lord Takatsukasa...
126
00:10:15,206 --> 00:10:17,468
When Princess Kazu has been wed,
127
00:10:17,890 --> 00:10:21,736
your daughter's wedding must be next.
128
00:10:22,378 --> 00:10:24,194
Thank you very much.
129
00:10:25,216 --> 00:10:26,439
How old...?
130
00:10:27,424 --> 00:10:29,812
I am 53 years old.
131
00:10:30,284 --> 00:10:32,738
No, that is not what I meant.
132
00:10:33,084 --> 00:10:35,533
I was referring to your daughter,
Princess Takako.
133
00:10:37,636 --> 00:10:39,449
Oh, my word!
134
00:10:40,488 --> 00:10:43,022
She is sixteen, Your Excellency.
135
00:10:43,595 --> 00:10:46,119
Oh, that's wonderful.
136
00:10:46,578 --> 00:10:48,649
My son Takechiyo is fourteen.
137
00:10:49,736 --> 00:10:53,620
A man should always
marry an older woman.
138
00:10:59,394 --> 00:11:00,379
Toshikatsu...
139
00:11:01,552 --> 00:11:03,747
Don't I appear in Court on the 5th?
140
00:11:04,505 --> 00:11:07,156
Unfortunately, your visit
has been postponed.
141
00:11:07,506 --> 00:11:09,220
Huh?
I didn't hear you.
142
00:11:10,778 --> 00:11:13,526
Your visit has been postponed!
143
00:11:24,084 --> 00:11:25,122
Why?
144
00:11:26,495 --> 00:11:28,138
I'll explain later.
145
00:11:39,091 --> 00:11:42,598
Hidetada remained at Fushimi Castle.
146
00:11:42,971 --> 00:11:47,122
Ten, then twenty days passed, but
he didn't make an appearance in Court.
147
00:11:48,338 --> 00:11:50,251
A notice came from the Court.
148
00:11:51,321 --> 00:11:55,355
Yoshinao and Yorinobu will be
Vice-Middle Councilors, Junior 3rd Rank.
149
00:11:56,358 --> 00:11:57,843
Congratulations, Sire.
150
00:11:59,331 --> 00:12:01,258
What's so wonderful about it?
151
00:12:02,338 --> 00:12:06,514
How dare they attempt
to appease samurai with a rank.
152
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:10,043
Will the Court bend?
153
00:12:11,079 --> 00:12:12,612
Will the shogunate suffer this?
154
00:12:13,910 --> 00:12:17,174
It will be a test of wills.
155
00:12:17,826 --> 00:12:21,349
Your Excellency,
I have a solution to this.
156
00:12:22,232 --> 00:12:24,411
I refuse to let Kazu be adopted.
157
00:12:24,712 --> 00:12:26,352
No, Your Excellency.
158
00:12:26,689 --> 00:12:29,112
Since Princess Kazu is still young,
159
00:12:29,385 --> 00:12:31,966
if she will become Consort Candidate,
160
00:12:32,268 --> 00:12:34,215
it will save face for the Court.
161
00:12:34,552 --> 00:12:35,836
Consort Candidate?
162
00:12:36,114 --> 00:12:37,177
Out of the question!
163
00:12:37,958 --> 00:12:40,845
The Shogun's daughter a concubine?!
164
00:12:41,176 --> 00:12:43,241
A Consort Candidate
is not a concubine!
165
00:12:43,692 --> 00:12:46,615
If the bride is
not of Imperial blood,
166
00:12:47,066 --> 00:12:49,742
she makes her bridal entry
as Consort Candidate,
167
00:12:50,066 --> 00:12:51,680
becoming Imperial Consort
at a later date.
168
00:12:52,244 --> 00:12:53,913
It is the same
for daughters of nobles.
169
00:12:54,243 --> 00:12:55,710
The shogunate has
its honor to uphold.
170
00:12:56,034 --> 00:12:57,441
Wait. Wait, Toshikatsu.
171
00:12:59,526 --> 00:13:01,700
If she weds as Consort Candidate,
172
00:13:02,345 --> 00:13:04,169
will Kazu surely
become Imperial Consort?
173
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:09,513
Once spoken, the Emperor's words
are never rescinded!
174
00:13:13,219 --> 00:13:17,335
I fear it goes against the Ogosho's will.
175
00:13:18,418 --> 00:13:19,638
Toshikatsu...
176
00:13:21,255 --> 00:13:26,043
The Ogosho had Ogosho ways.
Hidetada has Hidetada ways.
177
00:13:28,198 --> 00:13:33,994
To clash over saving "face"
will serve the land poorly.
178
00:13:34,459 --> 00:13:38,125
Please understand the predicament
of the Emperor.
179
00:13:38,543 --> 00:13:40,797
He and the Ex-Emperor seem
to get along quite poorly.
180
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:45,323
They have neither met
nor spoken in a long time.
181
00:13:46,419 --> 00:13:47,642
I understand.
182
00:13:48,494 --> 00:13:52,855
I shall see the Emperor
and ask what he wishes.
183
00:13:54,050 --> 00:13:58,227
If necessary, I'll smooth out his relations
with the Ex-Emperor.
184
00:14:00,969 --> 00:14:05,794
On July 21 Hidetada was received
in audience by the Emperor.
185
00:14:06,169 --> 00:14:09,404
He gave thanks for sending
a representative to the Toshosha...
186
00:14:09,746 --> 00:14:12,746
and the Emperor's
generous personal gift.
187
00:14:13,329 --> 00:14:16,575
Emperor Kotohito was 22 years old.
188
00:14:16,919 --> 00:14:20,716
His marriage to Princess Kazu
was set for the following spring.
189
00:14:22,310 --> 00:14:23,973
This is Edo Castle.
190
00:14:24,301 --> 00:14:27,699
Princess Kazu, the object of the
controversy, was still only 11 years old.
191
00:14:28,765 --> 00:14:33,608
In the Court there are many
noble men and ladies.
192
00:14:34,732 --> 00:14:37,100
In order to please the Emperor,
193
00:14:37,406 --> 00:14:41,037
you must be accomplished in
manners and scholarship.
194
00:14:41,505 --> 00:14:42,517
Yes.
195
00:14:43,593 --> 00:14:47,249
You must never embarrass
the Shogun's name.
196
00:14:48,001 --> 00:14:48,973
Yes.
197
00:14:52,393 --> 00:14:54,283
Hold your brush a little more upright.
198
00:14:55,032 --> 00:14:56,532
That's right.
199
00:15:02,022 --> 00:15:03,851
It is really hot.
200
00:15:04,157 --> 00:15:05,083
Truly.
201
00:15:05,399 --> 00:15:07,049
Acha
202
00:15:07,380 --> 00:15:09,055
Lady Jokoin has finally...
203
00:15:09,362 --> 00:15:10,190
Huh?
204
00:15:10,533 --> 00:15:12,721
She stormed into the Bikuni Mansion.
205
00:15:13,697 --> 00:15:14,846
What?!
206
00:15:15,395 --> 00:15:19,004
But, they are only rumors.
207
00:15:19,650 --> 00:15:25,114
Our straitlaced Shogun
could never have a hidden child.
208
00:15:28,897 --> 00:15:32,084
Of course I do not believe the rumors.
209
00:15:38,966 --> 00:15:42,786
Bikuni Mansion, which was within
the Tayasu Gate of Edo Castle,
210
00:15:43,137 --> 00:15:46,868
was where Takeda Shingen's
daughter Kenshoin lived.
211
00:15:47,149 --> 00:15:50,981
She was Anayama Baisetsu's wife and
mother-in-law to Ieyasu's 5th son Nobuyoshi.
212
00:15:59,368 --> 00:16:05,151
I would like to know about the child
you are harboring here.
213
00:16:06,415 --> 00:16:11,198
That's strange.
We are not "harboring" a child.
214
00:16:11,478 --> 00:16:13,166
Many maids have seen him here.
215
00:16:14,281 --> 00:16:16,656
Her Ladyship (Ogou)
has also heard of it.
216
00:16:17,893 --> 00:16:21,266
You are probably referring to Komatsu.
217
00:16:21,877 --> 00:16:23,319
"Komatsu?"
218
00:16:24,267 --> 00:16:27,176
We are not harboring him.
219
00:16:27,535 --> 00:16:32,378
I took charge of him through my sister.
220
00:16:32,819 --> 00:16:34,333
You "took charge" of him?
221
00:16:34,628 --> 00:16:42,973
Yes. Therefore, he is now
a rightful child of the Takeda.
222
00:16:44,635 --> 00:16:47,403
Who would his father be?
223
00:16:47,660 --> 00:16:50,028
An old vassal of the Takeda.
224
00:16:50,742 --> 00:16:54,708
Her Ladyship would like to speak
with this child.
225
00:16:57,571 --> 00:17:00,808
I must refuse.
226
00:17:01,373 --> 00:17:02,899
You refuse?
227
00:17:04,091 --> 00:17:09,294
Now that he is a Takeda son,
228
00:17:09,789 --> 00:17:14,227
he may become head
of the Takeda one day.
229
00:17:20,432 --> 00:17:29,324
I am most disinclined to have needless
suspicions cast upon my house.
230
00:17:33,628 --> 00:17:34,775
So it is true!
231
00:17:35,077 --> 00:17:37,375
She is truly Takeda Shingen's daughter.
232
00:17:38,043 --> 00:17:39,559
She refuses to back down.
233
00:17:40,028 --> 00:17:42,064
Nor will I back down!
234
00:17:42,449 --> 00:17:45,091
Perhaps we should send
a magistrate to investigate.
235
00:17:45,465 --> 00:17:47,340
Please refrain from doing so!
236
00:17:48,452 --> 00:17:51,452
You must not stir up trouble
while the Shogun is gone!
237
00:17:51,747 --> 00:17:53,137
If it is a hidden child,
238
00:17:53,434 --> 00:17:56,232
he will be third in line for the Shogun's
seat after Takechiyo and Kunichiyo!
239
00:17:56,561 --> 00:17:59,739
Since Kenshoin has said
he is the Takeda son,
240
00:18:00,186 --> 00:18:02,059
we cannot say he is
the Shogun's third son.
241
00:18:02,966 --> 00:18:05,249
I hope nothing ill comes of this.
242
00:18:05,707 --> 00:18:08,296
First we must learn
who the mother is.
243
00:18:08,578 --> 00:18:10,439
Please refrain from making
needless queries.
244
00:18:10,755 --> 00:18:12,234
Needless queries?
245
00:18:12,703 --> 00:18:15,140
The Shogun has his pride to uphold.
246
00:18:15,891 --> 00:18:18,515
To have his privacy violated
and his name embarrassed...
247
00:18:18,843 --> 00:18:23,051
would probably anger even
our kind-hearted Shogun.
248
00:18:23,909 --> 00:18:27,970
It could even lead to discord
between husband and wife!
249
00:18:28,267 --> 00:18:31,689
How vexing!
250
00:18:32,344 --> 00:18:35,346
Please exercise restraint,
Your Ladyship!
251
00:18:39,261 --> 00:18:44,207
Komatsu must not leave this mansion
for the time being.
252
00:18:44,474 --> 00:18:45,634
Yes.
253
00:18:46,020 --> 00:18:47,161
You, too, Oshizu.
254
00:18:47,582 --> 00:18:49,244
Very well, My Lady.
255
00:18:49,927 --> 00:18:57,052
Forgive me, but you must be very patient
until the Shogun returns.
256
00:18:59,130 --> 00:19:00,717
My Lady...
257
00:19:03,831 --> 00:19:07,737
To avoid causing you trouble,
please send me back to my brother.
258
00:19:08,740 --> 00:19:10,860
That would be even more dangerous.
259
00:19:11,204 --> 00:19:12,235
But...
260
00:19:12,893 --> 00:19:15,446
Komatsu is a child of the Takeda.
261
00:19:16,757 --> 00:19:22,925
No matter what may happen,
I'll give my life to protect him.
262
00:19:25,192 --> 00:19:27,033
Thank you, My Lady.
263
00:19:36,048 --> 00:19:39,377
On August 24 at Fushimi Castle,
264
00:19:39,636 --> 00:19:44,589
Hidetada saw Richard Cocks of the
English Trading House and William Adams.
265
00:20:01,356 --> 00:20:02,799
Raise your heads.
266
00:20:18,235 --> 00:20:22,845
He is most grateful and honored
to meet with you.
267
00:20:23,553 --> 00:20:27,055
He has an important letter
from the King of England...
268
00:20:27,324 --> 00:20:29,173
for the King of Japan.
269
00:20:31,659 --> 00:20:33,323
Thank you for coming.
270
00:20:37,249 --> 00:20:39,682
What does the letter say?
271
00:20:40,436 --> 00:20:45,107
England and Japan will not fight,
but be friendly.
272
00:20:45,986 --> 00:20:50,132
Japan's king must lift trade limits.
273
00:20:51,204 --> 00:20:54,267
I am not a king.
I'm the Shogun.
274
00:20:54,863 --> 00:20:58,900
Oh no, the king is a national ruler.
275
00:20:59,235 --> 00:21:01,455
The king is the most powerful.
276
00:21:01,813 --> 00:21:03,445
A Shogun is a general.
277
00:21:04,018 --> 00:21:05,113
General?
278
00:21:06,324 --> 00:21:10,335
England's generals
are vassals of their king.
279
00:21:11,345 --> 00:21:12,417
Don't be rude!
280
00:21:13,171 --> 00:21:15,504
You are King of Japan.
281
00:21:16,036 --> 00:21:20,035
Please sign as such
in your answer to England.
282
00:21:20,300 --> 00:21:21,916
General is not good.
283
00:21:41,570 --> 00:21:45,216
We have received the letter
from England's king.
284
00:21:46,487 --> 00:21:50,785
We will review its contents
and give an answer later.
285
00:21:51,142 --> 00:21:52,890
Thank you, Sir.
286
00:21:55,484 --> 00:21:56,951
Well, Toshikatsu?
287
00:21:57,392 --> 00:21:59,038
Should we lift the trade restrictions?
288
00:21:59,372 --> 00:22:00,684
It's out of the question.
289
00:22:00,966 --> 00:22:01,871
Do we refuse?
290
00:22:02,189 --> 00:22:04,357
It would only benefit the Red Hair.
291
00:22:05,003 --> 00:22:07,055
We must protect Japan's
own merchants.
292
00:22:07,436 --> 00:22:09,129
Very well.
See it through.
293
00:22:09,504 --> 00:22:10,642
Yes, Sire.
294
00:22:11,282 --> 00:22:12,585
King of Japan...
295
00:22:14,379 --> 00:22:23,121
On August 26 envoys from the
King of Korea were also received at Fushimi.
296
00:22:23,616 --> 00:22:30,283
It had been ten years since formal envoys
from Korea were received in 1607.
297
00:22:35,628 --> 00:22:39,038
So Yoshinari (Lord of Tsushima)
298
00:22:48,556 --> 00:22:49,974
Lord So...
299
00:22:51,281 --> 00:22:52,697
What does it mean?
300
00:22:56,869 --> 00:22:57,969
Suden...
301
00:23:03,414 --> 00:23:05,912
In a word, Sire,
302
00:23:06,235 --> 00:23:10,745
it is a letter from the King of Korea
to the King of Japan.
303
00:23:11,490 --> 00:23:16,290
Japan has long requested
that envoys be sent from Korea.
304
00:23:16,809 --> 00:23:20,479
But with the long years of discord
between both nations,
305
00:23:20,946 --> 00:23:24,729
it was deemed unwise
to discuss the matter.
306
00:23:25,245 --> 00:23:30,201
But, now that the King of Japan
has destroyed the Toyotomi...
307
00:23:30,500 --> 00:23:34,078
and unified the nation,
Korea is most pleased.
308
00:23:34,653 --> 00:23:40,820
They therefore send envoys to build
friendship between our two nations.
309
00:23:44,305 --> 00:23:45,819
Excellent.
310
00:23:51,972 --> 00:23:53,211
Suden...
311
00:23:55,648 --> 00:23:58,762
Discuss the matter with Toshikatsu...
312
00:23:59,078 --> 00:24:00,874
and write a reply to this letter.
313
00:24:01,767 --> 00:24:05,307
Say that I, Hidetada,
am agreeable to the matter.
314
00:24:05,966 --> 00:24:08,386
Yes, Your Excellency.
315
00:24:12,111 --> 00:24:13,745
Yoshinao...
316
00:24:15,670 --> 00:24:17,261
Yorinobu...
317
00:24:19,098 --> 00:24:24,602
You most both entertain the
Korean envoys with courtesy.
318
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:34,183
Thank you for coming.
319
00:24:40,613 --> 00:24:42,629
In the evening of that day,
320
00:24:42,984 --> 00:24:47,177
the Ex-Emperor,
who was ill at Sento Palace,
321
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:50,313
succumbed despite prayers
for his recovery.
322
00:24:50,694 --> 00:24:52,640
He was 47 years old.
323
00:24:53,034 --> 00:24:56,037
107th Emperor, Goyozei.
324
00:24:58,785 --> 00:25:01,894
I see.
He passed away?
325
00:25:02,994 --> 00:25:08,638
Formal word should soon come
from the Samurai Intermediary.
326
00:25:10,785 --> 00:25:12,776
Send a condolence caller.
327
00:25:13,884 --> 00:25:15,429
Yoshinao should do.
328
00:25:15,810 --> 00:25:17,157
Yes, Sire.
329
00:25:18,492 --> 00:25:20,181
How sad.
330
00:25:21,107 --> 00:25:23,884
To have died without seeing his son.
331
00:25:25,463 --> 00:25:31,572
Your Excellency, yesterday morning
His Majesty went to Sento Palace...
332
00:25:31,965 --> 00:25:36,998
and had an intimate meeting
with his father.
333
00:25:37,334 --> 00:25:40,288
Oh, that's wonderful.
334
00:25:41,907 --> 00:25:46,032
Though estranged,
they were father and son, after all.
335
00:25:47,463 --> 00:25:49,334
There is a problem, Sire.
336
00:25:50,113 --> 00:25:50,977
Huh?
337
00:25:51,337 --> 00:25:53,545
With the Court in mourning,
338
00:25:53,830 --> 00:25:56,858
Princess Kazu's wedding
will be postponed.
339
00:25:57,639 --> 00:26:00,819
There's no help for it.
Put it off for a year.
340
00:26:01,106 --> 00:26:02,214
Your Excellency...
341
00:26:02,513 --> 00:26:05,657
What about the construction
of the Consort's new palace?
342
00:26:06,577 --> 00:26:08,833
Postpone that for a year as well.
343
00:26:09,688 --> 00:26:10,874
Yes, Sire.
344
00:26:12,471 --> 00:26:13,324
Thank you.
345
00:26:16,775 --> 00:26:17,984
Your Excellency...
346
00:26:18,581 --> 00:26:20,874
In the reply to the King of Korea,
347
00:26:21,223 --> 00:26:25,903
may I sign it "From the King of Japan?"
348
00:26:27,632 --> 00:26:29,505
I am not the king.
349
00:26:30,642 --> 00:26:34,838
Lord So says it would be rude
to the King of Korea...
350
00:26:35,267 --> 00:26:38,925
if our reply is not
from the King of Japan.
351
00:26:39,405 --> 00:26:41,729
But our country is
different than Korea.
352
00:26:42,318 --> 00:26:44,284
It would be presumptuous of me...
353
00:26:44,646 --> 00:26:46,537
to call myself "king"
over the Emperor.
354
00:26:46,894 --> 00:26:50,211
Then within Japan,
you will be "Shogun."
355
00:26:50,617 --> 00:26:53,147
And to other nations,
you will be "king."
356
00:26:53,662 --> 00:26:56,121
Please do that.
357
00:26:56,683 --> 00:26:58,224
Suden, Suden...
358
00:26:59,130 --> 00:27:00,602
Isn't that sneaky?
359
00:27:01,696 --> 00:27:06,504
Forgive me, but other nations
will not accept "Shogun."
360
00:27:16,348 --> 00:27:19,761
In that case, let them know me
as "Minamoto Hidetada." Okay?
361
00:27:27,433 --> 00:27:29,749
Then a major incident occurred!
362
00:27:29,749 --> 00:27:30,510
Incident?!
363
00:27:30,826 --> 00:27:33,541
Mediator So Yoshinari,
Lord of Tsushima Castle,
364
00:27:33,833 --> 00:27:35,916
caught between the Koreans
and the shogunate,
365
00:27:36,201 --> 00:27:39,625
plotted with his vassals
to change the reply!
366
00:27:39,625 --> 00:27:40,817
Changed it?!
367
00:27:41,173 --> 00:27:46,074
He changed "Minamoto Hidetada"
to "King of Japan."
368
00:27:46,332 --> 00:27:47,281
What?!
369
00:27:47,666 --> 00:27:50,138
I can well understand
Yoshinari's position.
370
00:27:50,498 --> 00:27:53,619
He could not disappoint
500 goodwill envoys.
371
00:27:53,996 --> 00:27:57,968
If relations between
Japan and Korea failed,
372
00:27:58,353 --> 00:28:01,436
Tsushima would become
a battleground!
373
00:28:01,732 --> 00:28:02,512
I see.
374
00:28:02,766 --> 00:28:06,341
But, tampering with
an official letter is treason!
375
00:28:06,624 --> 00:28:10,615
Treason? Hardly!
Wasn't it an act of loyalty?
376
00:28:10,829 --> 00:28:12,578
He altered an official letter!
377
00:28:12,821 --> 00:28:14,845
"Minamoto Hidetada"
was not acceptable!
378
00:28:15,060 --> 00:28:16,737
Be quiet!
379
00:28:18,510 --> 00:28:21,370
This incident will be
discovered 17 years later.
380
00:28:21,629 --> 00:28:22,487
So it was.
381
00:28:22,861 --> 00:28:24,172
How was it discovered?
382
00:28:24,895 --> 00:28:26,011
Wait 17 years.
383
00:28:27,348 --> 00:28:30,794
On September 13,
Hidetada left Fushimi Castle,
384
00:28:31,050 --> 00:28:34,254
and arrived in Edo
at the end of the month.
385
00:28:35,457 --> 00:28:39,441
The Asano house reports
that Princess Furi's funeral...
386
00:28:39,843 --> 00:28:43,532
was held in grand style in Wakayama.
387
00:28:46,642 --> 00:28:48,952
This year she was 38 years old.
388
00:28:49,534 --> 00:28:52,209
She passed away on August 29.
389
00:28:52,666 --> 00:28:54,553
Her Buddhist name is Shosei-in.
390
00:28:55,677 --> 00:29:00,836
She never recovered after childbirth?
391
00:29:01,461 --> 00:29:02,906
True, Your Excellency.
392
00:29:03,866 --> 00:29:06,541
She was a strong-willed younger sister.
393
00:29:06,921 --> 00:29:10,176
When we were children,
she was always making me cry.
394
00:29:15,358 --> 00:29:20,394
Bid her husband Nagaakira
to pray for her fondly.
395
00:29:21,711 --> 00:29:22,879
Yes, Sire.
396
00:29:26,427 --> 00:29:27,473
Next...
397
00:29:28,554 --> 00:29:32,066
Your Excellency,
the guard of Fushimi Castle...
398
00:29:32,425 --> 00:29:35,402
will be changed every year
instead of every three years.
399
00:29:35,822 --> 00:29:37,372
Captains of the Great Guards...
400
00:29:37,887 --> 00:29:40,272
Takagi Masatsugu and
Abe Tadayoshi will be sent.
401
00:29:40,836 --> 00:29:41,994
That's fine.
402
00:29:42,699 --> 00:29:45,976
Matsudaira Sadakatsu is no longer
keeper of Fushimi Castle...
403
00:29:46,443 --> 00:29:49,179
and is now
lord of Kuwana Castle in Ise.
404
00:29:50,283 --> 00:29:52,728
Honda Tadamasa of Kuwana...
405
00:29:53,115 --> 00:29:55,277
has been made lord of
Himeji Castle in Harima.
406
00:29:56,804 --> 00:30:02,154
As ordered, attendant Inoue Masanari
has been made Magistrate.
407
00:30:03,784 --> 00:30:05,333
Thank you, Your Excellency!
408
00:30:06,787 --> 00:30:12,618
Lord Sakai Shigetada of Maebashi Castle
has died, and I, his son,
409
00:30:13,111 --> 00:30:18,688
thank you for approving my succession
to my father's fief.
410
00:30:21,171 --> 00:30:22,513
Tadatoshi...
411
00:30:24,008 --> 00:30:25,699
How is Takechiyo doing?
412
00:30:26,898 --> 00:30:29,168
He is very well, Your Excellency.
413
00:30:29,571 --> 00:30:31,373
Aoyama Tadatochi (Takechiyo's guardian)
414
00:30:31,373 --> 00:30:32,284
And his studies?
415
00:30:33,611 --> 00:30:35,588
They are fair, Your Excellency.
416
00:30:36,716 --> 00:30:38,830
What do you mean by "fair?"
417
00:30:39,393 --> 00:30:44,167
Eh, he follows the Ogosho's advice well.
418
00:30:44,490 --> 00:30:46,761
Rather than learning
by seeing and hearing,
419
00:30:47,089 --> 00:30:49,027
Lord Takechiyo prefers
physical experiences.
420
00:30:50,542 --> 00:30:52,034
That was cleverly put.
421
00:30:55,045 --> 00:30:56,145
Yoshinao...
422
00:30:57,812 --> 00:30:59,299
Yorinobu...
423
00:31:00,528 --> 00:31:03,249
I give you land for mansions in Edo.
424
00:31:04,364 --> 00:31:10,004
Serve as other daimyo yearly in Edo
and advise Takechiyo.
425
00:31:10,989 --> 00:31:11,929
Yes, Sire.
426
00:31:14,509 --> 00:31:15,696
Now then...
427
00:31:16,738 --> 00:31:18,525
I ask Tenkai...
428
00:31:22,088 --> 00:31:25,331
Could he have grown hard of hearing?
429
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:27,961
Archbishop Tenkai...
430
00:31:32,113 --> 00:31:34,193
His Excellency has a question.
431
00:31:39,820 --> 00:31:44,040
About my visits to Toshosha on Mt. Nikko...
432
00:31:44,786 --> 00:31:45,849
Toshikatsu...
433
00:31:46,367 --> 00:31:50,245
His Excellency's yearly visits
to the Toshosha...
434
00:31:50,632 --> 00:31:54,338
will incur great expense
and many attendants.
435
00:31:54,724 --> 00:31:58,287
Would it be possible to
send a proxy instead?
436
00:32:03,051 --> 00:32:04,462
Archbishop Tenkai...
437
00:32:08,210 --> 00:32:11,458
Here is my answer, Sir.
438
00:32:12,293 --> 00:32:15,370
Just as at Mt. Kuno in Sunpu...
439
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:22,598
build another Toshosha
on the grounds of Edo Castle.
440
00:32:23,884 --> 00:32:25,503
On the grounds of Edo Castle?
441
00:32:25,926 --> 00:32:32,404
The spirit of the Daigongen
will be divided by my sect.
442
00:32:33,172 --> 00:32:37,515
So, a proxy may be sent to Nikko.
443
00:32:40,274 --> 00:32:41,948
Divide his spirit?
444
00:32:52,902 --> 00:32:54,943
What's wrong?
You startled me.
445
00:32:55,248 --> 00:32:56,310
Welcome home, My Lord.
446
00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:58,518
I must speak to you.
447
00:32:59,408 --> 00:33:00,654
Fine. Proceed.
448
00:33:02,722 --> 00:33:06,250
Her Ladyship has heard
about the Young Lord.
449
00:33:07,718 --> 00:33:08,653
Excuse me.
450
00:33:26,944 --> 00:33:28,301
Welcome home, My Lord.
451
00:33:31,007 --> 00:33:32,210
Raise your heads.
452
00:33:47,754 --> 00:33:52,396
Due to the death of the Ex-Emperor,
453
00:33:52,701 --> 00:33:56,166
Kazu's marriage will be
postponed for a year.
454
00:33:56,775 --> 00:33:57,627
Yes.
455
00:34:00,130 --> 00:34:01,073
Kunichiyo!
456
00:34:01,624 --> 00:34:02,455
Yes.
457
00:34:02,929 --> 00:34:04,397
Who was the Ex-Emperor?
458
00:34:04,819 --> 00:34:07,025
He was the Emperor's father.
459
00:34:07,351 --> 00:34:08,405
That's right.
460
00:34:09,223 --> 00:34:18,631
He has passed away,
and the Court is in mourning.
461
00:34:19,853 --> 00:34:25,257
Therefore, Takechiyo,
your wedding is also postponed.
462
00:34:25,997 --> 00:34:26,789
Yes.
463
00:34:28,517 --> 00:34:29,528
Takechiyo...
464
00:34:31,590 --> 00:34:33,371
Are you behaving?
465
00:34:33,985 --> 00:34:34,680
Yes.
466
00:34:36,039 --> 00:34:37,873
Very suspicious.
467
00:34:39,252 --> 00:34:42,611
You frequently slip
out of the castle...
468
00:34:42,984 --> 00:34:46,808
and loiter in the
vicinity of Hogenzaka.
469
00:34:47,370 --> 00:34:50,152
I wish to see how
the masses live, Father.
470
00:34:51,732 --> 00:34:54,468
How the masses live, indeed!
471
00:34:56,329 --> 00:34:59,391
What would you do if you met
with a street killer?
472
00:34:59,761 --> 00:35:00,754
I shall kill him.
473
00:35:02,468 --> 00:35:04,957
Street killers are good swordsmen.
474
00:35:07,078 --> 00:35:10,284
If the Shogun's son is
killed by a street killer,
475
00:35:10,606 --> 00:35:11,861
we will be disgraced for all time.
476
00:35:17,371 --> 00:35:18,315
Ogou...
477
00:35:21,257 --> 00:35:22,454
Yes?
478
00:35:37,014 --> 00:35:38,461
"Komatsu."
479
00:35:39,190 --> 00:35:41,666
"Good fortune" and "Matsu" (pine tree).
480
00:35:42,568 --> 00:35:45,573
In other words,
"wait for good fortune."
481
00:36:02,134 --> 00:36:03,335
Your Excellency?
482
00:36:08,754 --> 00:36:09,777
Your Excellency!
483
00:36:10,738 --> 00:36:13,401
Ogou? I'm exhausted.
Let me sleep.
484
00:36:15,153 --> 00:36:16,998
It's a crisis for our house!
485
00:36:17,349 --> 00:36:18,717
I'm cold...
486
00:36:19,184 --> 00:36:21,094
I must ask you, My Lord.
487
00:36:21,382 --> 00:36:22,327
Tomorrow. Tomorrow.
488
00:36:22,735 --> 00:36:23,656
No!
489
00:36:27,272 --> 00:36:28,304
Is it about Takechiyo?
490
00:36:28,929 --> 00:36:30,240
It concerns his younger brother.
491
00:36:30,907 --> 00:36:32,026
What about Kunichiyo?
492
00:36:32,386 --> 00:36:33,787
It's Kunichiyo's younger brother.
493
00:36:35,451 --> 00:36:37,277
Kunichiyo's younger brother?
494
00:36:37,688 --> 00:36:39,338
Don't pretend not to know.
495
00:36:39,745 --> 00:36:41,181
I don't know what you mean.
496
00:36:41,546 --> 00:36:43,982
Search your own heart for the answer.
497
00:36:45,514 --> 00:36:46,469
I have no idea.
498
00:36:46,767 --> 00:36:47,968
You must have!
499
00:36:48,341 --> 00:36:49,657
I don't know what you mean.
500
00:36:50,077 --> 00:36:52,826
- Coward!
- Don't say such things!
501
00:36:53,203 --> 00:36:54,265
I'm the Shogun!
502
00:36:54,543 --> 00:36:57,644
- Then...
- To the English, I'm a "king!"
503
00:36:58,820 --> 00:37:02,085
Then act like a "king" and say it!
504
00:37:02,303 --> 00:37:03,465
Say what?!
505
00:37:04,783 --> 00:37:06,133
Remember...
506
00:37:06,579 --> 00:37:08,661
Before I married you,
507
00:37:08,959 --> 00:37:12,608
I married Hashiba Hidekatsu
and gave birth to Sada.
508
00:37:12,907 --> 00:37:13,680
I know that.
509
00:37:14,648 --> 00:37:17,741
I have never hidden it from you.
510
00:37:18,099 --> 00:37:19,691
There's no way you could hide it.
511
00:37:20,067 --> 00:37:22,614
If I could, is it alright?
512
00:37:22,984 --> 00:37:24,717
I didn't say that!
513
00:37:25,362 --> 00:37:28,616
In that case, please don't
keep secrets from me.
514
00:37:29,014 --> 00:37:31,429
I haven't hidden anything.
515
00:37:31,788 --> 00:37:33,631
I know all about it!
516
00:37:33,906 --> 00:37:35,525
Then tell me!
What did I hide?!
517
00:37:35,923 --> 00:37:36,939
I won't say it.
518
00:37:37,709 --> 00:37:40,048
I wish to hear it
from your own lips.
519
00:37:41,597 --> 00:37:43,146
I have nothing to say.
520
00:37:43,554 --> 00:37:47,130
- How maddening!
- Get out! Get out!
521
00:37:49,601 --> 00:37:54,762
If you bid me to go,
I will leave forever.
522
00:37:55,664 --> 00:37:56,631
What?
523
00:37:57,148 --> 00:37:59,064
Thank you for everything.
524
00:38:00,245 --> 00:38:02,479
Will you become a nun after the divorce?
525
00:38:03,138 --> 00:38:04,525
Don't bother worrying about me!
526
00:38:17,716 --> 00:38:22,194
His Excellency is terribly afraid.
527
00:38:23,267 --> 00:38:25,701
Does he wish me
to send Komatsu back?
528
00:38:26,068 --> 00:38:27,235
No!
529
00:38:28,035 --> 00:38:32,161
But he asks that you never
reveal his background.
530
00:38:33,535 --> 00:38:37,282
You don't need
to worry about that.
531
00:38:39,045 --> 00:38:43,133
No matter what anyone says,
Komatsu is a Takeda.
532
00:38:43,939 --> 00:38:46,646
Your words are promising.
533
00:38:47,036 --> 00:38:52,448
But, if the boy remains here,
he might come to harm.
534
00:38:54,204 --> 00:38:57,237
That would be extremely troublesome.
535
00:38:58,244 --> 00:39:00,933
Isn't there any solution?
536
00:39:02,963 --> 00:39:11,537
That's why the Shogun sent me here
to ask for your advice.
537
00:39:21,868 --> 00:39:23,964
Hoshina Masamitsu?
538
00:39:24,657 --> 00:39:27,514
The lord of Takato Castle in Shinano.
539
00:39:27,895 --> 00:39:29,833
He was formerly
a vassal of the Takeda.
540
00:39:30,201 --> 00:39:32,545
Is he adopting Komatsu?
541
00:39:33,371 --> 00:39:38,510
Lady Kenshoin begs us to allow it.
542
00:39:39,479 --> 00:39:42,579
Shinano's Takato is too far away.
543
00:39:43,370 --> 00:39:45,252
There is no help for it.
544
00:39:46,863 --> 00:39:48,316
He's my child!
545
00:39:48,671 --> 00:39:53,890
Absurd! You must
never say such a thing.
546
00:39:55,457 --> 00:39:56,739
But...
547
00:39:58,321 --> 00:40:02,817
One day you may be able
to meet openly.
548
00:40:03,878 --> 00:40:06,351
I will secretly watch over him.
549
00:40:09,964 --> 00:40:11,290
Very well.
550
00:40:29,701 --> 00:40:33,736
On November 8,
Hidetada's hidden child Komatsu...
551
00:40:34,033 --> 00:40:40,208
and his mother quietly left Edo Castle
for Takato in Shinano.
552
00:40:58,372 --> 00:41:02,859
Ex-Emperor Goyozei was
cremated at Sennyuji in Yamashiro.
553
00:41:03,410 --> 00:41:09,948
The treasures from Sento Palace
were moved to the Imperial Palace.
554
00:41:13,712 --> 00:41:17,062
The lands to be donated
to Sannosha Shrine...
555
00:41:17,388 --> 00:41:19,807
will be announced on the 13th.
556
00:41:21,355 --> 00:41:24,193
As ordered, land for
the Toshosha in Edo Castle...
557
00:41:24,548 --> 00:41:27,905
is being cordoned off at Momijiyama.
558
00:41:32,643 --> 00:41:36,686
The representative of the
Yanagimachi pleasure quarters...
559
00:41:36,925 --> 00:41:39,757
ask that we control
outside prostitutes.
560
00:41:42,628 --> 00:41:43,466
Masanari!
561
00:41:43,984 --> 00:41:45,168
Bring prostitutes!
562
00:41:45,468 --> 00:41:46,160
Prostitutes?
563
00:41:46,451 --> 00:41:48,954
Prostitutes? I never said that.
Bring my mount!
564
00:41:49,221 --> 00:41:49,952
Your Excellency!
565
00:41:50,349 --> 00:41:51,596
Don't worry!
My mount!
566
00:42:35,419 --> 00:42:37,205
Komatsu...
567
00:42:37,928 --> 00:42:39,940
Stay well.
568
00:42:42,289 --> 00:42:46,952
To be continued.
569
00:42:58,439 --> 00:43:02,881
To be continued.
