1
00:00:11,778 --> 00:00:13,983
On October 10, 1629,
2
00:00:14,311 --> 00:00:17,684
Iemitsu's wetnurse Ofuku
was received in Court...
3
00:00:17,989 --> 00:00:20,990
by Emperor Go-Mizuno-o,
4
00:00:21,342 --> 00:00:25,232
and her name was changed
to Kasuga-no-Tsubone.
5
00:00:25,613 --> 00:00:30,718
However, this incident infuriated
the proud nobles.
6
00:00:32,959 --> 00:00:34,256
My Lord...
7
00:00:34,536 --> 00:00:36,552
What is it?
8
00:00:37,028 --> 00:00:41,179
What was the reason that
the nobles were so furious?
9
00:00:41,647 --> 00:00:42,803
Don't you know?
10
00:00:43,100 --> 00:00:45,764
I'm only pretending not to know.
11
00:00:46,027 --> 00:00:48,094
How impudent.
12
00:00:48,543 --> 00:00:49,294
Kakubei!
13
00:00:51,085 --> 00:00:55,076
Ofuku was a woman of no status.
A lowly wetnurse.
14
00:00:55,076 --> 00:00:55,789
That's right.
15
00:00:56,134 --> 00:00:58,682
Granting such a woman audience
with the Emperor...
16
00:00:58,931 --> 00:01:01,791
damages terribly the
prestige of the Court.
17
00:01:02,055 --> 00:01:05,858
But Ofuku went as
Shogun Iemitsu's representative!
18
00:01:06,166 --> 00:01:10,156
That proves the shogunate's
disrespect for the Court.
19
00:01:10,369 --> 00:01:11,283
A spiteful move!
20
00:01:11,283 --> 00:01:12,498
Watch what you say!
21
00:01:12,761 --> 00:01:14,026
That was not all.
22
00:01:14,347 --> 00:01:16,668
Lady Kasuga had the gall to request...
23
00:01:16,983 --> 00:01:18,167
a special performance of Court music!
24
00:01:18,510 --> 00:01:21,672
Are you siding with the nobles?!
25
00:01:21,887 --> 00:01:24,638
It's an objective analysis!
26
00:01:24,908 --> 00:01:25,872
Objective?!
27
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,888
Familiar faces appear before you again.

Emperor Go-Mizuno-o
50
00:04:51,777 --> 00:04:53,901
Perhaps this is sudden.
51
00:04:55,679 --> 00:04:58,590
But for various reasons...
52
00:04:59,058 --> 00:05:02,601
I abdicate the Throne this day.
53
00:05:12,335 --> 00:05:15,429
Onna Ichinomiya, come forward.
54
00:05:35,401 --> 00:05:40,154
By our Imperial Ancestors,
I yield the Throne to you.
55
00:05:48,966 --> 00:05:50,465
Your Majesty...
56
00:05:52,717 --> 00:05:57,872
Will you send an Imperial Edict
to the Kanto?
57
00:06:02,249 --> 00:06:05,455
Succession to the Throne...
58
00:06:05,889 --> 00:06:08,876
cannot be dictated by the shogunate.
59
00:06:12,521 --> 00:06:15,703
Imperial Consort Masako informed Edo...
60
00:06:16,092 --> 00:06:18,343
of the Emperor's sudden abdication.
61
00:06:21,703 --> 00:06:22,844
He abdicated?
62
00:06:39,346 --> 00:06:42,089
That's hot!
Hot!
63
00:06:44,617 --> 00:06:45,534
That's hot!
64
00:06:46,660 --> 00:06:50,566
He probably plans
to install a child Empress...
65
00:06:50,989 --> 00:06:54,505
and have a Regent control everything.
66
00:06:55,243 --> 00:06:56,818
We must adamantly object!
67
00:06:58,848 --> 00:07:00,036
Toshikatsu...
68
00:07:02,257 --> 00:07:03,912
What does the Ogosho say?
69
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:07,540
He says to ignore it.
70
00:07:08,008 --> 00:07:09,005
Ignore it?
71
00:07:09,568 --> 00:07:13,979
To ignore it until
an Imperial Envoy brings word.
72
00:07:20,993 --> 00:07:23,480
With Emperor Go-Mizuno-o's abdication,
73
00:07:23,806 --> 00:07:26,493
Consort Masako became
Empress Dowager...
74
00:07:26,900 --> 00:07:29,342
and was called Tofukumon-in.
75
00:07:34,039 --> 00:07:35,871
I pray no harm comes.
76
00:07:37,326 --> 00:07:38,525
My Lady?
77
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:46,607
My sister Princess Sen had wed
into the Toyotomi house.
78
00:07:48,293 --> 00:07:50,574
The Tokugawa, Father's house,
destroyed them.
79
00:07:51,512 --> 00:07:53,502
Nonsense.
80
00:07:55,474 --> 00:08:01,429
Lady Yodo's arrogance caused
the Toyotomi's destruction.
81
00:08:01,770 --> 00:08:07,336
Lady Chuwamon-in,
Emperor Go-Mizuno-o's mother,
82
00:08:07,647 --> 00:08:11,992
hurried here to admonish him
for his rash action.
83
00:08:13,653 --> 00:08:17,428
Moreover, Princess Onna Ichinomiya...
84
00:08:17,804 --> 00:08:22,217
is the Ogosho's granddaughter
and niece of the Shogun.
85
00:08:24,836 --> 00:08:29,478
No harm will come to you.
86
00:08:34,634 --> 00:08:37,713
December 1
87
00:08:38,058 --> 00:08:39,683
We cannot accept
the Emperor's abdication!
88
00:08:39,900 --> 00:08:44,746
Then we shall go to Edo
and tell the Shogun in person.
89
00:08:45,016 --> 00:08:46,486
Would you bypass the Kyoto Deputy?!
90
00:08:46,748 --> 00:08:48,482
This is an Imperial Order!
91
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:51,215
The shogunate cannot accept
this sudden abdication!
92
00:08:52,108 --> 00:08:53,888
Oh, my word...
93
00:08:55,028 --> 00:08:59,700
It is the Emperor's wish to abdicate.
94
00:09:00,434 --> 00:09:02,949
I've heard His Majesty's
mother Chuwamon-in...
95
00:09:03,295 --> 00:09:05,373
admonished him for it.
96
00:09:07,188 --> 00:09:08,470
Tsuchimikado...
97
00:09:09,326 --> 00:09:14,687
I've heard you were ordered
to perpetrate this outrage.
98
00:09:14,968 --> 00:09:18,522
Perpetrate?
How very rude of you, sir.
99
00:09:18,522 --> 00:09:19,614
Silence!
100
00:09:21,344 --> 00:09:24,190
The shogunate will conduct
an investigation of this matter!
101
00:09:25,250 --> 00:09:28,004
Be so prepared, my lords.
102
00:09:28,439 --> 00:09:30,189
And answer truthfully!
103
00:09:33,565 --> 00:09:35,082
Very well.
104
00:09:39,705 --> 00:09:43,772
Thus, with bitter feelings
between shogunate and Court,
105
00:09:44,112 --> 00:09:48,269
the new year of 1630 began.
106
00:09:52,414 --> 00:09:56,606
The Go-Sekke paid their
New Year's call at Nijo Castle.
107
00:09:57,198 --> 00:10:00,693
They all asked that the
Ogosho and Shogun come to Kyoto.
108
00:10:01,709 --> 00:10:04,397
Go to Kyoto?
Whatever for?
109
00:10:05,072 --> 00:10:09,949
In September the coronation
of the Empress will take place.
110
00:10:10,336 --> 00:10:12,513
Huh? That's absurd.
111
00:10:13,773 --> 00:10:17,649
I'll see right here from Edo...
112
00:10:18,038 --> 00:10:21,756
if a coronation is possible
without the shogunate approval.
113
00:10:22,734 --> 00:10:24,899
Shall I say that in your reply?
114
00:10:25,227 --> 00:10:27,651
No. There's no need to reply.
115
00:10:28,233 --> 00:10:29,152
Huh?
116
00:10:30,296 --> 00:10:34,852
Ignore the nobles until they capitulate.
117
00:10:49,933 --> 00:10:53,124
March 4...
118
00:10:53,611 --> 00:10:59,402
Hidetada's 4th daughter and
Kyogoku Tadataka's wife Princess Hatsu...
119
00:10:59,732 --> 00:11:01,341
died at their Edo mansion.
120
00:11:01,876 --> 00:11:04,607
She was 28 years old.
121
00:11:09,552 --> 00:11:11,045
Please forgive me.
122
00:11:11,498 --> 00:11:14,156
The Kyogoku did everything possible
to save her.
123
00:11:14,751 --> 00:11:16,405
Don't lie.
124
00:11:20,189 --> 00:11:22,343
When Ohatsu lay dying,
125
00:11:22,718 --> 00:11:26,096
Tadataka was watching a sumo match!
126
00:11:27,048 --> 00:11:29,188
It could not be helped.
127
00:11:29,711 --> 00:11:30,993
Sister...
128
00:11:32,023 --> 00:11:35,909
Ogou is grieving.
129
00:11:36,586 --> 00:11:39,909
I raised Ohatsu tenderly.
130
00:11:40,301 --> 00:11:43,394
Perhaps it was a mistake to allow it.
131
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:53,755
Lord Kyogoku Tadataka is here.
132
00:11:54,724 --> 00:11:55,785
I refuse to see him.
133
00:11:56,067 --> 00:11:58,523
Shigemasa...
134
00:11:59,151 --> 00:12:03,474
I place Kyogoku Tadataka
under house arrest!
135
00:12:03,943 --> 00:12:04,741
Tell him so.
136
00:12:18,218 --> 00:12:19,976
I must speak, Sir.
137
00:12:20,540 --> 00:12:22,058
I don't want to hear it.
138
00:12:22,538 --> 00:12:24,867
If you love your daughters so much,
139
00:12:25,186 --> 00:12:27,978
please take a little pity
upon Masako as well!
140
00:12:28,886 --> 00:12:30,076
What?
141
00:12:30,684 --> 00:12:33,564
You made her marry the Emperor
for political reasons,
142
00:12:33,932 --> 00:12:36,889
only to argue with him now.
143
00:12:37,529 --> 00:12:39,888
It grieves Masako so,
144
00:12:40,218 --> 00:12:41,968
she must be weeping every night!
145
00:12:42,245 --> 00:12:43,651
Lady Jokoin...
146
00:12:43,979 --> 00:12:45,750
Your interference is not wanted.
147
00:12:46,032 --> 00:12:48,386
I speak as Ogou's voice!
148
00:12:51,390 --> 00:12:52,948
Thinking back...
149
00:12:53,307 --> 00:12:56,729
You wed Princess Sen to Lord Hideyori
and destroyed the Toyotomi.
150
00:12:58,013 --> 00:13:01,559
You wed Princess Tama to the Maeda
and let her die in Kanazawa.
151
00:13:02,332 --> 00:13:06,017
You wed Princess Katsu to Tadanao
and made her divorce him.
152
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:09,809
And now once more,
you endanger Masako's position.
153
00:13:10,318 --> 00:13:12,833
As a parent, aren't you ashamed?!
154
00:13:16,255 --> 00:13:18,062
Everything you mentioned...
155
00:13:18,328 --> 00:13:22,296
was what the Dai-Gongen ordered!
156
00:13:23,797 --> 00:13:25,768
Women are human as well.
157
00:13:27,657 --> 00:13:29,628
They're not tools for politics!
158
00:13:30,692 --> 00:13:32,799
Though you are my sister-in-law,
159
00:13:33,161 --> 00:13:35,675
I'll suffer no more insolence from you.
160
00:13:36,096 --> 00:13:38,456
Leave.
161
00:13:40,706 --> 00:13:41,956
Leave!
162
00:13:45,958 --> 00:13:46,864
Please...
163
00:13:49,337 --> 00:13:52,740
Please reconsider, Sir!
164
00:14:10,355 --> 00:14:12,431
Ogou...
165
00:14:13,430 --> 00:14:15,866
I miss you.
166
00:14:32,921 --> 00:14:37,202
For allowing me to go back to Sunpu...
167
00:14:37,561 --> 00:14:40,361
I thank you, Your Excellency.
168
00:14:42,127 --> 00:14:43,611
Tadanaga...
169
00:14:44,984 --> 00:14:47,829
Last fall in Sunpu,
170
00:14:48,236 --> 00:14:52,048
you met with Hoshina Masamitsu's
heir Komatsu.
171
00:14:52,820 --> 00:14:54,265
Is that correct?
172
00:14:54,814 --> 00:14:56,257
Yes, Your Excellency.
173
00:14:56,738 --> 00:14:58,925
Did you know he is our younger brother?
174
00:15:00,177 --> 00:15:01,820
Father told me.
175
00:15:02,111 --> 00:15:03,549
Why didn't you report the meeting?!
176
00:15:06,143 --> 00:15:09,737
I am Shogun and your older brother.
177
00:15:10,115 --> 00:15:14,101
It was shameless audacity
to meet with him first!
178
00:15:20,917 --> 00:15:24,229
Even when Mother died,
179
00:15:24,668 --> 00:15:28,397
you donated a memorial tower
to the Mt. Koya monastery!
180
00:15:28,867 --> 00:15:31,117
I had been raised by Mother...
181
00:15:31,493 --> 00:15:35,618
and received training beyond measure!
182
00:15:36,367 --> 00:15:37,772
I also ask...
183
00:15:38,730 --> 00:15:43,716
When I was stricken with smallpox,
didn't you say...
184
00:15:44,150 --> 00:15:48,586
you, the second son,
should succeed me?
185
00:15:52,274 --> 00:15:54,355
Listen well.
186
00:15:54,807 --> 00:15:57,244
According to the Dai-Gongen's
last wishes...
187
00:15:57,656 --> 00:16:00,027
if I have no sons,
188
00:16:00,446 --> 00:16:03,431
the 4th Shogun would be
Gorohachimaru of Owari...
189
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:07,234
or Nagatomimaru of Kishu.
190
00:16:09,464 --> 00:16:12,971
No matter what happens to me,
191
00:16:13,421 --> 00:16:18,624
you will never succeed
to the Tokugawa house.
192
00:16:22,247 --> 00:16:25,209
Never be conceited again.
193
00:16:48,047 --> 00:16:52,440
Lord Tadanaga of Suruga
left Edo in despair.
194
00:16:52,877 --> 00:16:57,143
It would be the last time
the brothers would meet.
195
00:17:07,705 --> 00:17:09,487
Date Masamune
196
00:17:09,847 --> 00:17:12,222
I understand Lady Chuwamon-in is ill.
197
00:17:15,278 --> 00:17:20,245
I sent a representative
to call on her right away.
198
00:17:23,255 --> 00:17:26,457
That was very good.
199
00:17:29,099 --> 00:17:33,305
There seems to be much
discord in the Palace...
200
00:17:33,758 --> 00:17:37,029
concerning His Majesty's abdication.
201
00:17:40,008 --> 00:17:45,198
If I may be so bold as to ask, Sir...
202
00:17:46,134 --> 00:17:49,086
Why does the shogunate object...
203
00:17:49,523 --> 00:17:55,352
to Onna Ichinomiya's
ascension to Empress?
204
00:17:58,481 --> 00:18:00,467
It goes without saying.
205
00:18:01,353 --> 00:18:04,156
With no previous notice or leave,
206
00:18:04,543 --> 00:18:09,294
the Emperor abdicated
in favor of Onna Ichinomiya.
207
00:18:09,626 --> 00:18:13,136
But to object for so little?
208
00:18:16,888 --> 00:18:20,345
Shogunate pride must be upheld.
209
00:18:20,998 --> 00:18:24,888
Princess Onna Ichinomiya
is your granddaughter.
210
00:18:28,639 --> 00:18:30,703
That's a separate matter.
211
00:18:31,128 --> 00:18:32,858
Others will see it...
212
00:18:33,360 --> 00:18:36,890
as shogunate harassment of the Court.
213
00:18:38,703 --> 00:18:40,546
That's not so.
214
00:18:43,999 --> 00:18:47,366
The Court has an alarming motive...
215
00:18:47,923 --> 00:18:52,360
for installing a female sovereign.
216
00:18:53,188 --> 00:18:54,814
An alarming motive?
217
00:18:56,676 --> 00:18:59,970
A female sovereign cannot marry.
218
00:19:00,521 --> 00:19:04,017
Thus, she cannot bear children.
219
00:19:06,745 --> 00:19:09,723
If Onna Ichinomiya becomes Empress,
220
00:19:10,471 --> 00:19:14,846
our Tokugawa line in the
Imperial house will end.
221
00:19:39,812 --> 00:19:43,445
Ofuri
222
00:19:46,154 --> 00:19:47,007
Your Excellency...
223
00:19:48,223 --> 00:19:49,259
Speak.
224
00:19:51,164 --> 00:19:55,718
The Ogosho bids us send
physician Saka Yugen to Kyoto.
225
00:19:56,444 --> 00:19:57,791
Saka Yugen?
226
00:19:58,567 --> 00:20:02,544
He offers Lady Chuwamon-in
acupuncture treatment.
227
00:20:07,979 --> 00:20:11,834
To Chuwamon-in, who was gravely ill,
228
00:20:12,150 --> 00:20:16,276
Hidetada also sent shogunate
physician Nakarai Narichika.
229
00:20:20,195 --> 00:20:23,772
June 23
230
00:20:25,569 --> 00:20:29,981
On June 23, Hoshina Masamitsu,
Lord of Shinano Takato,
231
00:20:30,354 --> 00:20:33,994
accompanied his son Komatsu
to be received by Shogun Iemitsu.
232
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:41,777
This was the hidden son
that Hidetada had by an attendant.
233
00:20:51,891 --> 00:20:52,969
Raise your head.
234
00:20:57,706 --> 00:21:03,732
We are overjoyed to see
you so well, Your Excellency.
235
00:21:05,766 --> 00:21:10,754
It is a great honor to see you,
Your Excellency.
236
00:21:11,474 --> 00:21:14,815
I am Hoshina Masamitsu's
adopted son, Komatsu.
237
00:21:16,447 --> 00:21:17,990
Come forward.
238
00:21:19,978 --> 00:21:22,102
Now, come closer.
Closer.
239
00:21:34,485 --> 00:21:36,384
How old are you, Komatsu?
240
00:21:37,288 --> 00:21:38,693
Nineteen, Your Excellency.
241
00:21:39,258 --> 00:21:40,669
What is your mother's name?
242
00:21:40,987 --> 00:21:42,209
Shizu, Your Excellency.
243
00:21:43,430 --> 00:21:45,522
Is she still well?
244
00:21:46,733 --> 00:21:48,621
She lives peacefully in Takato.
245
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:52,145
When you were little,
246
00:21:52,448 --> 00:21:54,617
you lived in Bijuni Mansion
with your mother, didn't you?
247
00:21:54,985 --> 00:21:56,566
Under Lady Kenshoin's protection.
248
00:21:59,641 --> 00:22:01,579
Father is really timid.
249
00:22:02,170 --> 00:22:06,138
In fear of Her Ladyship,
he sent you far away!
250
00:22:09,954 --> 00:22:11,908
Toshikatsu is a coward, too.
251
00:22:12,575 --> 00:22:16,584
You knew everything,
but kept it from me.
252
00:22:17,980 --> 00:22:23,985
If it had been discovered,
he could have been killed.
253
00:22:30,073 --> 00:22:32,811
There is no more need to fear.
254
00:22:33,536 --> 00:22:36,436
Come to see me whenever you wish!
255
00:22:37,581 --> 00:22:40,256
Thank you, Your Excellency.
256
00:22:41,363 --> 00:22:45,049
I must make it up to you
in Father's place.
257
00:22:52,877 --> 00:22:54,317
Masamitsu...
258
00:22:56,127 --> 00:22:58,446
Though you had a son,
259
00:22:58,810 --> 00:23:02,134
you disowned him and
made Komatsu heir, didn't you?
260
00:23:02,878 --> 00:23:07,009
Thank you for raising him so well.
261
00:23:08,588 --> 00:23:12,437
I, Iemitsu, thank you!
262
00:23:14,382 --> 00:23:19,973
I am hardly worthy, Sire.
Thank you!
263
00:23:38,684 --> 00:23:39,698
Komatsu...
264
00:23:40,132 --> 00:23:41,027
Stand up.
265
00:23:44,388 --> 00:23:46,042
Stand up, I say.
266
00:23:54,264 --> 00:23:56,813
Oh, you are really tall!
267
00:24:01,481 --> 00:24:03,969
What do you think, Tadayo?
Does he resemble me?
268
00:24:05,911 --> 00:24:09,639
Aren't his finely chiseled features
exactly like mine?
269
00:24:11,171 --> 00:24:12,688
Yes, Your Excellency.
270
00:24:14,081 --> 00:24:15,091
What's so funny?
271
00:24:21,934 --> 00:24:22,661
Sit down.
272
00:24:27,198 --> 00:24:28,135
Komatsu...
273
00:24:29,457 --> 00:24:30,770
Do you enjoy river pastimes?
274
00:24:31,364 --> 00:24:31,818
Yes.
275
00:24:32,895 --> 00:24:36,253
Komatsu is an expert swimmer,
Your Excellency.
276
00:24:36,642 --> 00:24:38,230
Oh, that's excellent!
277
00:24:39,305 --> 00:24:41,675
The day after tomorrow,
278
00:24:42,018 --> 00:24:43,580
I shall review the navel troops.
279
00:24:45,113 --> 00:24:47,430
After that, I will go boating.
280
00:24:48,292 --> 00:24:49,698
You come, too.
281
00:24:50,818 --> 00:24:52,413
Yes, Your Excellency!
282
00:24:56,816 --> 00:24:57,477
Earthquake!
283
00:24:58,385 --> 00:24:58,881
Pardon!
284
00:25:22,450 --> 00:25:25,014
July 3...
285
00:25:25,529 --> 00:25:29,800
The Ex-Emperor's mother,
Chuwamon-in Sakiko, died.
286
00:25:30,298 --> 00:25:32,974
She was 56 years old.
287
00:25:40,941 --> 00:25:43,518
The Ogosho suggests...
288
00:25:43,893 --> 00:25:48,044
that the shogunate send
condolence callers.
289
00:25:48,828 --> 00:25:50,537
I know that.
290
00:25:51,413 --> 00:25:54,721
Representing the Ogosho
will be Osawa Motoshige.
291
00:25:55,552 --> 00:25:58,598
Representing the Shogun
will be Kira Yoshifuyu.
292
00:25:59,062 --> 00:26:00,163
Okay, fine.
293
00:26:00,827 --> 00:26:04,687
The Ogosho would also like
to send a message.
294
00:26:05,727 --> 00:26:06,755
What is it?!
295
00:26:08,989 --> 00:26:12,930
Due to various circumstances,
the Emperor's abdication...
296
00:26:13,274 --> 00:26:16,493
and Princess Onna Ichinomiya's
ascension to the Throne...
297
00:26:16,950 --> 00:26:20,200
are respectfully accepted.
298
00:26:23,430 --> 00:26:25,678
He accepts a female sovereign?!
299
00:26:26,431 --> 00:26:27,706
That's right, Sire.
300
00:26:28,214 --> 00:26:32,071
That's outrageous!
What of the Shogun's pride?!
301
00:26:32,893 --> 00:26:38,746
You must ask the Ogosho
about that, Sire.
302
00:26:46,881 --> 00:26:47,774
Did you find it?
303
00:26:48,131 --> 00:26:52,388
Yes, the female sovereign is an Empress.
304
00:26:52,772 --> 00:26:54,398
I know that!
305
00:26:54,775 --> 00:26:57,587
The first in Japan was Empress Suiko.
306
00:26:57,901 --> 00:27:02,026
Her reign lasted from 592 A.D. to 628 A.D.
307
00:27:02,326 --> 00:27:06,337
Empress Kogyoku, 642 to 645.
308
00:27:06,555 --> 00:27:10,276
Empress Saimei, 655 to 661.
309
00:27:10,556 --> 00:27:14,580
Empress Jito, 686 to 697.
310
00:27:15,106 --> 00:27:17,057
These were all until the Asuka Period.
311
00:27:17,479 --> 00:27:19,360
Next, the Nara Period...
312
00:27:19,877 --> 00:27:25,588
Empress Genmei, 707 to 715.
Empress Gensho, 715 to 724.
313
00:27:25,842 --> 00:27:32,299
Empress Koken, 749 to 758.
Empress Shotoku, 764 to 770.
314
00:27:36,951 --> 00:27:38,997
There were eight in all.
315
00:27:39,279 --> 00:27:39,923
Six.
316
00:27:40,890 --> 00:27:42,341
One, two, three...
317
00:27:42,654 --> 00:27:45,889
Empresses Saimei and Kogyoku
were one person.
318
00:27:46,567 --> 00:27:49,523
Empresses Koken and Shotoku
were also one person.
319
00:27:50,020 --> 00:27:53,220
In other words, they served
twice as Empress.
320
00:27:54,257 --> 00:27:55,908
Until the Asuka Period,
321
00:27:56,272 --> 00:28:00,767
all Empresses had previously
been Imperial Consort.
322
00:28:01,406 --> 00:28:03,207
From Imperial Consort to Empress?
323
00:28:03,646 --> 00:28:05,773
But in the Nara Period (646-794),
324
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:07,961
none of the Empresses
were former Consorts.
325
00:28:12,493 --> 00:28:15,596
Now, if Hidetada's grandchild Okiko
becomes Empress,
326
00:28:15,885 --> 00:28:21,821
she would be the first female sovereign
in 859 years!
327
00:28:22,162 --> 00:28:23,962
859 years!
328
00:28:24,466 --> 00:28:26,097
- May I ask a question?
- Go ahead.
329
00:28:26,517 --> 00:28:30,305
What is this A.D. that appears
after the years?
330
00:28:30,816 --> 00:28:33,744
It's the Western way
of calculating the calendar.
331
00:28:34,056 --> 00:28:34,996
Outrageous.
332
00:28:35,489 --> 00:28:39,316
Use the Western calendar
to study our country's history?
333
00:28:39,616 --> 00:28:41,006
It's for convenience's sake.
334
00:28:41,006 --> 00:28:42,552
I cannot accept it.
335
00:28:43,092 --> 00:28:44,259
Don't argue!
336
00:28:45,614 --> 00:28:48,458
July 13
337
00:28:48,740 --> 00:28:49,490
Raise your heads.
338
00:28:50,067 --> 00:28:51,553
Tadakatsu, Masakatsu, Shigemune!
339
00:28:51,927 --> 00:28:53,011
Come closer.
340
00:28:58,022 --> 00:29:01,022
A confidential report
came from Lady Acha.
341
00:29:01,742 --> 00:29:05,108
Tofukumon-in (Masako)
has conceived again.
342
00:29:05,636 --> 00:29:08,617
Oh, joyous news!
343
00:29:11,103 --> 00:29:12,742
If she bears a son,
344
00:29:13,182 --> 00:29:15,791
he can ascend the Throne in adulthood.
345
00:29:16,541 --> 00:29:19,806
Onna Ichinomiya will serve
in the interim till then.
346
00:29:20,649 --> 00:29:22,120
Yes, Sire.
347
00:29:24,308 --> 00:29:25,542
Father...
348
00:29:26,704 --> 00:29:29,921
Is it not against
the Dai-Gongen's wishes...
349
00:29:30,274 --> 00:29:32,432
to do the bidding of the Court?
350
00:29:35,861 --> 00:29:37,495
We are not doing their bidding.
351
00:29:37,870 --> 00:29:40,266
The shogunate didn't give their approval...
352
00:29:40,266 --> 00:29:42,217
to either the abdication or the Empress!
353
00:29:44,829 --> 00:29:45,839
Shigemune...
354
00:29:46,981 --> 00:29:49,423
Go to Kyoto at once.
355
00:29:50,747 --> 00:29:54,404
Present a memorandum regarding
Onna Ichinomiya's coronation.
356
00:29:54,809 --> 00:29:55,956
Yes, My Lord.
357
00:29:56,673 --> 00:29:57,641
Toshikatsu...
358
00:29:57,988 --> 00:29:58,628
Tadayo...
359
00:30:00,030 --> 00:30:02,968
Go with Konchiin Suden to Kyoto...
360
00:30:03,458 --> 00:30:07,927
and plan the rites for
Onna Ichinomiya's coronation.
361
00:30:08,359 --> 00:30:09,520
Yes, Sire.
362
00:30:11,020 --> 00:30:15,375
It must be on a lucky day
in early September.
363
00:30:15,709 --> 00:30:16,906
Yes, Sire.
364
00:30:25,534 --> 00:30:28,908
Properly speaking,
samurai are protectors of the Court.
365
00:30:29,773 --> 00:30:33,095
Fighting the nobles will ill serve our land.
366
00:30:33,504 --> 00:30:34,941
However...
367
00:30:35,409 --> 00:30:39,160
Nobles who allowed
the Emperor's abdication...
368
00:30:39,487 --> 00:30:42,691
must be punished.
369
00:30:43,114 --> 00:30:45,772
Therefore, the coronation
of Onna Ichinomiya...
370
00:30:46,121 --> 00:30:48,287
will be under the guardianship
of the shogunate.
371
00:30:49,403 --> 00:30:50,507
Father...
372
00:30:52,337 --> 00:30:56,333
By custom, samurai are not allowed
to participate.
373
00:30:59,286 --> 00:31:01,600
It doesn't matter...
374
00:31:02,397 --> 00:31:05,779
as long as we hold the power.
375
00:31:14,093 --> 00:31:15,312
Masakatsu...
376
00:31:21,206 --> 00:31:24,875
Tell daimyo with fiefs
over 100,000 koku...
377
00:31:25,250 --> 00:31:30,984
they don't need to go
to Kyoto for the coronation.
378
00:31:32,468 --> 00:31:36,313
Tell them to send only gifts.
379
00:31:37,282 --> 00:31:38,438
Yes, Sire.
380
00:31:47,535 --> 00:31:50,971
September 12, 1630...
381
00:31:51,439 --> 00:31:54,815
in the Shishiiden Hall
of the Imperial Palace,
382
00:31:55,190 --> 00:31:57,941
the coronation took place.
383
00:31:59,006 --> 00:32:06,288
Onna Ichinomiya Okiko ascended
to the Throne at the age of 8.
384
00:32:07,006 --> 00:32:11,098
She became Empress Meisho.
385
00:32:32,169 --> 00:32:33,713
What is it?
386
00:32:37,087 --> 00:32:41,118
The shogunate has made
an outrageous demand.
387
00:32:43,824 --> 00:32:47,371
Samurai Intermediary Nakanoin Michimura...
388
00:32:47,745 --> 00:32:50,577
has displeased both Shoguns.
389
00:32:51,154 --> 00:32:53,604
They asked for his dismissal.
390
00:32:54,558 --> 00:32:57,465
Why are they displeased?
391
00:32:57,995 --> 00:33:02,464
It is because of my curt speech
and rude ways.
392
00:33:02,894 --> 00:33:07,918
Samurai Intermediary
is an Imperial appointment.
393
00:33:08,497 --> 00:33:10,716
They say Michimura should be replaced...
394
00:33:11,030 --> 00:33:14,683
by Great Minister Hino Sukekatsu!
395
00:33:15,247 --> 00:33:18,646
Even more outrageous.
396
00:33:19,577 --> 00:33:22,014
What should we do, Your Majesty?
397
00:33:26,608 --> 00:33:28,812
What do you say, Michimura?
398
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:36,625
Since the shogunate is angry
about the sudden abdication,
399
00:33:37,050 --> 00:33:41,094
we should avoid any trouble for now.
400
00:33:45,408 --> 00:33:48,267
The samurai may do as they please.
401
00:33:49,115 --> 00:33:52,019
Please tell them so.
402
00:34:13,817 --> 00:34:18,329
September 16
403
00:34:18,695 --> 00:34:22,486
As Kyoto Deputy, I wish to speak.
404
00:34:22,899 --> 00:34:26,800
In order to relate the wishes
of the Ogosho and Shogun,
405
00:34:27,081 --> 00:34:30,973
I requested the presence
of the Five Fujiwara Houses.
406
00:34:31,286 --> 00:34:33,270
But only three appeared!
407
00:34:33,697 --> 00:34:35,005
We are most offended, Sirs!
408
00:34:35,481 --> 00:34:40,101
Unfortunately, Lord Konoe and Lord Nijo
were unable to come.
409
00:34:40,461 --> 00:34:45,769
Please excuse them.
410
00:34:46,069 --> 00:34:47,677
I do not care about the reasons!
411
00:34:48,146 --> 00:34:51,586
I, Shigemune, will remember this!
412
00:34:53,586 --> 00:34:56,789
Doi Toshikatsu...
413
00:34:57,140 --> 00:35:00,889
will now relate the wishes
of the Ogosho and the Shogun.
414
00:35:01,930 --> 00:35:04,104
We shall respectfully hear them.
415
00:35:06,242 --> 00:35:10,778
Not since the Heian Era...
416
00:35:11,934 --> 00:35:18,015
has a Princess ascended to the Throne.
417
00:35:18,643 --> 00:35:22,401
This sudden abdication by the
Emperor is most regrettable!
418
00:35:23,495 --> 00:35:25,527
However...
419
00:35:25,856 --> 00:35:28,860
since His Majesty has already
made his decision,
420
00:35:29,136 --> 00:35:31,496
it cannot be helped.
421
00:35:31,839 --> 00:35:35,561
And, since preparations
for the coronation have begun,
422
00:35:36,167 --> 00:35:40,184
there should be no ill feelings
in the future.
423
00:35:43,846 --> 00:35:47,092
The Shogun is far away in the Kanto.
424
00:35:47,469 --> 00:35:51,803
Thus, he has no way of knowing
the customs of the Court.
425
00:35:52,529 --> 00:35:55,500
Therefore, with the Gosekke
to lead them,
426
00:35:55,863 --> 00:35:58,859
nobles must work together
to ensure the continuation...
427
00:35:59,375 --> 00:36:05,125
of the Imperial line that began
with the dawn of the gods.
428
00:36:08,439 --> 00:36:11,000
We shall, sir.
429
00:36:12,050 --> 00:36:16,912
Moreover, nobles must apply
themselves to scholarship...
430
00:36:17,225 --> 00:36:22,692
and never disobey the laws of
the Tosho Dai-Gongen!
431
00:36:24,128 --> 00:36:28,146
If they should fall remiss
in these their duties,
432
00:36:28,628 --> 00:36:33,215
they will be punished
by the shogunate!
433
00:36:35,212 --> 00:36:39,152
So let it be known.
434
00:36:44,067 --> 00:36:46,850
Speak if there be objections.
435
00:36:48,881 --> 00:36:52,229
Not that this is an objection...
436
00:36:53,540 --> 00:36:58,303
but I wish to ask a question.
437
00:36:59,148 --> 00:37:00,492
Speak.
438
00:37:01,445 --> 00:37:08,103
The Imperial Palace has received
until now 20,000 koku.
439
00:37:08,507 --> 00:37:13,962
But the sum was reduced
to 10,000 koku.
440
00:37:14,442 --> 00:37:17,092
Why is that?
441
00:37:18,913 --> 00:37:22,011
It is because the Empress is a child.
442
00:37:22,505 --> 00:37:24,745
She may be a child,
443
00:37:25,150 --> 00:37:29,446
but Palace costs and
goods remain the same.
444
00:37:29,888 --> 00:37:36,638
Even so, a female sovereign
should not incur special expenses.
445
00:37:40,011 --> 00:37:43,100
I also wish to ask...
446
00:37:44,888 --> 00:37:51,352
the retirement allowance
for the Ex-Emperor is 3,000 koku.
447
00:37:51,754 --> 00:37:56,311
It is difficult for him to manage
with so little.
448
00:37:56,658 --> 00:37:59,603
Please reconsider the amount.
449
00:37:59,986 --> 00:38:02,484
Is that what the Ex-Emperor said?
450
00:38:03,235 --> 00:38:06,222
It was a private query made by him.
451
00:38:06,571 --> 00:38:09,107
Such a question is inappropriate
at this time.
452
00:38:11,478 --> 00:38:13,736
It will be discussed at a later date.
453
00:38:15,038 --> 00:38:16,766
Please, my lord.
454
00:38:20,167 --> 00:38:21,651
You are truly the Ogosho.
455
00:38:22,021 --> 00:38:25,067
You have ascertained their weakness.
456
00:38:28,913 --> 00:38:31,822
Threatened by Doi Toshikatsu
and Sakai Tadayo,
457
00:38:32,237 --> 00:38:35,706
the nobles shrank back in fear.
458
00:38:36,833 --> 00:38:38,664
That is fine.
459
00:38:39,331 --> 00:38:42,269
But, we cannot deny the Ex-Emperor.
460
00:38:42,822 --> 00:38:45,848
We'll double his allowance to 6,000 koku.
461
00:38:46,413 --> 00:38:48,442
I'm sure he'll be extremely pleased.
462
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:50,491
I wonder about that?
463
00:38:52,006 --> 00:38:56,440
I hear Lady Tofukumon-in
has conceived again.
464
00:38:57,136 --> 00:39:00,172
Lord Masamune, you are incredible.
465
00:39:00,775 --> 00:39:03,129
It is exactly as you predicted.
466
00:39:03,929 --> 00:39:06,054
It will surely be a prince this time.
467
00:39:06,352 --> 00:39:07,973
Who can tell?
468
00:39:08,424 --> 00:39:10,522
I'm willing to bet 100 ryo on that!
469
00:39:10,887 --> 00:39:11,442
I refuse.
470
00:39:11,769 --> 00:39:14,788
I can't bet on a princess.
471
00:39:15,758 --> 00:39:19,733
You're absolutely right.
It would make a poor wager.
472
00:39:20,352 --> 00:39:21,771
Poor, indeed.
473
00:39:24,962 --> 00:39:31,368
My Lord, please be friendly
with the Court from now on.
474
00:39:34,338 --> 00:39:36,606
Your daughter is Tofukumon-in.
475
00:39:37,192 --> 00:39:39,652
Your granddaughter is the Empress.
476
00:39:40,521 --> 00:39:44,480
The Court and shogunate
have now become one.
477
00:39:46,110 --> 00:39:47,375
Sir Masamune...
478
00:39:48,027 --> 00:39:50,306
I owe it all to your help.
479
00:39:50,826 --> 00:39:52,660
Not at all, Sir.
480
00:39:53,393 --> 00:39:55,972
It was the power of the Dai-Gongen.
481
00:39:57,128 --> 00:39:58,563
That's true.
482
00:39:59,426 --> 00:40:02,140
That's true, still...
483
00:40:06,582 --> 00:40:08,478
October 5...
484
00:40:08,952 --> 00:40:12,555
Lord of Anotsu Castle in Ise,
Todo Takatora, passed away.
485
00:40:12,980 --> 00:40:15,289
He was 75 years old.
486
00:40:28,147 --> 00:40:30,240
Sire, I must speak to you.
487
00:40:33,957 --> 00:40:37,363
A Shinto priest of Sengen Shrine
in Sunpu...
488
00:40:37,716 --> 00:40:39,478
has appealed to the shogunate for help.
489
00:40:40,614 --> 00:40:41,921
An appeal?
490
00:40:47,021 --> 00:40:49,254
According to his letter...
491
00:40:49,607 --> 00:40:53,265
on November 11,
in the vicinity of Sengen Shrine,
492
00:40:53,656 --> 00:40:58,935
Lord Tadanaga took thousands
of beaters on a monkey hunt,
493
00:40:59,601 --> 00:41:02,815
and killed 1,200 monkeys.
494
00:41:04,456 --> 00:41:05,623
What?
495
00:41:06,704 --> 00:41:09,521
At Sengen Shrine,
496
00:41:09,924 --> 00:41:12,925
all killing has been forbidden
for 800 years.
497
00:41:13,414 --> 00:41:16,162
The monkey is worshiped as a deity.
498
00:41:16,785 --> 00:41:18,379
This is most grave.
499
00:41:20,067 --> 00:41:22,001
Also in September,
500
00:41:22,471 --> 00:41:25,642
Lord Tadanaga hunted monkeys
in Anyojiyama.
501
00:41:28,943 --> 00:41:31,320
Why didn't his vassals stop him?
502
00:41:32,718 --> 00:41:36,203
They tried, Sire.
But he refused to listen.
503
00:41:36,992 --> 00:41:41,788
He has killed attendants
on more than one occasion.
504
00:41:48,215 --> 00:41:50,057
That fool.
505
00:41:58,262 --> 00:41:59,486
Wretch!
506
00:42:00,522 --> 00:42:01,839
Forgive me, My Lord.
507
00:42:01,839 --> 00:42:03,015
No!
508
00:42:05,340 --> 00:42:06,468
At this time,
509
00:42:06,784 --> 00:42:10,924
the behavior of Lord Tadanaga
grew abhorrent.
510
00:42:16,693 --> 00:42:18,030
Sire!
511
00:42:33,945 --> 00:42:37,382
To be continued.
512
00:42:58,372 --> 00:43:02,609
To be continued.
