2

unwavering is my path.

That's my line!
6
00:00:33,583 --> 00:00:35,226
More sad news.
7
00:00:35,694 --> 00:00:37,804
On April 29, 1624...
8
00:00:38,194 --> 00:00:40,915
shogunate high official
Itakura Katsushige died.
9
00:00:41,355 --> 00:00:42,568
He was 80 years old.
10
00:00:43,544 --> 00:00:45,359
On July 13...
11
00:00:45,740 --> 00:00:48,383
the former lord of Hiroshima Castle,
Fukushima Masanori,
12
00:00:48,730 --> 00:00:51,155
died in exile in Kawanakajima, Shinao.
13
00:00:51,606 --> 00:00:53,171
He was 64 years old.
14
00:00:53,992 --> 00:00:55,307
On September 6,
15
00:00:55,672 --> 00:00:59,041
Kodai-in Kitanomandokoro died in Kyoto.
16
00:00:59,547 --> 00:01:01,416
She was 83 years old.
17
00:01:02,229 --> 00:01:03,547
In the fall...
18
00:01:03,978 --> 00:01:04,642
What's this?
19
00:01:04,983 --> 00:01:08,964
3rd Shogun Iemitsu went hawking
in Meguro, Musashi.
20
00:01:09,326 --> 00:01:10,094
So what?
21
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:12,650
He had mackerel pike there,
22
00:01:12,979 --> 00:01:14,964
and proclaimed,
"Mackerel pike is best in Meguro."
23
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:17,776
Fool!
That was fabricated!

Shogun Iemitsu participated in
the yearly linked-verse composition.
47
00:04:10,354 --> 00:04:11,807
Plum-blossom scent
48
00:04:12,134 --> 00:04:14,418
Forevermore on winds through pines.
49
00:04:14,854 --> 00:04:18,431
Sun rising high in peaceful skies.
50
00:04:20,854 --> 00:04:24,859
Sun rising high in peaceful skies.
51
00:04:27,731 --> 00:04:29,870
That's right.
That's exactly right.
52
00:04:30,339 --> 00:04:32,939
The Shogun is the sun rising high.
53
00:04:34,403 --> 00:04:37,017
A serene and good poem.
54
00:04:38,184 --> 00:04:43,341
His Excellency has matured
as rapidly as a young bamboo.
55
00:04:43,840 --> 00:04:47,639
I offer my hearty congratulations, Sire.
56
00:04:48,753 --> 00:04:51,406
I hope his rule will be as serene.
57
00:04:52,592 --> 00:04:55,047
Don't be overly eager for success.
58
00:04:55,656 --> 00:04:58,219
There is no hope for the Emperor
to come to Edo as yet.
59
00:04:58,944 --> 00:05:01,333
Our ties to the Court
were only recently established,
60
00:05:01,677 --> 00:05:04,516
and Kazu...
61
00:05:05,141 --> 00:05:09,067
I mean, Masako gave birth
to the Emperor's child,
62
00:05:09,722 --> 00:05:12,563
and became Imperial Consort.
63
00:05:15,347 --> 00:05:19,568
Don't ruin the harmony
we've achieved with the Court.
64
00:05:20,255 --> 00:05:21,705
But Father...
65
00:05:22,534 --> 00:05:26,042
I am obeying the last wishes
of the Tosho Dai-Gongen.
66
00:05:26,869 --> 00:05:28,206
His last wishes?
67
00:05:30,133 --> 00:05:32,681
Throughout his life,
68
00:05:33,222 --> 00:05:35,808
the Dai-Gongen went to Kyoto
numerous times...
69
00:05:36,269 --> 00:05:37,723
and paid his respects to the Court.
70
00:05:38,489 --> 00:05:42,261
I hear that though he asked that
the Emperor privately visit Edo,
71
00:05:42,692 --> 00:05:46,115
the Imperial attendants
rebuffed every request.
72
00:05:47,179 --> 00:05:49,960
And the Dai-Gongen's wish
was never granted.
73
00:05:50,184 --> 00:05:51,136
Iemitsu...
74
00:05:51,669 --> 00:05:53,740
The Emperor is different.
75
00:05:54,724 --> 00:05:58,476
We samurai were originally
protectors of the Court.
76
00:05:58,836 --> 00:06:00,461
That was long ago.
77
00:06:00,789 --> 00:06:02,494
Old ways must be cherished.
78
00:06:02,806 --> 00:06:05,507
I don't ask to be higher
than the Emperor.
79
00:06:06,268 --> 00:06:07,996
What I abhor...
80
00:06:08,307 --> 00:06:11,072
are shiftless nobles,
basking in the Emperor's glory,
81
00:06:11,418 --> 00:06:14,519
to look down upon samurai,
holding us in disdain.
82
00:06:14,979 --> 00:06:20,510
That is why I request a visit
from the Emperor...
83
00:06:21,029 --> 00:06:24,184
to show to the world
the greatness of the Shogun,
84
00:06:24,575 --> 00:06:28,058
and to elevate the status of samurai.
85
00:06:32,308 --> 00:06:33,623
Well, Toshikatsu?
86
00:06:34,434 --> 00:06:38,186
His Excellency's aspirations
are resolute and large-minded.
87
00:06:38,652 --> 00:06:41,190
The daimyo will believe...
88
00:06:41,544 --> 00:06:44,434
he is truly descended
from the Dai-Gongen.
89
00:06:45,459 --> 00:06:49,138
However, the Court
will be greatly shocked.
90
00:06:49,737 --> 00:06:53,687
It will be akin to stirring up
a hornet's nest.
91
00:06:54,022 --> 00:06:56,937
We must strike a blow
at their arrogance!
92
00:07:00,907 --> 00:07:02,922
What do you think, Archbishop?
93
00:07:03,460 --> 00:07:07,237
Having the Emperor come to the Kanto...
94
00:07:07,587 --> 00:07:10,400
is like moving the mountain to the sea.
95
00:07:10,783 --> 00:07:14,338
It would be extremely difficult.
96
00:07:15,235 --> 00:07:18,331
However, it will not do...
97
00:07:18,676 --> 00:07:24,284
to let the New Shogun's
passionate mettle go to waste.
98
00:07:25,722 --> 00:07:27,284
What should we do?
99
00:07:29,465 --> 00:07:35,832
Let's forget whether
it is possible or not.
100
00:07:36,278 --> 00:07:38,817
Wouldn't it be advantageous
on various levels...
101
00:07:39,170 --> 00:07:41,400
to cast a stone at the Court?
102
00:07:41,785 --> 00:07:44,160
Are you suggesting we fight the Court?
103
00:07:44,536 --> 00:07:45,910
Not at all.
104
00:07:46,539 --> 00:07:52,917
Let's first calmly see
the reaction of the nobles.
105
00:08:02,319 --> 00:08:03,821
On January 27,
106
00:08:04,183 --> 00:08:07,023
Iemitsu sent messengers
to the Kyoto Palace...
107
00:08:07,369 --> 00:08:09,603
to convey greetings to the Emperor
for the New Year.
108
00:08:10,041 --> 00:08:12,748
And through the Samurai Intermediaries,
109
00:08:13,137 --> 00:08:14,761
he requested an Imperial visit
to the Kanto.
110
00:08:15,135 --> 00:08:19,029
But, there was no reply
from the Court.
111
00:08:20,493 --> 00:08:25,620
He may dislike nobles,
but it was wrong for him...
112
00:08:25,952 --> 00:08:29,838
not to have visited his
young bride's bed even once.
113
00:08:31,636 --> 00:08:35,546
And it's outrageous of him
to insist that the Emperor come.
114
00:08:38,423 --> 00:08:40,232
Are your eyes okay?
115
00:08:41,140 --> 00:08:42,731
Please don't worry.
116
00:08:47,687 --> 00:08:51,981
Iemitsu might be
the Dai-Gongen reincarnate.
117
00:08:52,499 --> 00:08:53,310
Huh?
118
00:08:54,092 --> 00:08:57,109
They say water takes
the shape of its container,
119
00:08:57,499 --> 00:09:00,785
but his aggressiveness
is out of the ordinary.
120
00:09:01,235 --> 00:09:03,290
It's probably mere willfulness.
121
00:09:03,936 --> 00:09:06,748
That's exactly like the Dai-Gongen.
122
00:09:07,765 --> 00:09:09,379
Don't move!
123
00:09:12,173 --> 00:09:15,049
You must strike while the iron is hot.
124
00:09:16,266 --> 00:09:18,737
If you don't correct him now,
125
00:09:19,048 --> 00:09:22,673
he'll grow hardened in his willful ways.
126
00:09:27,910 --> 00:09:28,679
Lord!
127
00:09:34,876 --> 00:09:36,001
No answer?
128
00:09:37,535 --> 00:09:39,627
We assume that the nobles
are confused...
129
00:09:39,924 --> 00:09:41,457
and do not know how to answer.
130
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:44,319
But the Shogun will lose face!
131
00:09:45,066 --> 00:09:45,960
Right, Sire!
132
00:09:46,368 --> 00:09:48,474
Could the Samurai Intermediary
have stalled the request?
133
00:09:48,727 --> 00:09:50,050
Let's have the Kyoto Deputy investigate!
134
00:09:50,378 --> 00:09:52,038
We don't have time to wait!
135
00:09:52,381 --> 00:09:53,495
Let's demand a reply!
136
00:09:55,774 --> 00:09:58,168
No, that won't be necessary.
137
00:10:02,646 --> 00:10:03,759
Toshikatsu...
138
00:10:05,662 --> 00:10:07,569
I shall go personally to Kyoto...
139
00:10:07,866 --> 00:10:09,260
and speak with the Court.
140
00:10:09,570 --> 00:10:10,696
- But...
- Tadakatsu!
141
00:10:11,696 --> 00:10:16,072
Summon daimyo and hatamoto
to accompany me to Kyoto!
142
00:10:16,434 --> 00:10:18,475
Sire, when will you depart?
143
00:10:18,475 --> 00:10:19,571
April of next year!
144
00:10:19,852 --> 00:10:20,515
Yes, Sire!
145
00:10:26,242 --> 00:10:29,452
On March 3, Iemitsu ordered
daimyo throughout the land...
146
00:10:29,729 --> 00:10:33,058
to accompany him to Kyoto
the following year.
147
00:10:41,265 --> 00:10:42,593
Oh, Masanari...
148
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:44,421
Sire, I wish to report...
149
00:10:45,646 --> 00:10:48,419
the Kyoto Deputy sends word...
150
00:10:48,795 --> 00:10:53,858
Chancellor Konoe Nobuhiro
left Kyoto on March 7 for Edo.
151
00:10:54,578 --> 00:10:55,969
Oh, the Chancellor?
152
00:10:57,427 --> 00:10:59,030
I have more good news, Sire.
153
00:10:59,286 --> 00:10:59,750
Huh?
154
00:11:01,038 --> 00:11:05,092
Imperial Consort Masako
has conceived a second time!
155
00:11:07,002 --> 00:11:08,548
Congratulations, Sire!
156
00:11:12,969 --> 00:11:14,475
Lord Ogosho!
Your robes!
157
00:11:15,313 --> 00:11:16,500
Bring the hakama!
Bring the hakama!
158
00:11:17,048 --> 00:11:17,922
Lord Ogosho!
159
00:11:20,553 --> 00:11:25,588
On April 10, Chancellor Konoe Nobuhiro
arrived in Edo...
160
00:11:25,879 --> 00:11:28,299
and was received by Iemitsu.
161
00:11:32,799 --> 00:11:36,300
I am overjoyed to see you, My Lord.
162
00:11:37,206 --> 00:11:38,862
Thank you for coming so far.
163
00:11:40,691 --> 00:11:42,540
Lord Iemitsu...
164
00:11:43,050 --> 00:11:46,322
I congratulate you
on becoming 3rd Shogun,
165
00:11:46,770 --> 00:11:51,928
and I rejoice at the rise
of the Tokugawa house.
166
00:11:53,433 --> 00:11:54,771
Thank you, sir.
167
00:11:55,975 --> 00:12:00,162
I, Nijo Yasumichi,
also congratulate you.
168
00:12:01,538 --> 00:12:05,652
I, Kujo Tadataka,
rejoice at your success.
169
00:12:08,555 --> 00:12:15,402
His Majesty is overjoyed
that you will come next year.
170
00:12:16,914 --> 00:12:20,025
I shall also accompany him.
171
00:12:21,087 --> 00:12:23,118
That will be wonderful, sir.
172
00:12:23,765 --> 00:12:26,373
Actually, I wish to see my grandchild.
173
00:12:27,906 --> 00:12:33,058
His Majesty is delighted
that Consort Masako has conceived.
174
00:12:33,408 --> 00:12:35,735
He has ordered that prayers
be given at Yamashiro Daigoji...
175
00:12:36,077 --> 00:12:38,089
for the birth of a prince.
176
00:12:39,010 --> 00:12:40,934
How wonderful.
177
00:12:41,885 --> 00:12:46,135
I am sure a prince will be born this time.
178
00:12:47,705 --> 00:12:48,829
Toshikatsu...
179
00:12:52,376 --> 00:12:56,249
Forgive me, but the shogunate
has repeatedly asked...
180
00:12:56,519 --> 00:12:59,596
for an Imperial visit to the Kanto.
181
00:13:00,059 --> 00:13:03,153
Your answer, please.
182
00:13:09,689 --> 00:13:14,101
That matter will be answered
by the Samurai Intermediary.
183
00:13:15,018 --> 00:13:15,791
Very well.
184
00:13:21,964 --> 00:13:28,896
Regretfully, since there is no precedent
for such a visit,
185
00:13:29,217 --> 00:13:31,219
we must refuse your request.
186
00:13:31,831 --> 00:13:34,081
We know there is no precedent!
187
00:13:34,549 --> 00:13:36,640
All Imperial engagements...
188
00:13:36,991 --> 00:13:42,562
are made according to established
custom with great ceremony.
189
00:13:44,515 --> 00:13:46,850
It is the only request
made by the Shogun,
190
00:13:47,173 --> 00:13:48,831
protector of this land!
191
00:13:49,275 --> 00:13:52,620
The Shogun and his house
are vassals of the Emperor!
192
00:13:54,070 --> 00:13:58,678
That is why we have
humbled ourselves to beg!
193
00:13:58,977 --> 00:13:59,961
Your request is denied!
194
00:14:00,676 --> 00:14:02,249
- Your are rude, Sir!
- Silence, Masakatsu!
195
00:14:02,584 --> 00:14:03,920
You are before the Chancellor!
196
00:14:11,744 --> 00:14:13,491
Forgive our rudeness.
197
00:14:15,451 --> 00:14:18,285
The New Shogun's request
for an Imperial visit...
198
00:14:18,969 --> 00:14:21,788
was only an expression
of loyalty to the Court.
199
00:14:22,159 --> 00:14:26,693
Nothing else was intended.
200
00:14:27,681 --> 00:14:30,231
Please accept is as such.
201
00:14:32,940 --> 00:14:35,320
Very well, we shall.
202
00:14:56,045 --> 00:14:57,707
Please sit down.
203
00:14:58,058 --> 00:15:00,628
Anger is a poison.
It will sicken you.
204
00:15:00,992 --> 00:15:03,090
How can I not be angry?!
205
00:15:03,631 --> 00:15:06,130
I was humiliated today!
206
00:15:08,027 --> 00:15:10,867
The Court has its pride.
207
00:15:11,374 --> 00:15:14,208
They will not easily come to the samurai.
208
00:15:14,783 --> 00:15:18,195
The tug of war has only begun.
209
00:15:18,830 --> 00:15:19,671
Tug of war?
210
00:15:20,292 --> 00:15:22,829
Sit and wait as a Shogun should.
211
00:15:23,599 --> 00:15:25,415
The road ahead is long.
212
00:15:25,897 --> 00:15:30,933
But the haughty look on
that Samurai Intermediary's face!
213
00:15:31,331 --> 00:15:32,367
Samurai Intermediary?
214
00:15:32,695 --> 00:15:34,552
He was insolent and rude!
215
00:15:34,914 --> 00:15:36,600
Hirohashi Kanekatsu's successor?
216
00:15:37,066 --> 00:15:39,898
Yes, Lord Nakanoin Michimura.
217
00:15:40,330 --> 00:15:42,329
The Court is preparing for a fight.
218
00:15:43,950 --> 00:15:46,958
The Emperor's younger brother
was appointed Chancellor,
219
00:15:47,417 --> 00:15:51,434
and the Court's most capable noble
is Samurai Intermediary.
220
00:15:52,084 --> 00:15:55,230
They are attempting
to stop shogunate interference.
221
00:15:57,845 --> 00:16:01,572
Ofuku, what should I do?
222
00:16:03,086 --> 00:16:04,510
Well...
223
00:16:04,939 --> 00:16:06,673
That's a poor answer!
224
00:16:08,238 --> 00:16:15,328
First, go to Nikko and
ask the Dai-Gongen what to do.
225
00:16:17,501 --> 00:16:23,405
You know that when Lady Oroku,
the Dai-Gongen's favorite,
226
00:16:23,725 --> 00:16:28,119
visited the Toshosha,
she suddenly dropped dead.
227
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:35,426
If your rule displeases the Dai-Gongen,
he will scold you.
228
00:16:35,780 --> 00:16:40,530
It is pleases him,
he will surely praise you.
229
00:16:43,527 --> 00:16:44,575
Very well.
230
00:16:49,528 --> 00:16:53,799
This is Lord Tadanaga,
the Shogun's younger brother.
231
00:16:54,998 --> 00:16:56,936
I am pleased to meet you.
232
00:16:57,723 --> 00:16:59,407
I am Nijo Yasumichi.
233
00:17:00,832 --> 00:17:02,903
I am Kujo Tadakata.
234
00:17:03,739 --> 00:17:06,587
This is the Shogun's older sister,
Lady Okatsu...
235
00:17:06,958 --> 00:17:08,531
and her son, Senchiyo.
236
00:17:09,163 --> 00:17:10,217
Welcome.
237
00:17:12,225 --> 00:17:13,380
I am Senchiyo.
238
00:17:15,554 --> 00:17:16,738
Do you understand?
239
00:17:17,157 --> 00:17:20,626
Lord Yasumichi is two years older
than Lord Tadakata.
240
00:17:21,008 --> 00:17:24,512
Their father is former
Chancellor Kujo Tadahide.
241
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:26,478
Their mother is Princess Sada.
242
00:17:27,190 --> 00:17:31,332
And, Princess Sada's mother
is Her Ladyship Ogou.
243
00:17:32,650 --> 00:17:34,109
Do you understand?
244
00:17:34,496 --> 00:17:37,725
They are Her Ladyship Ogou's grandsons.
245
00:17:38,608 --> 00:17:42,394
That means they are nephews
of Lord Tadanaga and Lady Okatsu.
246
00:17:43,419 --> 00:17:47,417
And, since Lady Okatsu
is Princess Sada's sister..
247
00:17:48,340 --> 00:17:49,897
What is Senchiyo to them?
248
00:17:51,307 --> 00:17:53,136
Oh, probably cousins.
249
00:17:55,578 --> 00:17:57,425
A trifle confusing, isn't it?
250
00:17:57,815 --> 00:18:01,802
Let's unravel these
complicated family ties.
251
00:18:03,936 --> 00:18:07,197
Her Ladyship Ogou
was married three times.
252
00:18:07,620 --> 00:18:09,840
With her first husband,
Hashiba Hidekatsu,
253
00:18:10,147 --> 00:18:12,572
she had Princess Sada.
254
00:18:14,384 --> 00:18:17,140
Princess Sada was raised by Lady Yodo...
255
00:18:17,506 --> 00:18:22,950
and married noble Kujo Tadahide,
and had two sons.
256
00:18:23,955 --> 00:18:27,247
The older son, Yasumichi,
was adopted by the Nijo,
257
00:18:27,597 --> 00:18:31,675
and the younger son Tadakata
succeeded to the Kujo house.
258
00:18:32,612 --> 00:18:37,196
So these brothers are
Her Ladyship Ogou's grandchildren.
259
00:18:37,702 --> 00:18:39,127
It's amazing.
260
00:18:40,281 --> 00:18:43,581
Lady Ogou's bloodline extends
not only to the Imperial house,
261
00:18:43,923 --> 00:18:47,267
but even to the Nijo and Kujo
of the Go-Sekke,
262
00:18:47,519 --> 00:18:49,828
the Five Fujiwara Houses.
263
00:19:05,018 --> 00:19:06,454
Raise your heads.
264
00:19:16,643 --> 00:19:18,400
I am Nijo Yasumichi.
265
00:19:20,876 --> 00:19:23,603
I am Kujo Tadakata.
266
00:19:27,301 --> 00:19:28,796
Come closer.
Come closer.
267
00:19:30,164 --> 00:19:31,590
This is your grandmother.
268
00:19:56,332 --> 00:19:58,086
How I longed to see you!
269
00:20:03,543 --> 00:20:06,727
You have grown to be such fine men.
270
00:20:09,462 --> 00:20:11,513
Is Osada well?
271
00:20:12,867 --> 00:20:14,606
She is well, My Lady.
272
00:20:16,496 --> 00:20:21,556
Never bowing to ill fortune,
she gave birth to fine sons.
273
00:20:22,968 --> 00:20:25,744
Tell her I am proud of my daughter.
274
00:20:27,107 --> 00:20:28,312
Yes, I will.
275
00:20:31,886 --> 00:20:35,338
"Yasu" in Yasumichi comes from "Ieyasu."
276
00:20:36,322 --> 00:20:40,963
"Tada" in Tadakata could
come from "Hidetada."
277
00:20:42,402 --> 00:20:45,265
As nobles from the Tokugawa house,
278
00:20:46,169 --> 00:20:49,169
please protect the Imperial Consort.
279
00:20:49,443 --> 00:20:50,555
Yes, I will.
280
00:20:52,812 --> 00:20:59,403
Be good friends with both
Iemitsu and Tadanaga as well.
281
00:21:04,057 --> 00:21:06,503
Do you understand, Tadanaga?
282
00:21:07,547 --> 00:21:08,848
Yes, Mother.
283
00:21:27,792 --> 00:21:33,059
On July 17, Iemitsu visited
the Nikko Toshosha.
284
00:21:35,867 --> 00:21:38,428
Thank you for going
in this sweltering heat.
285
00:21:40,524 --> 00:21:42,690
So, were your prayers answered?
286
00:21:43,925 --> 00:21:45,768
My illness of the eye was cured.
287
00:21:46,215 --> 00:21:47,895
Oh, that's wonderful.
288
00:21:49,590 --> 00:21:52,901
On my journey, the Dai-Gongen
appeared to me in a dream...
289
00:21:53,395 --> 00:21:54,680
and gave me a message.
290
00:21:55,285 --> 00:21:58,317
In a dream?
What did he say?
291
00:22:00,441 --> 00:22:03,104
"Iemitsu was born a Shogun."
292
00:22:04,103 --> 00:22:07,074
"Iemitsu was born a Shogun?"
293
00:22:08,809 --> 00:22:11,059
Unlike the Dai-Gongen and the Ogosho,
294
00:22:11,346 --> 00:22:13,332
I was born into the Shogun's house...
295
00:22:13,662 --> 00:22:16,617
and groomed since childhood
to be Shogun.
296
00:22:18,063 --> 00:22:22,659
Therefore, I must show the world
how a Shogun must be.
297
00:22:23,695 --> 00:22:25,258
That is what he said.
298
00:22:26,366 --> 00:22:29,540
Oh, anything else?
299
00:22:31,155 --> 00:22:32,058
Pardon me.
300
00:22:39,875 --> 00:22:41,451
Hidetada must also!
301
00:22:43,437 --> 00:22:44,507
Hidetada must also?
302
00:22:45,985 --> 00:22:48,934
Hidetada must also come
sometimes to Nikko.
303
00:22:50,789 --> 00:22:51,997
Liar!
304
00:23:12,384 --> 00:23:14,161
Komatsu! Wait!
305
00:23:19,497 --> 00:23:21,869
Komatsu...
Wait!
306
00:23:26,340 --> 00:23:27,544
Komatsu!
307
00:23:30,415 --> 00:23:31,398
Reporting...
308
00:23:33,227 --> 00:23:37,533
Huh?
Isn't it early for dinner?
309
00:23:37,937 --> 00:23:41,305
A message has come from
the lord of Owari.
310
00:23:42,887 --> 00:23:44,151
At Nagoya Castle...
311
00:23:44,479 --> 00:23:48,312
Lord Yoshinao's first son,
Gorohachimaru, was born.
312
00:23:49,699 --> 00:23:50,745
Oh?
313
00:23:52,513 --> 00:23:54,072
Congratulations, Sire.
314
00:24:03,159 --> 00:24:06,778
Do you know that
the lord of Owari had a son?
315
00:24:07,652 --> 00:24:12,107
At this rate, the next Shogun
will come from Owari.
316
00:24:12,655 --> 00:24:14,089
Probably.
317
00:24:14,595 --> 00:24:16,466
Don't be so nonchalant.
318
00:24:16,921 --> 00:24:21,083
The Owari house has no blood ties
to our Asai house.
319
00:24:21,826 --> 00:24:26,463
Asai blood is in the Imperial
and Go-Sekke houses.
320
00:24:27,110 --> 00:24:28,864
The important house is the Shogun's.
321
00:24:29,203 --> 00:24:32,096
What pride is there in anything else?
322
00:24:32,096 --> 00:24:36,078
The Asai and Oda
are samurai houses.
323
00:24:36,662 --> 00:24:40,878
Then you should have had
children of your own.
324
00:24:42,203 --> 00:24:43,956
I wished to,
but could not.
325
00:24:44,208 --> 00:24:46,424
In that case,
you shouldn't complain.
326
00:24:47,789 --> 00:24:50,234
What a cruel thing to say!
327
00:24:51,235 --> 00:24:55,130
What a thing to say to your older sister!
328
00:25:03,135 --> 00:25:04,726
On August 9,
329
00:25:05,044 --> 00:25:08,598
the title, "Her Ladyship,"
was transferred.
330
00:25:08,946 --> 00:25:15,267
On this day, it was conferred on
Princess Takatsukasa Takako.
331
00:25:17,922 --> 00:25:20,213
As the problem of
producing an heir escalated,
332
00:25:20,579 --> 00:25:26,233
on September 13, Consort Masako
gave birth to her second daughter.
333
00:25:30,454 --> 00:25:32,013
Another princess?
334
00:25:34,536 --> 00:25:37,733
Your mother Oichi also
gave birth to three girls.
335
00:25:39,207 --> 00:25:42,357
You had four,
no, five girls.
336
00:25:43,455 --> 00:25:46,201
It appears to be in the blood.
337
00:25:47,418 --> 00:25:48,913
Are girls unsatisfactory?
338
00:25:49,199 --> 00:25:51,020
No, but...
339
00:25:51,553 --> 00:25:53,207
You let out a sigh.
340
00:25:53,529 --> 00:25:54,830
I did not.
341
00:25:55,115 --> 00:25:56,080
You did so!
342
00:25:56,485 --> 00:25:57,796
I didn't, I say.
343
00:25:59,686 --> 00:26:04,764
I only understand how
the Emperor must be feeling.
344
00:26:05,458 --> 00:26:08,102
Don't you understand how
Masako must be feeling?
345
00:26:09,355 --> 00:26:12,730
If no son is born,
there will never be an heir.
346
00:26:13,636 --> 00:26:16,445
Both the Emperor and Consort
are still young.
347
00:26:17,171 --> 00:26:19,748
I gave birth to Iemitsu at 33.
348
00:26:21,547 --> 00:26:24,802
I nearly went mad with worry.
Father was always after me.
349
00:26:25,376 --> 00:26:27,551
It was sad for me too.
350
00:26:30,120 --> 00:26:31,881
Anyway, that's that.
351
00:26:32,613 --> 00:26:33,849
How is Iemitsu doing?
352
00:26:34,369 --> 00:26:36,150
The same as ever.
353
00:26:38,783 --> 00:26:40,288
Problems here, problems there.
354
00:26:41,476 --> 00:26:43,021
The future's pitch black.
355
00:26:46,429 --> 00:26:47,795
In early October,
356
00:26:48,084 --> 00:26:52,304
Shogun Iemitsu came down with
a fever and took to bed.
357
00:26:57,554 --> 00:26:59,316
The Ogosho is here.
358
00:27:18,246 --> 00:27:19,270
How's the fever?
359
00:27:24,848 --> 00:27:27,177
Iemitsu. Is it bad?
360
00:27:29,545 --> 00:27:32,399
Tadanaga came to say good-bye.
361
00:27:33,761 --> 00:27:37,887
Tadanaga will leave
for his new fief tomorrow.
362
00:27:40,451 --> 00:27:42,129
Are you still here?
363
00:27:43,705 --> 00:27:48,620
I planned to delay my departure
until your recovery.
364
00:27:49,774 --> 00:27:52,256
Go on to Sunpu!
365
00:27:57,920 --> 00:27:58,934
Father...
366
00:28:02,157 --> 00:28:03,658
Please clear the room.
367
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:12,566
Pardon me.
368
00:28:22,791 --> 00:28:23,902
What's wrong?
369
00:28:28,211 --> 00:28:29,132
Father...
370
00:28:31,446 --> 00:28:35,093
I have something to ask you.
371
00:28:36,168 --> 00:28:37,114
What's that?
372
00:28:38,287 --> 00:28:42,479
When I went hawking
at Himonyahara in Meguro,
373
00:28:42,855 --> 00:28:45,674
I rested at Chojuin Temple.
374
00:28:46,570 --> 00:28:49,763
I noticed a statue of Kwannon
and Kongo Jizo,
375
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:52,664
which is uncommon for the backwoods.
376
00:28:54,450 --> 00:28:56,334
When I asked about it, the abbot,
377
00:28:56,637 --> 00:28:58,545
who was unaware of my identity,
378
00:28:58,952 --> 00:29:02,650
said they were donated by
the mother of the Shogun's child,
379
00:29:02,959 --> 00:29:07,364
who prayed for her son's safety.
380
00:29:14,076 --> 00:29:19,016
Isn't the "Shogun" you, Father?
381
00:29:22,341 --> 00:29:24,363
Would you know about it, Father?
382
00:29:27,842 --> 00:29:29,282
I don't deny it.
383
00:29:29,678 --> 00:29:35,296
Then the child is my older
or younger brother!
384
00:29:37,429 --> 00:29:40,537
He is your younger brother.
385
00:29:41,722 --> 00:29:43,069
Is he alive?
386
00:29:43,912 --> 00:29:44,789
He is alive.
387
00:29:45,149 --> 00:29:48,196
Where is he now?
388
00:29:52,860 --> 00:29:54,509
Please tell me!
389
00:30:07,026 --> 00:30:08,349
Father...
390
00:30:10,173 --> 00:30:13,341
I could die tomorrow.
391
00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:22,157
I wish to see my brother
while I'm still alive.
392
00:30:41,714 --> 00:30:44,290
Why do you wish to see him, Iemitsu?
393
00:30:46,818 --> 00:30:50,256
He is my brother
whom I have never met.
394
00:30:59,586 --> 00:31:01,356
Don't tell anyone, now.
395
00:31:06,646 --> 00:31:09,067
I swear by the gods.
396
00:31:16,054 --> 00:31:23,074
My handmaiden Oshizu
gave birth to my son.
397
00:31:23,939 --> 00:31:26,283
His name is Komatsu.
398
00:31:27,019 --> 00:31:29,513
He is now fifteen years old.
399
00:31:30,860 --> 00:31:32,433
Fifteen years old?
400
00:31:33,782 --> 00:31:35,881
I concealed his identity...
401
00:31:36,292 --> 00:31:39,983
and entrusted him to Kenshoin
at Bikuni Mansion.
402
00:31:42,039 --> 00:31:44,314
But Ogou grew suspicious.
403
00:31:45,289 --> 00:31:49,953
So I sent him to Takato
in Shinano to avoid trouble.
404
00:31:51,069 --> 00:31:53,428
Takato in Shinano?
405
00:31:55,460 --> 00:32:00,365
Now Hoshina Masamitsu cares for him,
406
00:32:02,085 --> 00:32:06,228
and I give 5,000 koku
for the boy's support.
407
00:32:10,895 --> 00:32:13,277
What a cruel thing to do!
408
00:32:17,384 --> 00:32:21,508
Komatsu was a concubine's child.
409
00:32:23,444 --> 00:32:25,012
Summon him back!
410
00:32:28,333 --> 00:32:30,396
Let a sleeping child lie.
411
00:32:36,678 --> 00:32:38,189
Lord Ogosho...
412
00:32:40,282 --> 00:32:44,993
this is the dying wish
of the 3rd Shogun.
413
00:33:06,980 --> 00:33:09,317
My forehead is warmer than yours.
414
00:33:14,275 --> 00:33:18,790
A few days later, a secret messenger
was sent to Shinano.
415
00:33:20,577 --> 00:33:21,907
When is he arriving?
416
00:33:23,197 --> 00:33:24,646
At year's end.
417
00:33:27,545 --> 00:33:29,608
You must tell no one.
418
00:33:31,543 --> 00:33:34,612
Date Masamune
419
00:33:40,801 --> 00:33:42,038
Gentlemen!
420
00:33:43,930 --> 00:33:45,204
Good morning, My Lord.
421
00:33:46,527 --> 00:33:49,376
Let's wrestle to shake off the cold.
422
00:33:49,968 --> 00:33:51,898
What do you say, Sir Masakatsu?
423
00:33:54,150 --> 00:33:55,505
Well, Sir Tadakatsu?
424
00:33:56,809 --> 00:33:58,303
I have an errand to run.
425
00:34:03,678 --> 00:34:05,674
Sakai Tadakatsu
426
00:34:09,132 --> 00:34:10,786
Let's fight fairly!
427
00:34:12,383 --> 00:34:14,177
Please deal with me kindly.
428
00:34:28,841 --> 00:34:30,780
How is the Shogun's illness?
429
00:34:32,311 --> 00:34:33,136
Tell me.
430
00:34:47,575 --> 00:34:50,738
You must consider your age.
431
00:34:51,259 --> 00:34:53,197
He really threw me in earnest.
432
00:34:53,781 --> 00:34:57,098
Sir Tadakatsu is a skilled wrestler.
433
00:34:57,369 --> 00:34:58,188
Toshikatsu...
434
00:34:59,093 --> 00:35:03,158
Have the physician give
Lord Masamune some medicine.
435
00:35:03,531 --> 00:35:04,450
Very well.
436
00:35:04,718 --> 00:35:08,254
No, please don't bother.
It's not serious.
437
00:35:12,649 --> 00:35:14,346
Now then...
438
00:35:14,999 --> 00:35:18,565
I summoned you, the lord of Sendai,
here because...
439
00:35:22,350 --> 00:35:25,901
We are wrangling with the Court...
440
00:35:26,340 --> 00:35:29,534
to have the Emperor
come to the Kanto.
441
00:35:30,070 --> 00:35:33,416
But we're at a standstill.
Neither side is budging.
442
00:35:33,896 --> 00:35:35,667
I know, My Lord.
443
00:35:36,652 --> 00:35:38,817
Should we push ahead
or pull back?
444
00:35:39,458 --> 00:35:43,413
You're a skilled wrestler.
Tell me your opinion.
445
00:35:47,550 --> 00:35:49,566
Please speak freely.
446
00:35:54,393 --> 00:35:58,336
It is my firm belief...
447
00:35:58,661 --> 00:36:01,508
that the nobles will never yield.
448
00:36:04,444 --> 00:36:10,364
But the 3rd Shogun cannot
be made to suffer embarrassment.
449
00:36:10,845 --> 00:36:12,465
You are quite right, My Lord.
450
00:36:13,019 --> 00:36:14,460
What should we do?
451
00:36:15,763 --> 00:36:19,158
This is very difficult.
452
00:36:39,965 --> 00:36:43,141
You are a man of ingenuity.
453
00:36:44,184 --> 00:36:47,447
I ask that you intercede
in this matter for us.
454
00:36:50,164 --> 00:37:01,872
Eh, Lord Ieyasu summoned Osaka's
Hideyori to Nijo Castle, didn't he?
455
00:37:03,892 --> 00:37:07,428
From that day forth,
the power shifted.
456
00:37:11,884 --> 00:37:15,058
Why not ask for a meeting
at Nijo Castle?
457
00:37:17,286 --> 00:37:21,217
Nijo Castle is the stronghold
of the Shogun's house.
458
00:37:22,034 --> 00:37:26,894
An Imperial visit there would
bring pride to all samurai.
459
00:37:27,457 --> 00:37:30,322
It is only a stone's throw
from the Imperial Palace.
460
00:37:30,721 --> 00:37:33,990
Still, the Imperial Palace
is the Court's territory.
461
00:37:34,654 --> 00:37:37,401
Nijo Castle is in shogunate territory.
462
00:37:39,841 --> 00:37:42,173
If the Shogun so orders,
463
00:37:42,507 --> 00:37:45,304
I shall go to Kyoto
and negotiate the matter.
464
00:38:07,178 --> 00:38:08,868
Father, Let's go.
465
00:38:10,192 --> 00:38:13,287
Come, don't dawdle.
Hurry, let's go!
466
00:38:14,720 --> 00:38:16,363
I appreciate your gesture, but...
467
00:38:16,655 --> 00:38:18,701
Father, face him like a man!
468
00:38:19,622 --> 00:38:20,815
Hurry, let's go!
469
00:38:30,380 --> 00:38:34,519
Hidetada's hidden child, Komatsu,
came to Edo Castle...
470
00:38:34,933 --> 00:38:38,152
with his foster father,
Hoshina Masamitsu.
471
00:38:40,407 --> 00:38:44,544
I am honored to appear
before you, My Lord.
472
00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:48,115
And for your exceptional kindness...
473
00:38:48,500 --> 00:38:52,799
in allowing my son Komatsu
to appear before you.
474
00:38:53,146 --> 00:38:55,540
I thank you most gratefully!
475
00:38:57,114 --> 00:38:59,464
I am Masamitsu's son, Komatsu.
476
00:39:00,532 --> 00:39:04,091
I am overjoyed to have the
honor of seeing you, My Lord.
477
00:39:08,173 --> 00:39:09,507
Raise your heads.
478
00:39:12,705 --> 00:39:16,770
Hoshina Komatsu (Hidetada's 3rd son)
479
00:39:27,175 --> 00:39:29,452
Komatsu, how old are you?
480
00:39:30,964 --> 00:39:32,411
I am fifteen, Your Excellency.
481
00:39:33,319 --> 00:39:34,622
You have a fine face.
482
00:39:35,526 --> 00:39:36,955
Thank you, Your Excellency.
483
00:39:40,190 --> 00:39:42,787
Are you applying yourself to your studies?
484
00:39:44,146 --> 00:39:45,647
- Yes.
- Anything else?
485
00:39:46,615 --> 00:39:48,853
I am learning fencing and swimming.
486
00:39:49,968 --> 00:39:51,077
Swimming?
487
00:39:57,436 --> 00:39:59,075
Hoshina Masamitsu...
488
00:40:01,902 --> 00:40:05,227
You have a fine son.
489
00:40:06,084 --> 00:40:07,737
Thank you, My Lord.
490
00:40:11,553 --> 00:40:12,459
Come forward.
491
00:40:13,831 --> 00:40:14,954
I shall give you a sword.
492
00:40:39,325 --> 00:40:40,670
Come closer.
493
00:41:03,014 --> 00:41:06,429
Thank you, My Lord.
494
00:41:10,112 --> 00:41:11,995
This is a Kiyomitsu.
495
00:41:13,407 --> 00:41:14,745
Cherish it.
496
00:41:17,546 --> 00:41:20,184
I will, My Lord.
497
00:41:26,816 --> 00:41:31,077
Obey your father Masamitsu
in all things.
498
00:41:32,541 --> 00:41:36,746
Do your best faithfully
and with propriety.
499
00:41:38,284 --> 00:41:39,044
Yes.
500
00:41:40,660 --> 00:41:42,564
Komatsu is exceedingly bright...
501
00:41:42,976 --> 00:41:47,250
and extremely popular with our vassals.
502
00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:51,705
No doubt.
It's in his blood.
503
00:41:53,247 --> 00:41:54,688
Thank you, My Lord!
504
00:41:55,069 --> 00:41:57,450
No, I don't mean you.
505
00:41:58,531 --> 00:42:00,507
Oh, I guess I do.
506
00:42:07,615 --> 00:42:09,857
After your manhood rites,
507
00:42:10,319 --> 00:42:16,142
the Shogun will surely
make a place for you.
508
00:42:18,105 --> 00:42:20,583
Thank you, My Lord.
509
00:42:28,645 --> 00:42:31,512
Let me see your face.
510
00:42:34,306 --> 00:42:37,737
To be continued.
511
00:42:58,409 --> 00:43:01,938
To be continued.
