1
00:00:13,517 --> 00:00:18,157
The Aoi Tokugawa Sandai program you
have viewed for so long,
2
00:00:18,497 --> 00:00:20,827
has finally reached its final episode,
3
00:00:21,447 --> 00:00:28,026
thus, leaving us with
a somewhat lonely feeling.
4
00:00:28,466 --> 00:00:31,756
We would like to sincerely
thank our TV audience...
5
00:00:32,146 --> 00:00:37,436
who have loyally watched
our program for all this time.
6
00:00:40,745 --> 00:00:45,355
On January 24, 1632,
2nd Shogun Hidetada passed away...
7
00:00:45,715 --> 00:00:48,045
in the West Compound of Edo Castle.
8
00:00:48,695 --> 00:00:53,374
He was buried at Zojo-ji Temple
where Lady Ogou lay.
9
00:00:53,844 --> 00:00:55,634
He was clearly a doting husband.
10
00:00:56,074 --> 00:00:59,554
His Buddhist name from
the Court was Taitokuinden.
11
00:01:00,394 --> 00:01:01,314
Sukesabaro...
12
00:01:01,914 --> 00:01:03,904
What would you like to see
in the final episode?
13
00:01:04,234 --> 00:01:09,113
The discord between
Iemitsu and his brother.
14
00:01:09,833 --> 00:01:12,283
The poor Tadanaga was confined to Kai...
15
00:01:12,733 --> 00:01:17,023
and not allowed to attend
his father's funeral.
16
00:01:17,933 --> 00:01:20,523
What will become of him now?
17
00:01:20,863 --> 00:01:21,983
What about you, Kakubei?
18
00:01:22,362 --> 00:01:24,982
I'm interested in
the shogun's heir problem.
19
00:01:25,562 --> 00:01:29,722
Iemitsu's first son was born
in February of 1632,
20
00:01:30,102 --> 00:01:31,562
but died soon after.
21
00:01:31,982 --> 00:01:33,952
The shogun race is back
to square one again.
22
00:01:34,542 --> 00:01:41,171
Will the 4th shogun be
from Owari or Kishu?
23
00:01:41,591 --> 00:01:43,591
Your level of thought is low here.
24
00:01:44,431 --> 00:01:45,821
This is not a variety show.
25
00:01:46,971 --> 00:01:49,471
Lord, what are you interested in?
26
00:01:49,801 --> 00:01:51,370
I want to see Mito Komon.
27
00:01:51,801 --> 00:01:53,930
It's about time that
I appeared in the show.

46
00:04:38,726 --> 00:04:40,985
In February of 1632,
47
00:04:41,276 --> 00:04:43,795
there was a distribution
of gold and silver...
48
00:04:44,015 --> 00:04:45,795
according to Hidetada's will.
49
00:04:46,135 --> 00:04:48,475
Iemitsu received 300,000 pieces of gold.
50
00:04:48,895 --> 00:04:51,565
His relative lords,
as well as his hatamoto vassals,
51
00:04:51,875 --> 00:04:54,995
were granted gold and silver.
52
00:04:55,684 --> 00:04:58,804
Elders Doi Toshikatsu and Sakai Tadayo...
53
00:04:59,134 --> 00:05:01,094
both received 2,000 pieces of silver.
54
00:05:04,324 --> 00:05:07,214
Father's fortune has all been distributed,
55
00:05:07,644 --> 00:05:12,313
so why is Tosho Dai-Gongen's
fortune still stored at Sunpu?
56
00:05:12,683 --> 00:05:14,133
That displeases me.
57
00:05:15,103 --> 00:05:16,693
Have it moved to Edo Castle immediately.
58
00:05:17,723 --> 00:05:23,183
The fortune at Sunpu
was entrusted by Dai-Gongen.
59
00:05:23,633 --> 00:05:26,192
Therefore, it must not be
moved from there.
60
00:05:26,522 --> 00:05:27,472
Who said that?
61
00:05:29,592 --> 00:05:31,012
Is it Tadanaga?
62
00:05:31,702 --> 00:05:32,932
That is correct.
63
00:05:35,022 --> 00:05:39,641
How dare he talk big
when he's in confinement!
64
00:05:41,061 --> 00:05:44,211
Lord Tadanaga isn't in confinement.
65
00:05:44,661 --> 00:05:47,741
He's supposedly recuperating
from his illness now.
66
00:05:48,141 --> 00:05:49,981
Then tell Tadanaga this...
67
00:05:50,361 --> 00:05:53,310
The fortune at Sunpu
is rightfully the Shogun's.
68
00:05:53,761 --> 00:05:55,680
It is not a personal asset
to the lord of Sunpu.
69
00:05:56,270 --> 00:05:57,380
I will tell him so.
70
00:05:57,780 --> 00:06:00,970
If he objects,
then I'll confiscate his fiefs.
71
00:06:07,950 --> 00:06:09,529
If I may humbly speak...
72
00:06:09,919 --> 00:06:10,359
Go ahead.
73
00:06:11,389 --> 00:06:14,509
Lord Hoshina Masayuki of Shinano is here.
74
00:06:14,829 --> 00:06:16,299
Send him in.
75
00:06:19,419 --> 00:06:22,319
He is the love child of Shogun Hidetada.
76
00:06:22,709 --> 00:06:24,458
He received 500 pieces of silver
as inheritance.
77
00:06:26,068 --> 00:06:29,118
I am honored to see you, My Lord.
78
00:06:31,888 --> 00:06:35,988
I summoned you today
regarding the mausoleum...
79
00:06:36,358 --> 00:06:38,337
we are building at Zojo-ji Temple.
80
00:06:39,647 --> 00:06:42,657
I would like to appoint you in charge of it.
81
00:06:44,657 --> 00:06:45,358
What's wrong?
82
00:06:47,807 --> 00:06:50,447
It is a gracious and
honorable appointment,
83
00:06:51,147 --> 00:06:53,226
but I am inexperienced at it.
84
00:06:53,616 --> 00:06:54,676
Not to worry.
85
00:06:55,246 --> 00:06:58,556
Doi Toshikatsu will handle
most of the work.
86
00:07:02,656 --> 00:07:07,495
Thank you for your
many kind considerations.
87
00:07:09,395 --> 00:07:10,675
Toshikatsu...
88
00:07:12,155 --> 00:07:14,235
I'll be satisfied with
Kanei-ji Temple in Ueno.
89
00:07:15,245 --> 00:07:20,675
I'll be 60 this year,
so my days are numbered.
90
00:07:21,505 --> 00:07:22,544
Yes, you're right.
91
00:07:23,225 --> 00:07:24,375
Nobutsuna...
92
00:07:25,105 --> 00:07:26,414
I understand very well.
93
00:07:27,464 --> 00:07:29,334
I haven't said anything yet.
94
00:07:38,035 --> 00:07:41,785
The Taitokuin mausoleum
was completed on April 9,
95
00:07:42,225 --> 00:07:45,995
of that same year,
at Zojo-ji Temple in Shiba.
96
00:07:56,074 --> 00:07:58,364
You want me to forego
the visit to Nikko Shrine?
97
00:08:05,804 --> 00:08:08,673
I am the godsent child
of Tosho Dai-Gongen!
98
00:08:09,133 --> 00:08:11,333
My thoughts are different
than my father's!
99
00:08:11,763 --> 00:08:13,073
I refuse to be frugal!
100
00:08:14,913 --> 00:08:17,033
A troublesome situation has arisen.
101
00:08:17,443 --> 00:08:18,533
What is that?
102
00:08:19,203 --> 00:08:21,652
There is a conspiracy to overthrow you...
103
00:08:22,063 --> 00:08:23,792
while you are away visiting the shrine.
104
00:08:24,232 --> 00:08:25,722
Conspiracy to overthrow me?
105
00:08:27,961 --> 00:08:31,701
The leader of it appears
to be Doi Toshikatsu.
106
00:08:35,651 --> 00:08:36,961
What?
107
00:08:37,521 --> 00:08:41,970
Kato Kiyomasa's grandson,
Mitsuhiro, secretly ordered...
108
00:08:42,421 --> 00:08:45,930
hatamoto Muroga Masatoshi
to assist in the revolt...
109
00:08:46,290 --> 00:08:50,850
headed by Doi Toshikatsu
while you are at Mt. Nikko.
110
00:08:53,230 --> 00:08:54,510
That's absurd.
111
00:08:54,950 --> 00:08:56,100
That's ridiculous.
112
00:08:56,909 --> 00:08:57,989
How did you find out?
113
00:08:58,439 --> 00:09:01,799
We received a report from
Governor Inoue Shinzaemon.
114
00:09:02,669 --> 00:09:03,539
Toshikatsu...
115
00:09:04,609 --> 00:09:07,659
I am innocent of the charges.
116
00:09:08,459 --> 00:09:09,779
Of course you are.
117
00:09:10,279 --> 00:09:13,418
But having my name used
in such a secret letter...
118
00:09:13,788 --> 00:09:17,208
still shows my lack of discretion.
119
00:09:17,518 --> 00:09:19,468
Please accept my deepest apologies on it.
120
00:09:20,418 --> 00:09:22,188
Summon the lord of Kumamoto Castle.
121
00:09:23,168 --> 00:09:25,558
Kato Tadahiro will be coming
to Edo next month.
122
00:09:25,928 --> 00:09:28,717
Okay, I understand.
Conduct a thorough investigation.
123
00:09:29,157 --> 00:09:31,267
If he is guilty,
then dissolve his clan.
124
00:09:31,747 --> 00:09:33,077
Very well, Sire.
125
00:09:34,147 --> 00:09:40,077
Pardon me, but Tadahiro's younger sister
is married to Kishu Yorinobu.
126
00:09:40,386 --> 00:09:41,386
I don't care.
127
00:09:43,976 --> 00:09:46,546
I'm visiting Mt. Nikko as scheduled!
128
00:09:50,026 --> 00:09:53,386
On May 29, Kato Kiyomasa's
eldest son, Tadahiro,
129
00:09:53,676 --> 00:09:55,845
was found guilty of misconduct,
130
00:09:56,225 --> 00:09:59,355
and his 520,000 koku clan in Kumamoto
was thereby abolished.
131
00:09:59,685 --> 00:10:00,555
That sounds suspicious.
132
00:10:00,885 --> 00:10:03,205
According to the Magistrate's
investigations,
133
00:10:03,535 --> 00:10:07,125
it was a bad prank by Mitsuhiro,
Tadahiro's son.
134
00:10:07,795 --> 00:10:09,104
It wasn't anything so serious
to abolish a clan for.
135
00:10:09,415 --> 00:10:10,125
Which means?
136
00:10:10,585 --> 00:10:13,254
After Hidetada's death, the shogunate
tried to tighten control...
137
00:10:13,564 --> 00:10:17,534
over the tozama daimyo clans
by displaying Iemitsu's authority.
138
00:10:18,574 --> 00:10:21,414
That is why Kiyomasa's son,
Kato Tadahiro,
139
00:10:21,754 --> 00:10:24,264
was conveniently sacrificed.
140
00:10:24,533 --> 00:10:25,064
I see.
141
00:10:25,533 --> 00:10:27,093
That should shake up the daimyo lords.
142
00:10:28,609 --> 00:10:32,529
It was probably a scheme
of Doi Toshikatsu.
143
00:10:36,129 --> 00:10:42,198
That summer, Iemitsu swam in the
Edo Castle moat on many occasions.
144
00:10:43,678 --> 00:10:44,508
Your Excellency!
145
00:10:45,258 --> 00:10:46,398
Why it's Ofuku!
146
00:10:47,738 --> 00:10:50,058
What a disgraceful sight for a shogun!
147
00:10:50,358 --> 00:10:51,618
Please control yourself!
148
00:10:53,567 --> 00:10:56,207
Why don't you swim, too?
You'll feel good.
149
00:10:56,547 --> 00:10:57,547
Don't be absurd!
150
00:10:58,427 --> 00:10:59,827
Why aren't you stopping him?!
151
00:11:00,277 --> 00:11:01,467
What will you do if he drowns?!
152
00:11:02,257 --> 00:11:03,757
His Excellency is an excellent swimmer!
153
00:11:04,257 --> 00:11:05,427
Don't take that for granted!
154
00:11:07,346 --> 00:11:08,186
Ofuku!
155
00:11:09,406 --> 00:11:10,276
That was scary.
156
00:11:10,516 --> 00:11:11,646
I crushed an earthworm.
157
00:11:12,726 --> 00:11:15,196
Ofuku.
I'll eventually go to Kyoto!
158
00:11:15,626 --> 00:11:17,216
I can't hear what you are saying.
159
00:11:17,686 --> 00:11:19,466
To celebrate the Empress' enthronement!
160
00:11:21,246 --> 00:11:23,225
My niece became the Empress!
161
00:11:24,915 --> 00:11:26,015
Come closer!
162
00:11:27,645 --> 00:11:29,605
You say that, but...
163
00:11:31,475 --> 00:11:36,264
Listen. I'm sending you over
to the Court first.
164
00:11:37,154 --> 00:11:38,744
What did you say?
165
00:11:39,374 --> 00:11:43,754
Stay in Kyoto for a while and
learn the lifestyle of the palace.
166
00:11:44,164 --> 00:11:47,884
Lately, Tofukumonin has only
been asking for money.
167
00:11:48,854 --> 00:11:53,753
You say that, but my health
has been deteriorating.
168
00:11:54,313 --> 00:11:59,213
Long trips are much
too exhausting for me.
169
00:12:01,803 --> 00:12:06,532
You're still young!
You'll be just fine!
170
00:12:15,032 --> 00:12:18,962
In August, Lady Kasuga-no-Tsubone
went to Kyoto again,
171
00:12:19,461 --> 00:12:22,871
under Iemitsu's orders.
172
00:12:23,591 --> 00:12:24,871
She had an audience with...
173
00:12:25,151 --> 00:12:27,071
Lady Tofukumonin
at the Consort's Palace.
174
00:12:27,491 --> 00:12:29,471
Then she was summoned
to the Imperial Palace...
175
00:12:29,831 --> 00:12:33,010
for an audience
with the 10 year old Empress.
176
00:12:33,451 --> 00:12:36,090
She was granted
a second Court rank there.
177
00:12:41,550 --> 00:12:44,180
October 12
178
00:12:46,900 --> 00:12:49,019
Regarding Lord Tadanaga...
179
00:12:50,549 --> 00:12:52,269
Punish him severely.
180
00:12:53,539 --> 00:12:55,619
Despite the fact that he
is under confinement,
181
00:12:56,009 --> 00:12:59,149
he constructed a temple
for Father in Kai.
182
00:12:59,889 --> 00:13:01,639
This is truly inexcusable.
183
00:13:02,699 --> 00:13:05,958
Moreover, he spread unsavory
rumors about Kato Tadahiro,
184
00:13:06,378 --> 00:13:09,968
saying he would confine himself
in Kumamoto Castle...
185
00:13:10,408 --> 00:13:12,528
and engage in battle.
186
00:13:12,968 --> 00:13:14,138
That is correct.
187
00:13:19,297 --> 00:13:24,227
Confiscate all of Tadanaga's fiefs of
Suruga, Totomi, and Kai.
188
00:13:24,537 --> 00:13:26,907
Are you stripping him of his status?
189
00:13:27,507 --> 00:13:28,497
That is correct.
190
00:13:29,667 --> 00:13:32,786
He must be punished for his misconduct.
191
00:13:34,086 --> 00:13:36,016
October 20
192
00:13:36,456 --> 00:13:38,936
Makino Nobushige and three others
were sent to Koshu...
193
00:13:39,386 --> 00:13:41,416
to give Tadanaga his sentence.
194
00:13:46,986 --> 00:13:49,795
Lord Tokugawa Tadanaga...
195
00:13:50,865 --> 00:13:54,415
you have gone against
the ways of Heaven,
196
00:13:54,865 --> 00:13:57,355
held the government in contempt,
197
00:13:57,855 --> 00:14:00,415
and showed no signs of remorse
for your actions.
198
00:14:00,834 --> 00:14:02,834
As such, your fief of 650,000 koku
shall be confiscated...
199
00:14:03,274 --> 00:14:05,834
and you shall be exiled
to Takasaki in Kozuke Province.
200
00:14:06,984 --> 00:14:11,554
Dated, October 20, 1632
by the Council of Elders.
201
00:14:13,774 --> 00:14:15,064
I see...
202
00:14:16,263 --> 00:14:21,523
So my brother hates me that deeply.
203
00:14:22,003 --> 00:14:23,363
Please show constraint.
204
00:14:32,472 --> 00:14:36,072
I accept the sentence.
205
00:14:39,524 --> 00:14:44,644
I am mortified that I was born after him.
206
00:14:48,723 --> 00:14:50,893
Tadanaga who was banished to Takasaki,
207
00:14:51,243 --> 00:14:53,053
was placed in the custody
of Ando Shigenaga.
208
00:14:53,453 --> 00:14:55,173
Deputy castellans were appointed...
209
00:14:55,503 --> 00:14:57,633
to his former castles in Sunpu,
Totomi, and Kai.
210
00:14:58,433 --> 00:15:01,303
Ieyasu's huge fortune at Sunpu
was then moved...
211
00:15:01,773 --> 00:15:05,962
from Mt. Kuno to the treasury
in Edo Castle.
212
00:15:06,762 --> 00:15:10,302
In addition to this,
the shogunate established a system...
213
00:15:10,812 --> 00:15:13,502
to oversee the various daimyo clans.
214
00:15:14,012 --> 00:15:16,102
They sent out shogunate inspectors
throughout the lands...
215
00:15:16,622 --> 00:15:18,492
to further tighten control.
216
00:15:21,164 --> 00:15:25,424
On January 20, 1633
Konchiin Suden passed away.
217
00:15:25,724 --> 00:15:27,604
He was the brains behind
Ieyasu and Hidetada,
218
00:15:27,994 --> 00:15:30,134
and was known as
the premier in black robes.
219
00:15:30,683 --> 00:15:32,494
He was 65 years old.
220
00:15:32,974 --> 00:15:36,203
What about Archbishop Tenkai?
Isn't he long dead?
221
00:15:37,743 --> 00:15:39,493
Don't be insolent!
222
00:15:40,303 --> 00:15:42,243
I'm still alive!
223
00:15:43,003 --> 00:15:46,112
How old are you?
224
00:15:46,542 --> 00:15:48,742
I'm 98.
225
00:15:49,012 --> 00:15:49,962
98?
226
00:15:50,972 --> 00:15:59,132
The 3rd shogun owes his
present success to me!
227
00:16:01,441 --> 00:16:06,261
I want to be assured of Iemitsu's
future before I die!
228
00:16:06,901 --> 00:16:10,131
I can't die yet!
229
00:16:15,030 --> 00:16:16,891
We're getting deep into it, aren't we?
230
00:16:17,180 --> 00:16:17,840
I don't know.
231
00:16:21,330 --> 00:16:25,900
On August 27th of that same year,
Ogou's sister Lady Jokoin...
232
00:16:26,350 --> 00:16:29,719
passed away at the Edo estate
of Kyogoku Tadataka.
233
00:16:30,079 --> 00:16:32,489
Her Buddhist name was
Jokoinden-Shogeneishodaishi.
234
00:16:32,939 --> 00:16:38,409
She was 64 years old.
235
00:16:39,159 --> 00:16:41,249
"All living things must die.
Those who meet must part."
236
00:16:42,139 --> 00:16:43,409
A joruri ballad drama for geisha?
237
00:16:44,088 --> 00:16:44,538
Fool!
238
00:16:45,039 --> 00:16:46,698
All living things must die.
Those who meet must part.
239
00:16:47,038 --> 00:16:48,208
That's right.
240
00:16:50,068 --> 00:16:55,648
The three Azai sisters who
were known to be the flowers...
241
00:16:56,068 --> 00:17:00,437
of the warring era,
had lived out there lives fully.
242
00:17:03,027 --> 00:17:06,057
I proudly stated that I'd take
an army of 100,000 with me...
243
00:17:06,457 --> 00:17:08,827
when I visit Kyoto next year.
244
00:17:09,857 --> 00:17:12,107
Then Toshikatsu shook
his head and said,
245
00:17:12,607 --> 00:17:16,876
100,000 will not be enough.
Take 300,000 men with you.
246
00:17:17,286 --> 00:17:18,606
300,000 men?
247
00:17:19,596 --> 00:17:23,836
I replied in shock that that would
leave the Kanto open.
248
00:17:24,506 --> 00:17:26,596
What will you do if there
should be a revolt?
249
00:17:27,256 --> 00:17:29,275
Then Toshikatsu calmly replied...
250
00:17:29,775 --> 00:17:32,585
that was why he suggested 300,000.
251
00:17:33,225 --> 00:17:35,235
Be it fudai or tozama daimyo,
252
00:17:35,615 --> 00:17:37,895
if you take all the lords with you,
253
00:17:38,405 --> 00:17:41,465
then you should be safe
when you are away.
254
00:17:41,795 --> 00:17:42,834
He has a point.
255
00:17:43,395 --> 00:17:45,174
That's Doi Toshikatsu for you, all right.
256
00:17:45,874 --> 00:17:48,354
The visit to Kyoto isn't
a simple act of courtesy.
257
00:17:48,904 --> 00:17:51,634
It is also an event to display
the shogun's authority...
258
00:17:52,004 --> 00:17:55,764
and the shogunate's power
to the people of the country.
259
00:17:57,294 --> 00:18:04,593
I'm sure the Court is looking
forward to the gifts.
260
00:18:05,203 --> 00:18:06,113
I know.
261
00:18:07,516 --> 00:18:09,105
I'll pass out mountains
of gold and silver...
262
00:18:09,435 --> 00:18:10,685
to the slanderous nobles.
263
00:18:11,085 --> 00:18:12,605
I've more than enough anyway.
264
00:18:13,255 --> 00:18:15,865
I'm sure you know this
without my saying it,
265
00:18:16,315 --> 00:18:18,015
but money can sway a person's heart.
266
00:18:19,045 --> 00:18:22,664
Please use it wisely.
267
00:18:27,544 --> 00:18:28,794
Did you take your medicine?
268
00:18:29,074 --> 00:18:30,554
Thank you.
269
00:18:30,994 --> 00:18:34,484
Don't lie. I heard that
when I had smallpox,
270
00:18:34,974 --> 00:18:38,403
you swore to the gods that
you wouldn't take medicine.
271
00:18:42,133 --> 00:18:44,443
Let me speak on behalf of the gods.
272
00:18:44,813 --> 00:18:46,433
Take medicine when you are sick.
273
00:18:46,733 --> 00:18:47,633
I've already recovered.
274
00:18:47,883 --> 00:18:49,653
I'm speaking of the future.
275
00:18:51,333 --> 00:18:53,472
If you die,
what will happen to me?
276
00:18:54,122 --> 00:18:56,312
Ofuku, you are like a mother to me.
277
00:18:57,792 --> 00:18:59,722
Thank you for your gracious words.
278
00:19:00,362 --> 00:19:03,842
Who is more important,
the gods or me?
279
00:19:04,232 --> 00:19:06,461
You're both precious to me.
280
00:19:07,101 --> 00:19:09,741
If you don't take your medicine,
I will slay you.
281
00:19:18,571 --> 00:19:20,300
What's the matter?
282
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:24,720
I wonder how Tadanaga is doing.
283
00:19:27,990 --> 00:19:30,470
He must really hate me.
284
00:19:30,850 --> 00:19:32,810
Although we were born as brothers,
285
00:19:33,140 --> 00:19:35,850
I am the shogun
and he is in banishment.
286
00:19:39,019 --> 00:19:41,329
I do feel somewhat sorry for him,
287
00:19:41,719 --> 00:19:46,379
but he always stood up
against me from childhood.
288
00:19:47,699 --> 00:19:50,578
He would give me
condescending looks...
289
00:19:50,968 --> 00:19:52,728
when he was with Mother.
290
00:19:53,108 --> 00:19:55,788
When I was scolded,
he would snicker.
291
00:19:56,338 --> 00:20:00,158
His warped nature became
overbearing as time went on.
292
00:20:03,218 --> 00:20:05,947
He should have behaved humbly,
293
00:20:06,647 --> 00:20:09,677
but he got sulky and railed at me.
294
00:20:10,237 --> 00:20:14,257
If I hated him,
he said I should take his life.
295
00:20:21,726 --> 00:20:27,036
Ofuku, if you tell me to pardon him,
I'll consider it.
296
00:20:27,516 --> 00:20:32,885
You are in charge of
government administration.
297
00:20:34,225 --> 00:20:38,575
I would like to refrain
from unnecessary meddling.
298
00:20:38,935 --> 00:20:40,405
But you did so before.
299
00:20:40,835 --> 00:20:43,165
Maybe when you were young.
300
00:20:43,755 --> 00:20:47,404
Now you are the almighty ruler.
301
00:20:48,734 --> 00:20:51,584
If rumors should spread
that the shogunate...
302
00:20:52,004 --> 00:20:55,484
is run by a priest and a woman,
then you'll lose authority.
303
00:20:56,544 --> 00:20:57,824
A priest and a woman?
304
00:20:59,524 --> 00:21:00,994
Do you mean Tenkai and you?
305
00:21:01,693 --> 00:21:03,253
Who said that anyway?
306
00:21:03,643 --> 00:21:06,433
Okubo Hikozaemon.
307
00:21:08,773 --> 00:21:11,333
That wretched old man!
308
00:21:25,032 --> 00:21:29,192
Takasaki Castle
309
00:22:02,169 --> 00:22:03,509
Bring me more sake.
310
00:23:46,370 --> 00:23:50,859
On December 6, 1633,
Lord Tokugawa Tadanaga...
311
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:57,349
took his own life at Takasaki Castle
where he was banished.
312
00:23:58,409 --> 00:24:01,079
He was 28 years old.
313
00:24:14,368 --> 00:24:15,848
He killed himself?
314
00:24:17,098 --> 00:24:21,947
We offer our deepest condolences.
315
00:24:25,617 --> 00:24:27,297
That fool!
316
00:24:32,727 --> 00:24:33,836
Your Excellency!
317
00:24:37,346 --> 00:24:39,706
Until the very end...
318
00:24:40,236 --> 00:24:44,836
He must have
been mentally depressed.
319
00:24:46,176 --> 00:24:47,765
Didn't anyone notice?
320
00:24:48,625 --> 00:24:51,445
What was Shigenaga doing?
321
00:24:53,025 --> 00:24:55,845
Let us send a coroner immediately.
322
00:25:09,214 --> 00:25:13,694
The deep grief put Iemitsu to bed.
323
00:25:14,394 --> 00:25:20,463
The brothers' strife for shogun
had come to a tragic end.
324
00:25:28,343 --> 00:25:30,623
On New Years of 1634...
325
00:25:30,972 --> 00:25:33,612
Iemitsu received New Year's greetings,
326
00:25:34,112 --> 00:25:37,072
but did not drink a single drop
of sacred sake.
327
00:25:38,062 --> 00:25:43,352
Then on January 25, Iemitsu's
trusted vassal Inaba Masakatsu,
328
00:25:43,722 --> 00:25:46,062
died from over exhaustion.
329
00:25:46,642 --> 00:25:48,791
He started off as a child page,
330
00:25:49,231 --> 00:25:53,391
then became one of
the Elders at a young age.
331
00:25:53,841 --> 00:25:56,511
He was Lady Kasuga-no-Tsubone's son.
332
00:25:57,181 --> 00:25:59,941
He died at the age of 38.
333
00:26:35,448 --> 00:26:38,618
It is good to see you in good health,
Your Excellency.
334
00:26:38,868 --> 00:26:39,348
Come closer.
335
00:26:46,787 --> 00:26:49,567
I'll be going to Kyoto after eight years.
336
00:26:49,987 --> 00:26:50,687
Yes.
337
00:26:52,017 --> 00:26:54,447
I'll be staying there of a while
to get acquainted...
338
00:26:54,817 --> 00:26:56,147
with the Gosekke families.
339
00:26:57,367 --> 00:27:00,687
Do you have any message
for your father or brother?
340
00:27:02,666 --> 00:27:04,246
No, nothing in particular.
341
00:27:05,426 --> 00:27:06,706
Don't hold back.
342
00:27:09,596 --> 00:27:13,915
Tell them that I am leading
a happy life here.
343
00:27:18,002 --> 00:27:19,852
Are you happy?
344
00:27:21,172 --> 00:27:22,682
Yes, I'm happy.
345
00:27:23,092 --> 00:27:24,262
Don't lie.
346
00:27:26,381 --> 00:27:29,631
It's been 11 years since you
came to Edo to marry me.
347
00:27:30,781 --> 00:27:32,821
I, who should be your sole support,
348
00:27:33,181 --> 00:27:35,321
haven't given you any attention.
349
00:27:35,791 --> 00:27:37,431
You've turned 30 without ever
sleeping with me even once.
350
00:27:38,241 --> 00:27:40,700
You were my wife in name only.
351
00:27:42,390 --> 00:27:47,020
The late Ogosho and the former
Ladyship were very kind to me.
352
00:27:47,500 --> 00:27:52,820
They built a mansion for me
in the Middle Compound Wing.
353
00:27:54,709 --> 00:27:55,929
Are you satisfied with that?
354
00:27:58,419 --> 00:28:01,559
Didn't you think I was cold-hearted?
355
00:28:02,889 --> 00:28:06,609
I am solely to blame for that.
356
00:28:08,079 --> 00:28:09,828
It's not your fault.
357
00:28:13,678 --> 00:28:17,638
I resented the vanity of the nobles.
358
00:28:20,368 --> 00:28:23,418
As you know,
the Tokugawa offered...
359
00:28:23,908 --> 00:28:26,187
the shogun's daughter to the Court.
360
00:28:26,657 --> 00:28:29,887
But the Court was hesitant
to send a daughter...
361
00:28:30,287 --> 00:28:32,567
from the Gosekke family to Edo...
362
00:28:33,097 --> 00:28:35,047
and disapproved of your marriage to me.
363
00:28:35,657 --> 00:28:37,747
The nobles held the samurai in contempt.
364
00:28:38,197 --> 00:28:40,196
They thought evil mountain
and river spirits lived in Kanto,
365
00:28:40,616 --> 00:28:43,236
and that it was a most scandalous
and frightful place.
366
00:28:43,816 --> 00:28:45,576
- If I may humbly speak...
- Just listen.
367
00:28:46,846 --> 00:28:49,226
You had to unwillingly resign
yourself to your fate...
368
00:28:49,576 --> 00:28:51,286
and marry into the shogunate family.
369
00:28:51,756 --> 00:28:54,125
The 100 merry servants
that accompanied you...
370
00:28:54,535 --> 00:28:58,525
flaunted their Palace customs
as if to belittle us.
371
00:29:00,425 --> 00:29:01,785
Please forgive me for that.
372
00:29:03,125 --> 00:29:05,405
I was offended by it
from the very start.
373
00:29:06,715 --> 00:29:11,644
I vowed not to consummate
the marriage with a noble's daughter.
374
00:29:13,210 --> 00:29:16,459
I didn't want an heir
with noble blood.
375
00:29:18,959 --> 00:29:22,729
However, the situation
is different now.
376
00:29:23,529 --> 00:29:27,289
The Empress that reigns over
the nobles is my niece.
377
00:29:29,408 --> 00:29:32,758
The nobles who are controlled
by the shogunate...
378
00:29:33,178 --> 00:29:36,548
are hard up for money
and are waiting for me.
379
00:29:39,808 --> 00:29:41,008
Don't worry.
380
00:29:41,808 --> 00:29:44,647
I won't fight the Court anymore.
381
00:29:45,437 --> 00:29:47,627
I'll be very generous
with them on this visit.
382
00:29:48,137 --> 00:29:51,577
I'll take a lot of gifts
to the Takatsukasa family.
383
00:29:53,177 --> 00:29:55,037
Thank you, My Lord.
384
00:30:00,046 --> 00:30:01,166
Takako...
385
00:30:03,096 --> 00:30:07,176
Please forgive me
for everything until now.
386
00:30:08,216 --> 00:30:10,586
You weren't to blame at all.
387
00:30:12,645 --> 00:30:16,425
It was my youthful stupidity.
388
00:30:25,435 --> 00:30:32,784
I am overwhelmed with your
kind and gracious words.
389
00:30:44,432 --> 00:30:44,432
May 9
390
00:30:45,008 --> 00:30:46,888
Pay close attention.
391
00:30:47,178 --> 00:30:49,368
The man who has reported
to the castle...
392
00:30:49,618 --> 00:30:50,968
is my father, Tokugawa Yorifusa.
393
00:30:51,248 --> 00:30:56,007
The man behind him is his 3rd son,
which is me.
394
00:30:56,707 --> 00:30:58,687
In other words,
the future Mito Mistukuni!
395
00:30:59,067 --> 00:31:01,607
Look at how gallant
and intelligent he looks!
396
00:31:01,887 --> 00:31:05,777
"Genius displays itself
even in childhood."
397
00:31:06,177 --> 00:31:06,806
Stop letting your eyes wander!
398
00:31:15,606 --> 00:31:16,646
How old are you?
399
00:31:17,006 --> 00:31:18,406
Seven years old, My Lord.
400
00:31:19,766 --> 00:31:21,065
You look dignified.
401
00:31:21,605 --> 00:31:23,015
Thank you, My Lord.
402
00:31:24,645 --> 00:31:25,745
Do you like to study?
403
00:31:25,955 --> 00:31:26,365
Yes.
404
00:31:27,145 --> 00:31:28,295
Don't lie.
405
00:31:31,215 --> 00:31:32,745
He's an uncontrollable rascal.
406
00:31:32,995 --> 00:31:34,885
Yorifusa...
He must have taken after you.
407
00:31:35,255 --> 00:31:36,034
Good heavens.
408
00:31:37,462 --> 00:31:38,582
Chiyomatsu, I have a question for you.
409
00:31:38,822 --> 00:31:39,432
Yes.
410
00:31:40,032 --> 00:31:42,622
You have a brother seven years
older than you.
411
00:31:43,532 --> 00:31:47,292
Then why were you
chosen as the heir?
412
00:31:48,112 --> 00:31:49,222
I don't know.
413
00:31:50,361 --> 00:31:52,261
Then let me explain it to you.
414
00:31:52,931 --> 00:31:55,271
The first to be born among
the Owari, Kishu,
415
00:31:55,511 --> 00:31:58,241
and Mito families was
your older brother Yorishige.
416
00:31:58,661 --> 00:32:01,781
But Yorifusa felt badly
for Owari and Kishu,
417
00:32:02,051 --> 00:32:04,740
and didn't report his birth
to the shogunate.
418
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:09,280
Then Gorohachimaru
was born to Owari,
419
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:11,510
Nagatominaru was born to Kishu,
420
00:32:11,730 --> 00:32:14,060
and finally you were born.
421
00:32:14,650 --> 00:32:16,850
That put Yorifusa's mind at ease...
422
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:19,489
and made him report you as his heir.
423
00:32:19,950 --> 00:32:20,750
Do you understand?
424
00:32:21,279 --> 00:32:22,029
Yes.
425
00:32:23,339 --> 00:32:25,679
Now let me ask you...
426
00:32:25,939 --> 00:32:27,859
who benefitted the most from it?
427
00:32:29,409 --> 00:32:31,109
I did. My Lord.
428
00:32:32,169 --> 00:32:34,649
Who lost out the most?
429
00:32:37,549 --> 00:32:39,748
My older brother Yorishige.
430
00:32:40,418 --> 00:32:41,448
That's right.
431
00:32:42,028 --> 00:32:44,288
Because Yorishige
was born too early,
432
00:32:44,518 --> 00:32:46,428
he lost the heirship.
433
00:32:46,768 --> 00:32:47,967
Don't you feel sorry for him?
434
00:32:48,298 --> 00:32:49,187
I do.
435
00:32:50,797 --> 00:32:53,397
Then get along with him.
436
00:32:54,977 --> 00:32:57,937
Don't treat him with disrespect.
437
00:32:58,687 --> 00:33:00,297
Very well, I won't.
438
00:33:07,863 --> 00:33:13,393
This is the Bunshosei bronze statue
from Iemitsu.
439
00:33:13,593 --> 00:33:14,383
Bunshosei?
440
00:33:14,633 --> 00:33:16,163
Bunshosei is the god of education.
441
00:33:16,713 --> 00:33:19,002
I may have started
liking my studies...
442
00:33:19,282 --> 00:33:22,452
after I received this bronze statue.
443
00:33:22,682 --> 00:33:24,312
And this medicine case.
444
00:33:24,802 --> 00:33:26,082
I didn't receive a medicine case.
445
00:33:31,062 --> 00:33:35,871
On June 20, 1634, the 31 year old
Iemitsu departed Edo...
446
00:33:36,272 --> 00:33:39,911
to head to Kyoto with
his huge army of 307,000.
447
00:33:40,441 --> 00:33:46,381
He arrived at Nijo Castle on July 11.
448
00:33:47,140 --> 00:33:49,560
He visited the Palace on the 18th,
449
00:33:49,870 --> 00:33:54,570
to extend his congratulations
to Her Majesty, Empress Meisho.
450
00:34:34,767 --> 00:34:37,267
Then Iemitsu visited
the Sento Palace...
451
00:34:37,527 --> 00:34:43,087
to meet with Ex-Emperor Go-Mizu-no
and extend his congratulations.
452
00:34:50,226 --> 00:34:53,846
The Ex-Emperor was in
a very good mood.
453
00:34:54,566 --> 00:34:56,806
He should be.
454
00:34:57,716 --> 00:35:00,135
You raised the upkeep fees
for Sento Palace...
455
00:35:00,535 --> 00:35:06,055
from 6,000 koku to 10,000 koku.
456
00:35:06,545 --> 00:35:08,785
He was extremely happy
about the pardon...
457
00:35:09,195 --> 00:35:13,285
of Priest Takuwan and others
from the Daitoku-ji Temple.
458
00:35:13,965 --> 00:35:16,744
The shogunate family are
vassals to the Emperor.
459
00:35:17,244 --> 00:35:20,174
It is only natural that
we abide by his wishes.
460
00:35:20,954 --> 00:35:26,024
I heard you're giving silver
to the people of Kyoto.
461
00:35:26,494 --> 00:35:32,203
Thank you for your
many considerations.
462
00:35:34,243 --> 00:35:37,853
Lady Tofukumonin is the
5th daughter of Hidetada,
463
00:35:38,253 --> 00:35:41,203
and Iemitsu's younger sister.
464
00:35:42,855 --> 00:35:45,005
Are the princesses doing well?
465
00:35:45,475 --> 00:35:54,274
Yes, they are all doing fine.
466
00:35:54,754 --> 00:35:56,774
That is good to hear.
467
00:35:59,034 --> 00:36:03,164
Don't you have an heir yet?
468
00:36:04,153 --> 00:36:07,163
Like Father, I'm not good at it.
469
00:36:07,833 --> 00:36:12,123
I had a son last year,
but he died soon after birth.
470
00:36:13,263 --> 00:36:16,343
Work hard on it.
471
00:36:18,153 --> 00:36:22,052
Dai-Gongen had an active sex life.
472
00:36:22,712 --> 00:36:26,332
He had one child after another,
totaling 16!
473
00:36:26,592 --> 00:36:28,142
That's truly incredible!
474
00:36:32,022 --> 00:36:34,351
I can't say this out loud,
475
00:36:34,741 --> 00:36:39,651
but the Ex-Emperor runs
a close match to Dai-Gongen.
476
00:36:41,351 --> 00:36:44,281
After he abdicated the throne,
477
00:36:44,781 --> 00:36:50,600
he has had children
by many other women.
478
00:36:51,090 --> 00:36:54,550
His son, Imperial Prince Suganomiya,
by Lady Kyogoku,
479
00:36:54,830 --> 00:36:56,550
seems to be his favorite.
480
00:36:57,650 --> 00:37:00,520
The court nobles think
Imperial Prince Suganomiya...
481
00:37:00,850 --> 00:37:04,689
will be the next Emperor.
482
00:37:06,169 --> 00:37:08,529
I've heard about that.
483
00:37:11,379 --> 00:37:19,288
How I wish Lady Tofukumonin
would have a prince.
484
00:37:19,538 --> 00:37:20,768
Don't say that.
485
00:37:22,078 --> 00:37:24,188
Parents have their expectations...
486
00:37:24,558 --> 00:37:26,898
and children have
their own destinies in life.
487
00:37:27,728 --> 00:37:32,217
Things don't turn out the way
the parents want.
488
00:37:32,537 --> 00:37:36,507
So, you just have to leave it
to the flow of things.
489
00:37:59,996 --> 00:38:03,755
Iemitsu's visit to Kyoto
was a great success.
490
00:38:04,235 --> 00:38:06,485
During Ieyasu and Hidetada's reigns,
491
00:38:06,795 --> 00:38:09,965
there was always friction
between Court and shogunate.
492
00:38:10,325 --> 00:38:12,645
But Iemitsu incorporated
the co-existence and...
493
00:38:13,005 --> 00:38:16,904
co-prosperity principle
and heightened his reputation.
494
00:38:36,453 --> 00:38:39,413
On August 20,
Iemitsu returned to Edo...
495
00:38:39,743 --> 00:38:45,172
and generously granted his people
in Edo 5,000 pieces of sliver.
496
00:38:45,502 --> 00:38:48,602
The people sung
words of praise of him.
497
00:38:49,722 --> 00:38:52,112
The reconstruction of Tosho-sha Shrine
at Mt. Nikko?
498
00:38:52,362 --> 00:38:53,052
That's right.
499
00:38:53,722 --> 00:38:56,732
Grandfather's 20th year memorial
is in two years.
500
00:38:57,792 --> 00:39:01,891
How laudable of you.
501
00:39:02,201 --> 00:39:03,831
While Father was alive,
502
00:39:04,141 --> 00:39:05,981
I refrained from bringing it up.
503
00:39:06,381 --> 00:39:08,691
But the reconstruction of
Tosho-sha Shrine at Mt. Nikko,
504
00:39:08,971 --> 00:39:10,381
has been a long-cherished
desire of mine.
505
00:39:10,911 --> 00:39:16,540
How happy the Dai-Gongen will be!
506
00:39:19,780 --> 00:39:22,950
I want the country's best artisans
to work on it...
507
00:39:23,250 --> 00:39:26,070
so that it will become
the country's best sanctuary.
508
00:39:26,370 --> 00:39:28,159
The sky's the limit for the expenses.
509
00:39:28,469 --> 00:39:30,909
I'll collect donations
from the various daimyo.
510
00:39:30,909 --> 00:39:33,089
No, that won't be necessary.
511
00:39:34,149 --> 00:39:36,989
The expenses will be fully covered
by the shogunate...
512
00:39:37,369 --> 00:39:39,829
family so that it may be
our eternal pride.
513
00:39:54,166 --> 00:39:56,816
The world renown
Tosho-gu Shrine at Mt. Nikko...
514
00:39:57,126 --> 00:39:59,656
that eminently worships Ieyasu,
515
00:40:00,026 --> 00:40:04,166
underwent major reconstructions
by 3rd Shogun Iemitsu.
516
00:40:04,586 --> 00:40:08,736
It was completed in April of 1636,
a year and a half later.
517
00:40:09,205 --> 00:40:11,715
The total expenses incurred
were 568,000 ryo.
518
00:40:12,155 --> 00:40:14,145
The total number of men that
worked on this project...
519
00:40:14,505 --> 00:40:18,145
were approximately 4.5 million.
520
00:40:30,744 --> 00:40:33,194
In the large flow of history...
521
00:40:33,534 --> 00:40:36,194
as sad as it is to say goodbye here...
522
00:40:36,534 --> 00:40:41,403
we would like to close the curtains now.
523
00:40:42,833 --> 00:40:44,163
Stop right there!
524
00:40:44,593 --> 00:40:45,513
What is it?
525
00:40:46,003 --> 00:40:48,123
You can't end the show yet.
526
00:40:48,483 --> 00:40:49,573
But the story is over.
527
00:40:49,803 --> 00:40:50,403
No, it's not.
528
00:40:50,883 --> 00:40:51,932
Don't be foolish!
529
00:40:52,323 --> 00:40:54,692
The Tokugawa regime
lasts for 260 years!
530
00:40:55,032 --> 00:40:57,672
We should at least find out
the results of shogun heir race.
531
00:40:57,922 --> 00:40:58,562
Shogun heir race?
532
00:40:58,992 --> 00:41:00,602
I'm sure the audience
also wants to know...
533
00:41:00,832 --> 00:41:03,312
who became the 4th shogun.
534
00:41:03,662 --> 00:41:04,812
We don't have time.
535
00:41:06,012 --> 00:41:07,391
If I may humbly speak...
536
00:41:07,901 --> 00:41:10,791
The producer approved
a 15-minute extension.
537
00:41:11,401 --> 00:41:12,161
15 minutes!
538
00:41:12,501 --> 00:41:13,981
Let's hurry on it!
539
00:41:19,319 --> 00:41:23,519
On March 11, 1635,
Lord Soh Yoshinari of Tsushima,
540
00:41:23,789 --> 00:41:25,909
was found guilty of altering
national literature.
541
00:41:26,749 --> 00:41:28,339
In a letter of response
to the ruler of Korea,
542
00:41:28,679 --> 00:41:31,538
he wrote "ruler of Japan"
instead of Shogun.
543
00:41:32,238 --> 00:41:34,828
He shouldn't have used
the title "ruler of Japan,"
544
00:41:35,208 --> 00:41:37,278
when there is the Emperor.
545
00:41:37,588 --> 00:41:39,648
Therefore, the current
national literature has it...
546
00:41:39,948 --> 00:41:41,878
recorded as the
Great General of Japan.
547
00:41:42,268 --> 00:41:43,958
Under the pressure of necessity?
548
00:41:44,998 --> 00:41:46,797
On June 21 of that same year,
549
00:41:47,107 --> 00:41:49,447
Iemitsu made major reforms
to the Samurai Laws,
550
00:41:49,837 --> 00:41:52,267
and established the
alternate year residence system.
551
00:41:52,647 --> 00:41:54,177
The alternate year residence system.
552
00:41:54,547 --> 00:41:56,127
In the winter of that same year,
553
00:41:56,437 --> 00:41:57,947
the shoguante established
Dejima in Nagasaki,
554
00:41:58,287 --> 00:41:59,087
and forced the Hollanders
to move there.
555
00:41:59,347 --> 00:42:01,906
It was one of the steps
in the isolation policy.
556
00:42:02,376 --> 00:42:04,076
The shogunate intensified
their oppression...
557
00:42:04,406 --> 00:42:05,746
on the Christians and
monopolized foreign trade.
558
00:42:06,196 --> 00:42:07,536
On October 29 of that same year,
559
00:42:07,806 --> 00:42:12,466
Iemitsu's trusted vassals
Matsudaira Nobutsuna,
560
00:42:12,736 --> 00:42:16,015
Hotta Masamori, and Abe Tadaaki
were promoted to Elders.
561
00:42:16,755 --> 00:42:18,145
The young blood are employed
in the Council.
562
00:42:18,585 --> 00:42:21,815
Hotta Masamori is a relative
of Lady Kasuga-no-Tsubone.
563
00:42:27,495 --> 00:42:32,294
On May 1 1636, Date Masamune
has an audience with Iemitsu,
564
00:42:32,604 --> 00:42:34,574
despite his failing health.
565
00:42:36,394 --> 00:42:40,444
I am proud to have served
the three shoguns...
566
00:42:40,734 --> 00:42:48,893
Ieyasu, Hidetada,
and Iemitsu in my lifetime.
567
00:42:50,343 --> 00:42:51,783
How is your health?
568
00:42:53,203 --> 00:42:55,103
Please don't worry.
569
00:42:55,603 --> 00:42:57,473
On my way over from Sendai,
570
00:42:57,862 --> 00:43:03,292
I stopped at Mt. Nikko
to pay my humble respects.
571
00:43:03,802 --> 00:43:04,792
I see.
572
00:43:05,472 --> 00:43:06,832
What did you think of
the Yomei-mon Gate?
573
00:43:07,302 --> 00:43:10,092
I was completely surprised.
574
00:43:10,542 --> 00:43:19,471
The tiger and dragon
carvings overwhelmed me.
575
00:43:25,851 --> 00:43:30,070
Dai-Gongen was born in
the year of the tiger,
576
00:43:30,460 --> 00:43:32,630
and I was born in
the year of the dragon.
577
00:43:33,020 --> 00:43:34,240
Oh, is that right?
578
00:43:34,630 --> 00:43:40,090
What year was
Shogun Hidetada born in?
579
00:43:40,460 --> 00:43:41,430
Rabbit.
580
00:43:42,180 --> 00:43:46,469
I didn't see any carvings of a rabbit.
581
00:43:46,839 --> 00:43:49,259
I saw a cat sleeping.
582
00:43:49,749 --> 00:43:52,269
Rabbits aren't a suitable
symbol of worship for samurai.
583
00:43:53,119 --> 00:43:55,359
Hidetada will be upset to hear that.
584
00:43:55,849 --> 00:43:58,278
Father is lying at Zojo-ji Temple.
585
00:44:02,299 --> 00:44:03,849
Get a doctor!
586
00:44:05,139 --> 00:44:08,168
Don't worry about it.
587
00:44:08,918 --> 00:44:16,278
I know my own mortality.
588
00:44:17,008 --> 00:44:21,347
Lord Masamune, live for a long time.
589
00:44:24,497 --> 00:44:27,087
Thank you very much.
590
00:44:28,707 --> 00:44:39,986
I'll pray for the Tokugawa family
from the other world.
591
00:44:43,556 --> 00:44:50,595
On May 24, 1636 Masumune,
the lord of Mutsu Sendai, passed away in Edo.
592
00:44:50,956 --> 00:44:53,076
That year he was 70 years old.
593
00:44:57,588 --> 00:45:03,098
On July 6, Iemitsu told Mito's
Yorifusa's child Chiomatsu...
594
00:45:03,358 --> 00:45:06,867
to come to Edo Castle and
gave him the name Mitsukuni.
595
00:45:07,117 --> 00:45:08,507
Congratulations!
596
00:45:08,807 --> 00:45:12,317
This about me!
Listen carefully!
597
00:45:12,597 --> 00:45:14,127
And the 4th Shogun?
598
00:45:15,338 --> 00:45:17,348
The next year on March 5,
599
00:45:17,898 --> 00:45:23,857
Iemitsu's concubine Ofuri gave birth
to Princess Chiyo.
600
00:45:24,147 --> 00:45:25,287
Ah, it was a princess?
601
00:45:31,557 --> 00:45:32,777
I'm sorry.
602
00:45:33,786 --> 00:45:35,446
You don't need to apologize.
603
00:45:35,836 --> 00:45:38,186
Even if it's a girl,
it's my child.
604
00:45:42,306 --> 00:45:46,236
She might become the 4th shogun.
605
00:45:48,036 --> 00:45:53,055
Is it bad for an intelligent girl
to become Shogun?
606
00:46:00,575 --> 00:46:05,304
Princess Chiyo later married
Owari heir Gorohachimaru,
607
00:46:05,594 --> 00:46:09,934
who later became Tokugawa Mitsutomo.
608
00:46:12,661 --> 00:46:14,801
In October of that same year,
609
00:46:15,071 --> 00:46:17,801
the Shimabara uprising occurred
in Amakusa Nagasaki.
610
00:46:17,801 --> 00:46:19,840
Wasn't that riots by Christians?
611
00:46:20,100 --> 00:46:25,110
That's right, oppressed farmers
also participated.
612
00:46:25,110 --> 00:46:26,840
How about the 4th Shogun...?
613
00:46:26,840 --> 00:46:27,840
Quiet!
614
00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:31,349
Itakura Shigemasa was
commander-in-chief for...
615
00:46:31,629 --> 00:46:37,439
putting the riots down, but was killed
so Matsudaira Nobutsuna...
616
00:46:37,729 --> 00:46:41,159
finally quelled the riots on
February 15, 1638 at Hara Castle.
617
00:46:41,599 --> 00:46:42,879
Yes indeed, Chieizu
(Nobutsuna nickname)...
618
00:46:43,159 --> 00:46:46,888
But in November 1638, the shogunate
set up new honorary positions...
619
00:46:47,158 --> 00:46:49,838
and appointed Doi Toshikatsu and
Sakai Tadakatsu to these posts.
620
00:46:50,148 --> 00:46:54,468
These were just honorary positions
to put these elders on the shelf.
621
00:46:54,688 --> 00:46:58,448
I understand, I understand...
622
00:46:59,568 --> 00:47:01,267
Here, look...
623
00:47:04,497 --> 00:47:09,167
In March 1639, the daughter
of Arizumi Kyou, Oman,
624
00:47:09,427 --> 00:47:12,157
was allowed to see Shogun Iemitsu.
625
00:47:13,327 --> 00:47:14,466
Raise you face.
626
00:47:19,176 --> 00:47:25,166
Thank you for meeting me.
627
00:47:27,146 --> 00:47:30,065
I am the daughter of Rokujo Arizumi.
628
00:47:32,075 --> 00:47:35,155
She became a nun at Ise Kenkoin...
629
00:47:35,495 --> 00:47:41,185
and participated
in the blessing ceremony.
630
00:47:45,775 --> 00:47:46,924
Your Excellency...
631
00:47:47,444 --> 00:47:48,564
Your Excellency!
632
00:47:50,484 --> 00:47:51,714
Ofuku!
Ofuku!
633
00:47:52,174 --> 00:47:52,814
Yes?
634
00:47:57,054 --> 00:47:58,474
Come with me.
635
00:48:01,903 --> 00:48:03,663
I want that girl by my side.
636
00:48:04,233 --> 00:48:05,383
That girl?
637
00:48:05,663 --> 00:48:07,133
The daughter of the Rokujo family.
638
00:48:08,303 --> 00:48:10,033
What did you say?
639
00:48:10,403 --> 00:48:13,552
I really think she's incredibly beautiful.
640
00:48:14,512 --> 00:48:17,422
She's a nun who is devoted to Buddha.
641
00:48:17,722 --> 00:48:19,482
She's too beautiful to be in a temple.
642
00:48:19,832 --> 00:48:21,182
Please keep her from going back.
643
00:48:21,422 --> 00:48:23,912
- No way...
- Can't you listen to me?
644
00:48:24,302 --> 00:48:29,681
Despite your request, you cannot
have a nun as a concubine.
645
00:48:30,989 --> 00:48:36,329
We can tell her family we'll give
100 ryo each month as compensation.
646
00:48:36,649 --> 00:48:43,048
She is denying her womanhood,
so why do you want her?
647
00:48:43,358 --> 00:48:44,378
I don't know.
648
00:48:44,638 --> 00:48:47,788
I don't understand,
but there's no other girl...
649
00:48:48,038 --> 00:48:49,818
who makes my heart beat like this.
650
00:48:50,188 --> 00:48:55,758
But, it will be difficult.
651
00:49:05,477 --> 00:49:08,147
Oman became Iemitsu's concubine...
652
00:49:08,427 --> 00:49:13,936
and given a house
and became Ojorou.
653
00:49:14,336 --> 00:49:18,146
But, she was not able to conceive.
654
00:49:21,263 --> 00:49:24,162
Iemitsu had other concubines.
655
00:49:24,742 --> 00:49:30,342
Iemitsu's wife Takako brought
a beautiful girl from Kyoto.
656
00:49:30,622 --> 00:49:32,522
Her name was Onatsu.
657
00:49:34,192 --> 00:49:35,862
It's okay to be modest,
658
00:49:36,312 --> 00:49:38,761
but you're the Shogun's younger brother.
659
00:49:39,202 --> 00:49:40,241
Summer 1640
660
00:49:40,631 --> 00:49:42,301
You're already a 200,000 koku daimyo.
661
00:49:42,631 --> 00:49:44,681
You don't need to be so reserved.
662
00:49:46,111 --> 00:49:47,121
Thank you very much.
663
00:49:47,421 --> 00:49:49,321
You can be more forthright.
664
00:49:50,351 --> 00:49:51,351
I understood, My Lord.
665
00:49:51,710 --> 00:49:53,990
You don't need to be so polite.
666
00:49:54,720 --> 00:49:55,490
Reporting.
667
00:49:56,080 --> 00:49:56,840
What is it?
668
00:49:57,220 --> 00:49:59,110
Kasuga-no-Tsubone is here.
669
00:49:59,740 --> 00:50:00,520
Let her in.
670
00:50:05,170 --> 00:50:07,150
How are you doing, My Lord.
671
00:50:07,479 --> 00:50:08,369
Would you like to drink, too?
672
00:50:08,639 --> 00:50:10,769
Please clear the room, My Lord.
673
00:50:11,339 --> 00:50:12,789
Don't say such a thing,
674
00:50:13,079 --> 00:50:14,659
we're in the middle of drinking sake.
675
00:50:19,959 --> 00:50:24,028
It's nothing important,
but the other day...
676
00:50:24,388 --> 00:50:29,238
I saw a beautiful,
wholesome girl at Senso Temple.
677
00:50:29,528 --> 00:50:30,658
Who is she?
678
00:50:31,018 --> 00:50:32,858
The adopted daughter
of Sakuzaemon...
679
00:50:33,158 --> 00:50:35,727
a Kanda Kamakura
used clothing merchant.
680
00:50:36,118 --> 00:50:37,168
Used clothing?
681
00:50:37,538 --> 00:50:39,447
Yes, that's right.
682
00:50:39,807 --> 00:50:41,327
She's gracefully flowing
like a willow tree,
683
00:50:41,687 --> 00:50:44,247
yet with lots of inner strength.
684
00:50:44,627 --> 00:50:49,707
She has a strong core and
yet refreshing like peony leaves.
685
00:50:50,087 --> 00:50:53,436
I'm sure you'll like her.
686
00:50:53,776 --> 00:50:56,826
I'm sure she can bear strong babies.
687
00:50:57,506 --> 00:50:59,706
Okay, I understand.
I'll allow her to see me.
688
00:51:00,426 --> 00:51:02,996
Thank you so much, My Lord.
689
00:51:03,406 --> 00:51:06,925
I'll check to see if you are right.
690
00:51:11,295 --> 00:51:17,455
Oran
691
00:51:20,474 --> 00:51:22,544
I hear you're the adopted daughter
of a used clothing merchant.
692
00:51:22,964 --> 00:51:23,764
Yes.
693
00:51:24,684 --> 00:51:26,474
What is your real father's name.
694
00:51:31,884 --> 00:51:35,684
Ishiki Shozaemon.
He was working for a hatamoto...
695
00:51:36,034 --> 00:51:44,243
and made a mistake and
was sentenced to die.
696
00:51:47,593 --> 00:51:49,593
So your real father is a criminal?
697
00:51:50,962 --> 00:51:54,972
He did it in order
to save his wife and child.
698
00:52:00,092 --> 00:52:01,842
You are very honest, aren't you?
699
00:52:08,172 --> 00:52:10,292
Your name is Oran, isn't it?
700
00:52:11,912 --> 00:52:12,802
Yes.
701
00:52:14,242 --> 00:52:16,671
Ran is related to war.
702
00:52:18,141 --> 00:52:19,821
Let's change your name to Oraku.
703
00:52:20,991 --> 00:52:22,441
Oraku
704
00:52:22,741 --> 00:52:23,361
Oraku?
705
00:52:24,661 --> 00:52:26,871
Raku means enjoyment.
706
00:52:30,420 --> 00:52:32,900
Thank you very much, My Lord.
707
00:52:38,220 --> 00:52:42,650
August 3, 1641
708
00:52:42,940 --> 00:52:44,939
As Kasuga-no-Tsubone predicted,
709
00:52:45,279 --> 00:52:51,789
on August 3 Oraku gave birth
to a boy in the Inner Compound.
710
00:53:21,034 --> 00:53:22,714
Congratulations!
711
00:53:23,294 --> 00:53:24,694
Congratulations!
712
00:53:25,854 --> 00:53:27,534
You're out of breath.
713
00:53:36,043 --> 00:53:39,403
Edo Castle was full of joy.
714
00:53:39,953 --> 00:53:44,462
At this time Iemitsu was 38 years old.
715
00:53:47,062 --> 00:53:50,092
It's been a long wait, congratulations!
716
00:53:52,812 --> 00:53:55,402
It's been a long wait, congratulations!
717
00:54:19,790 --> 00:54:21,480
Are you happy?
718
00:54:22,020 --> 00:54:23,370
Yes, I'm happy.
719
00:54:24,680 --> 00:54:26,140
This is your younger brother.
720
00:54:26,470 --> 00:54:27,089
Yes.
721
00:54:31,479 --> 00:54:35,689
The new born baby
was named Takechiyo.
722
00:54:36,409 --> 00:54:41,459
That's right, he later
became 4th Shogun Ietsuna.
723
00:54:44,318 --> 00:54:45,848
Good job Oraku!
724
00:54:46,448 --> 00:54:48,858
You are the mother
of the 4th Shogun.
725
00:54:49,898 --> 00:54:51,538
Thank you so much, My Lord.
726
00:54:52,548 --> 00:54:54,428
Daughter of a used clothing merchant!
727
00:54:58,477 --> 00:55:03,297
Takechiyo
728
00:55:09,457 --> 00:55:11,016
We are relieved!
729
00:55:11,346 --> 00:55:14,486
- That was auspicious.
- We were really worried.
730
00:55:15,666 --> 00:55:19,176
Where did the lord go?
731
00:55:19,707 --> 00:55:20,456
I'm here.
732
00:55:23,326 --> 00:55:26,295
- What is this?
- Why are you wearing this outfit?
733
00:55:26,695 --> 00:55:27,915
- We're going now.
- Where?
734
00:55:29,135 --> 00:55:31,085
Of course we're going
to roam around Japan.
735
00:55:31,815 --> 00:55:35,375
Suke-san and Kaku-san
will come with me.
736
00:55:36,055 --> 00:55:37,945
Where's my authority badge?
737
00:55:38,555 --> 00:55:39,594
Here it is.
738
00:55:39,924 --> 00:55:41,874
- You cannot go!
- Oh, you scared me.
739
00:55:42,624 --> 00:55:46,054
Lord Mitsukuni
didn't roam around Japan!
740
00:55:47,504 --> 00:55:49,064
Here is the record.
741
00:55:49,834 --> 00:55:52,064
The travel log of Mito Komon.
742
00:55:52,324 --> 00:55:53,074
That a lie!
743
00:55:54,553 --> 00:55:59,613
It's not my intention
to fabricate history.
744
00:55:59,903 --> 00:56:02,493
Look at this...
745
00:56:03,463 --> 00:56:07,173
Didn't you say that there
shouldn't be inaccuracies...
746
00:56:07,443 --> 00:56:12,842
in describing history.
747
00:56:14,402 --> 00:56:16,022
I regret...
748
00:56:16,442 --> 00:56:17,582
Regret?
749
00:56:19,342 --> 00:56:23,351
Last night, Dai-Gongen
showed up in my dream.
750
00:56:23,881 --> 00:56:26,552
It's inexcusable for
the Tokugawa bloodline...
751
00:56:26,821 --> 00:56:28,751
to have fought on
the side of Ishida Mitsunari.
752
00:56:29,201 --> 00:56:32,711
It's unforgiveable to criticize
Hidetada and Iemitsu.
753
00:56:33,371 --> 00:56:36,111
Burn everything that
was written about this.
754
00:56:36,501 --> 00:56:40,480
Otherwise I will revoke
the patrimony of the Tokugawa.
755
00:56:42,040 --> 00:56:44,380
We cannot argue with Dai-Gongen.
756
00:56:45,540 --> 00:56:49,680
Let's burn these and
then rewrite the record.
757
00:56:54,009 --> 00:57:03,489
It's time to close
Aoi Tokugawa Sandai.
758
00:57:07,528 --> 00:57:10,458
Do you have any complaints?
759
00:57:14,628 --> 00:57:17,298
The End
760
00:57:21,008 --> 00:57:26,487
The End
56828
