This episode is one the best. You can tell by the end that the director previously worked on The Boys. Mariko and Blackthorne’s scenes were wonderful and quite sweet.
Unlike the Portuguese, England at the time standardized the making of cannons, which made them more accurate (but less powerful) than their counterparts. This made training easier. It's also worth noting that -- as Mariko put it -- her people had to endure earthquakes, tsunamis, and fires for a _long_ time. I guess this pissed them off so much that modern-day Japan is now the undisputed global champion when it comes to dealing and managing these disasters. Heck, now they even afford to make bullet trains and a 1:1 sized Gundam.
We have actually been told her full married name a few times, but it's early on when we're all still fangirling at the katanas and shoji screens and we don't know who to pay attention to for the plot cues, yet. But it's back there. No spoilers in this answer. Mariko's family name right now is Toda. Because she is married to Toda Hirokatsu (Buntaro), who is one of the sons of Toda Hiromatsu, Toranaga's trusted general. But she has not revealed her Maiden Name/her own family clan which gives her high birth.
Toranaga actually discusses her father's death with her including his full name in the first episode. I didn't realize it either until I rewatched the episode much later, it's actually a very important conversation to understanding their motivations.
