There are a few tiny technical blips in the video, but after three days of overtaxing my tiny laptop with exports and re-exports, I decided this is as close to perfect as we're gonna get. Hope you guys enjoy the video, and thanks for watching!
@@springfield6097 Welcome to the channel! I’m not sure there’s a whole lot of interesting stuff to say about me personally, but I appreciate your interest 😊
Your use of drawings and maps from old sources is first-rate, your narrative expertly done. To anyone who wants to read Heike Monogatari (in any of its translations, or in the original), I strongly recommend watching this video a number of times.
to@@KhunGongPha: there are a great many illustrated versions of the Heike, and stories from that era. All the ones I've seen are in Japanese bookstores and libraries; but many good American university libraries have related material. You should ask Buyuuden (who made this video) what sources were used.
As a Japanese and a history fan, this video was the most impressive thing I have EVER watched on youtube. I never expected a youtube video explaining japanese history this deep and effective. not only the knowledge but use of sources and capacity of summurising and retelling. Just amazing. Thank you very much I really enjoyed and appreciate it.
@@BuyuudenJapaneseHistory If you open up some form of monthly subscription, people would happily chip in small amounts to show respect for the amount of work you do in collating the information from all these sources, scripting it out coherently, recording it and getting these videos out. I am greatly appreciative of your work and personally believe you deserve some reimbursement for this light yet academic material Thank you again.
@@AdamOwenBrowning I appreciate that a lot. My reservation about setting up any subscription-type thing is that, between juggling my job and UA-cam, I'm not sure I have time to offer any extra perks to supporters, which makes me feel a bit guilty. However, it's reassuring to know that the sentiment is out there! I will continue to consider it going forward.
If I had but a quarter of this man’s narrative skill, I could write a comment worthy of this stunning work. But I don’t. So I can’t. All I can do is applaud and say “Bravo!”
This miiiight be the most underrated history channel on UA-cam. Your stuff is great. Very high-quality writing, cozy narration, and excellent image selection. Very well done. You quickly became my "put on one I've seen before, as i fall asleep or do something" channel, if you know what i mean. Keep this up, and you'll be a youtube staple of this particular niche in no time.
Once again, thank you for putting all of this effort into these videos. They really draw you into the past, with the way you follow these individual people, the different legends and bits about how the general population felt about what was happening. I had a great time following this story along.
Thank you so much for this masterpiece! I've been looking for a documentary about the Genpei War for so long, everything from soundtracks to maps and photos and voice narrator is on point 1h30min past so fast :D
Great video, the rise and fall of the Taira (Heike) is my favorite part of Japanese history because the characters involved are so epic. Thank you very much for the video, it is very pleasant to see people striving to transmit and pass this story to the world. I felt your love for this content when you said you planned to tell this story from the very beginning of your channel. This video added to the recent anime Heike Monogatari made me very happy. Maybe you think I'm an asshole, but I have a small observation: Emperor Go-Shirakawa's death should be approached with more drama (something kind of sad, because with him went the long but passionate Heian period). Once again, great video, I'm so glad I saw it. Finally, something that unites me a lot in this story is the fact that I am descended from Kumagai Naozane, the murderer of Atsumori; and even though I am his descendant, I find Atsumori's death immensely sad.
I was actually watching the recent anime while I made this video! It was great. I hope it makes its way to a western audience too. I agree with you about how great the story of this conflict is... It's just so deep, epic, and complex. I feel like I only scratched the surface in this video. And I don't think you're an asshole at all! Haha. I think everyone has parts of the story that they personally find more or less compelling and dramatic. Most of my sources covered Goshirakawa's death quite quickly, so I did too. However, I absolutely agree with you that it marked the end of an era. That's super cool that you're descended from Naozane... and amazing that you know that! Based on the story, it seems that Naozane really didn't want to kill Atsumori, but the circumstances left him with no choice. A very sad, but very moving moment, for sure.
Amazing job describing the Heian period of Japanese history. I feel so sad for many of the people in this story, but mostly for children, who deserved a better world than they lived in, during the time.
I do appreciate the time and tremendous efforts you poured into for making this video available as usual. Apart from the academic history, I like the Genpei war and poor Yoshitsune's story as a sort of novel, so I enjoyed this video very much, recalling what I read repeatedly during my childhood. Thanks again.
It’s an incredible story, and it was a pleasure to take a shot at telling it. I’m happy to have been able to bring back some good childhood memories for you! Thanks for watching!
Just when I was starved out on Lore, the Kami brought me to your gates. Awesome and well appreciated! Nippon has such a contrasting history and culture...love it :D
The quality of this video is absurd. It deserves way more views, the whole channel does. I would have liked a little excerpt on how the Genpei War heroes influenced art and culture in Japan. In particular in kabuki and nô theatre but I'm really splitting hair here ^^ Thanks for the upload !
As soon as I saw the run time of this video I was excited! This was excellent, and I learnt so much about the history and legends of The Genpei war and late Heian/early Kamakura period. It's interesting that I already knew about the Battle of Dan-no-ura because of the Heikegani being mentioned in Carl Sagan's Cosmos documentary series, so it felt a bit like coming full circle to learn the full story. Can't wait for the next video!
@@BuyuudenJapaneseHistory It is cool isn't it?! It was episode 2 I believe, but yeah for whatever reason that's always stuck with me, again fantastic work on this video!
What a story! Watched it like a movie. Breathtaking narration, fantastic legends, especially the last one. Great, great video, sir. Keep up the good work!
'It was as if to say, "Well, guess you won't be needing THIS anymore." ' I love the way you describe historical events in such a funny, relatable way. Wish you'd of been my history teacher.
Love the highlighted people in old paintings/documents and the present day over-lays of coastal and geographic points, not to mention the standardised 'photo' of the main people. Very enjoyable!
Simply one of the best videos on UA-cam. Incredibly dense in information - you will almost certainly have to rewind at points - and with incredible visuals, this is 100% worth 90 minutes of your time.
Subscribed!! Thank you for this superb summary of Japan's own, real-life 'Game of Thrones'. Entertaining, poignant, humorous in the right places, excellently balanced and presented. Enthused to see what else your channel offers.
Thanks for taking the time to make these videos, I've been binging on them for the past week! So informative and detailed, I can't imagine how much effort you must've put into it. Also, the intro SLAPS!
Watching thing for the umpteenth time. You tell a great story! Seriously, this video is very skillful storytelling. It's clear, engrossing, and informative. I know you're proud of this video, and you should be. I'm a 60 year old from Eastern North America, and I am very smug, thanks to you. I can be ever so knowoedgable about what my anime loving juniors are talking about. Lol. And I'm one of those old guys who likes to surprise young people wiyh my eccentricity. Lol. You and Linfamy have given me the tools to do that lol
I'm so glad that you've found it so enjoyable and useful! It makes all the effort worth it. The next one should be of similar length, so if I can survive the editing process I think you'll enjoy it a lot!
Thank you, for all your hard efforts in making these videos teaching us from the actual textbooks from Japan! I've watched your videos multiple times learning the different time periods! I've got you on alert status so I can keep up, but I'm really happy to have found your channel, it is an immense help!
Appreciate your work. I loved the attention you gave to the little side bits of info and legends and myths around these events. I first became aware of this war after reading the historical fiction, Shike, by Robert Shea, as a teenager. After watching this documentary, I realize how many finer historical details he worked into his novels.
You are SO AMAZING as you've made the BEST Japanese history channel I've ever found on YT! - From one Japanese who intensely studied J. history in Japan with Gratitude.
Translating Japanese school's history textbooks is ingenious. This channel is going places, your video is one of the first ones that pop up when searching Ancient Japanese Wars
Great video! It is quite topical how the current year's taiga drama 'The 13 Lords of the Shogun' resolves around the life of Yoritomo. The portrayal of the events of the Genpei War is done particularly well. It's definitely worth checking out for those who want to immerse themselves in that time period.
Incredible video! Can't wait to get to later periods aka Mongol Invasion, Kenmu Restoration, Nanbokucho and Sengoku Jidai P.S you may later collab with The Shogunate, Shogo, Limfamy and others
Thank you sir! I'm also excited to get to those periods, especially the middle two you listed! The Ashikaga Takauji era needs more love on UA-cam! And I would be honored to have the chance to collab with any of those people.
Very good video! I was originally gonna play Shogun 2 Rise of The Samurai but don't know the history behind Genpei war and I was confused on which factions I'm gonna choose to play, looks like I'll be playing as the Fujiwara. Also, man your video is very good! I was never got bored from watching this! By the time I pause the video it's already been 30 minutes! lol
The best Japanese medieval history video. It is long as heck but I managed to watched it through as the topic is one of the most interesting and important part of Japanese history and your narration made everything clear and easy to consume. As an avid Japanese history afficionado I'll refer to this video whenever I need memory refreshment
Your video is one of the most exellent examples of history tales. I read the history of Japan but I never understood the subtleties of the Genpei War until now.
Thank you for creating this video. I remember doing some reading on the Genpei War a few years ago. This is a refreshing watch to jolt back whatever nuggets i may have on said topic
"The bell of gion monestary in india echos with the warning of the impermanence of all things. The blossoms of the sala trees teaches us through there hues that what flourishes must fade, HOWEVER, we are an exception"
Thank you as always for watching sir! I’m glad you enjoyed the art - finding it is both the most time-consuming and most rewarding part of the process for me.
An enjoyable and informative summary! While the entirety of the video was good, I especially enjoyed the nuanced discussion of the falling-out between Yoshitsune and Yoritomo, given how so many modern media portrayals just give us the legend of the heroic young samurai and his conniving, ambitious, politician half-brother.
Yeah, Yoritomo’s choice to take out Yoshitsune was cold-blooded but he definitely had some solid reasons for it. These things are rarely black and white!
Bravo!!!! Wonderful piece of work! Thank you so much for your extensive efforts in creating this and other videos on your channel! Thoroughly researched and beautifully told.
This is fire, my dude! Keep it up. Except for my personal inability to follow the names of samurai and clans efficiently... This episode was highly enjoyable, informative and had me engaged 100%. Knocked it out of the park my man!
few weeks ago i wanted to know more about yoshitsune and i came across this video. instead of watching it i decided to watch the entire series to get the full context. it was so worth it. I'll definitely stick around for more
I possess a (sometimes literally) “consuming” love for history, however I know practically almost nothing about the history of Japan prior to the 20th Century. But, that is about to change. Your method of approach and presentation of this history makes it immediately interesting and (not trying to sound too much like a Fan Boy, honest) captivating. Once I am able to remember who is what guy with the Japanese name, from the other guy with another Japanese name, that I can’t remember from the other guy with another Japanese name, which my brain cannot compute any of them……I am confident I will learn a lot!!! Thank you, sir! Sincerely, Robert Hendrix - Lexington, SC
Beautifully done. These videos and your channel amazingly well done, I am truly looking forward to your next videos! Especially Kama Kura and Sengoku eras!
I found my way over here through your collab with the Shogunate, and I've been burning through your content since. I've always been fascinated with Japanese history (my first strategy game was Nobunaga's Ambition on the NES) and I've never seen it told so well.
I'm glad to hear you're enjoying the content! I've gotta get around to playing one of the Nobunaga's Ambitions one of these days, it seems like a really cool series.
こんにちはアダムこのは動画はすごかったThis video is amazing the intro was great and the way you told it was immersive and easy to understand even thought is was long and a lot happened I can’t for more videos and I wanted say I like that you put the 漢字 I actually learned the word 飢饉 from this お疲れ様ですアダムさんもっともっとすごい動画を楽しみしていますちなみアダムさんの声はかっこいくてナレーターみたいと思います
今回もご視聴いただきありがとうございました！I'm glad you enjoyed it! I think you will find 飢饉 to be a thoroughly useless word in everyday life, but it's always good to have in your back pocket just in case! 😁
You are helping me so much with my Japanese History to 1800 class. I am a visual person so this really helps to watch alongside my course reading material, bringing to life the characters I am studying about. You are a blessing! Thank you for your time and great effort to craft these beautiful episodes. 最高です！
I am also a very visual learner when it comes to history (partially why I started this channel) so I understand the feeling! I’m glad I can be of service!
This is really great, just about to read Tale of the Heike and this was perfect prep. I love all the scans of the art, really amazingly detailed work thank you so much for making this !
The real beauty is the heavenly retribution that struck Yoritomo and his descendants afterwards. He died falling off a horse, his offspring murdered one another and the true rulers were his in laws from the Hojo family; which itself was a branch of the Taira clan. A tale worth of Shakespeare or Monty Python (dependent on preference)!
Historian here, close to a dcotorate. Usually I'm extremely wary of history videos in my recommendations, but the length drew me in and your scholarly introduction kept me here. I haven't checked the sources as I cannot speak japanese, I also don't know a lot about medieval Japan. Having said that, from what i can tell after having watched 50 minutes, you've done OUTSTANDING work. This might just be the single best history video I've ever had the pleasure of watching on youtube, thanks for all the hard work. I'll be sure to subscribe and check out more videos in the fututure, keep it up.
There are a few tiny technical blips in the video, but after three days of overtaxing my tiny laptop with exports and re-exports, I decided this is as close to perfect as we're gonna get. Hope you guys enjoy the video, and thanks for watching!

@@BuyuudenJapaneseHistory thank you so much for the fast reply!
Bravo my man. So extremely well done. I've lived in Japan for 29 years and I am so impressed by the uniqueness and details of your videos. M
Most comprehensive history.. what an awesome work!! Thank you for these great history videos.
This was awesome! My new fav channel!
I possess a (sometimes literally) “consuming” love for history, however I know practically almost nothing about the history of Japan prior to the 20th Century. But, that is about to change. Your method of approach and presentation of this history makes it immediately interesting and (not trying to sound too much like a Fan Boy, honest) captivating. Once I am able to remember who is what guy with the Japanese name, from the other guy with another Japanese name, that I can’t remember from the other guy with another Japanese name, which my brain cannot compute any of them……I am confident I will learn a lot!!! Thank you, sir! Sincerely, Robert Hendrix - Lexington, SC
Seriously pleased to’ve found your channel - excellent vid, looking forward to watching many more
Thank you!
Beautifully done. These videos and your channel amazingly well done, I am truly looking forward to your next videos! Especially Kama Kura and Sengoku eras!
Thank you! I will do my best not to disappoint!
Japanese history is so interesting, I mean they have very unique changes through social and political events.
thank you, this was really in depth and quality.
Great video. Authentic historical pictures and drawings, too. Well researched.
Fascinating Japanese history! Well done art & narration!
One of the best things I've seen on UA-cam.
I found my way over here through your collab with the Shogunate, and I've been burning through your content since. I've always been fascinated with Japanese history (my first strategy game was Nobunaga's Ambition on the NES) and I've never seen it told so well.
I'm glad to hear you're enjoying the content! I've gotta get around to playing one of the Nobunaga's Ambitions one of these days, it seems like a really cool series.
こんにちはアダムこのは動画はすごかったThis video is amazing the intro was great and the way you told it was immersive and easy to understand even thought is was long and a lot happened I can’t for more videos and I wanted say I like that you put the 漢字 I actually learned the word 飢饉 from this お疲れ様ですアダムさんもっともっとすごい動画を楽しみしていますちなみアダムさんの声はかっこいくてナレーターみたいと思います
今回もご視聴いただきありがとうございました！I'm glad you enjoyed it! I think you will find 飢饉 to be a thoroughly useless word in everyday life, but it's always good to have in your back pocket just in case! 😁
This is a fascinating history.
You are helping me so much with my Japanese History to 1800 class. I am a visual person so this really helps to watch alongside my course reading material, bringing to life the characters I am studying about. You are a blessing! Thank you for your time and great effort to craft these beautiful episodes. 最高です！
I am also a very visual learner when it comes to history (partially why I started this channel) so I understand the feeling! I’m glad I can be of service!
Oh man I was just looking earlier today to see if there'd been any new videos xD
There's so much going during those times, it's crazy! Very good video🦊
Amazing work putting this all together!
Well written. Appreaciate you hard work. Love this series.
Thank you! I'm glad you're enjoying it!
This is really great, just about to read Tale of the Heike and this was perfect prep. I love all the scans of the art, really amazingly detailed work thank you so much for making this !
Thank you! I hope you enjoy reading the Tale!
I just happened to stumpke upon your channel and this video . Iwas hooked within an hour. You earned yourself another sub!
The real beauty is the heavenly retribution that struck Yoritomo and his descendants afterwards.
He died falling off a horse, his offspring murdered one another and the true rulers were his in laws from the Hojo family; which itself was a branch of the Taira clan.
A tale worth of Shakespeare or Monty Python (dependent on preference)!
Finally is here! What a journey, 1 and a half hour felt like 15 minutes. Brilliant job, keep it up! Looking forward to see more
Super happy to hear that! Thanks for watching!
Fabulous entertaining informative presentation. I was riveted the whole 90 minutes. I will be viewing some of your previous videos. Thanks!
Historian here, close to a dcotorate. Usually I'm extremely wary of history videos in my recommendations, but the length drew me in and your scholarly introduction kept me here.
I haven't checked the sources as I cannot speak japanese, I also don't know a lot about medieval Japan. Having said that, from what i can tell after having watched 50 minutes, you've done OUTSTANDING work. This might just be the single best history video I've ever had the pleasure of watching on youtube, thanks for all the hard work.
I'll be sure to subscribe and check out more videos in the fututure, keep it up.
Tremendous video. Thank you for all the hard work!
Glad you enjoyed it! 😁
Thank you for this instructional video I have always been interested in this story !
Your videos are some of the most superb productions I have ever encountered. Thank you for your excellent work.
Thank you! I appreciate the kind words immensely!
absolutely amazing. Thank you for making this
