The greatest tea master of the Sengoku period was Sen no Rikyu. Hirokatsu Toda (Tadaoki Hosokawa) is a disciple of Sen no Rikyu. Tea ceremony is a samurai's advanced knowledge, and if its ability is not recognized, cannot be provided to others A famous tea utensil is a tea caddy called Kujuka Mina. (Matcha) It's the same size as the small bottle Hirokatsu used to serve matcha. In today's money, that's equivalent to about $650,000. At that time, it was said that you could buy a country (today's Tokyo) with a piece of paper.
Hiramatsu's seppuku was not a pre-arranged meeting with Toranaga. The relationship of trust built over several decades has been completed. This is a silent exchange between Hiramatsu and Toranaga. Whether Hiramatsu is a senior vassal or not depends on when and how he uses his life. He saw through Toranaga's plan and fulfilled his role. The whole thing was a ploy to make Yabushige believe that he would surrender and join his side.
During the Warring States period, the issue was how to work for the lord. It is absolutely necessary, even if it costs your life. During the Sengoku period, large armies of 20,000 to 30,000 people clashed. Of course there are circumstances To avoid a war of attrition of soldiers and supplies. Offer good terms to the other party and get them to become your ally. The emphasis was on avoiding war through strategy. The battle between Toranaga and Ishido that happens after this In historical fact, it was the Battle of Sekigahara between the Tokugawa army and Ishida army. I will omit the details. Ieyasu's army had about 70,000 soldiers, and Ishida's army had about 100,000 soldiers. The battle that divided Japan in two ended in just six hours. This is because the military commanders defected to the Tokugawa army due to Ieyasu's strategy.
Toranaga-Ieyasu experienced many losing battles. He lost a battle he thought he could win. There were times when he almost lost his life. Ieyasu was blessed with vassals. In particular, Tadakatsu Honda, one of the Tokugawa Four Heavenly Kings, first competed at the age of 13. He was undefeated and unscathed in 57 battles during his career. To buy time for Ieyasu to retreat. He leads 500 men to face an army of 160,000 in front of the river. He led his horse and slowly gave it water. The enemy did not attack across the river. When you transcend death, you can know death and accept it without fear. give everything to play the role That's why you can become a brave and strong military commander. I have an interesting story Battle of Sekigahara Eastern Army: Approximately 70,000 (Ieyasu = Toranaga) Western Army: Approximately 100,000 (Ishida = Ishido) Western Army Satsuma Domain Approximately 1,000 soldiers led by Yoshihiro Shimazu Although they were forced to retreat during the Battle of Sekigahara, I can't retreat because I'm surrounded Yoshihiro Shimazu breaks through enemy lines Assault on Ieyasu headquarters The Shimazu army passed near Ieyasu's headquarters and successfully retreated. Block the pursuers until only a few dozen people remain and are wiped out. Repeating this was a tactic that only the Satsuma clan could do. The soldier came forward of his own volition and became a discarded pawn. Only about 30 people remained until the end. Ieyasu praised this bravery. The territory of the Satsuma domain was not confiscated. Ironically, the one who overthrew the Edo Shogunate, which lasted for 250 years, was It was the Satsuma domain.
A vassal's greatest duty is to risk his life for his lord. Hiramatsu realizes his greatest responsibility and commits seppuku. It was a tacit understanding that we had spent many years together. Reading the atmosphere of places that is commonplace in Japan It is to say. Modern Japanese people also cherish the atmosphere of this place. Because you can understand without speaking On the other hand, those who do not understand will be left out.
Applying this story to foreign cultures, You probably can't understand the way Japanese people thought during the Sengoku period. I'm interested because I don't know. The original story written by a foreigner makes the drama interesting. Although it recreates Japanese culture, since it is a drama, it may differ slightly from historical reality. During the Sengoku period, the concept of death was weak, so To add dignity to death, commit suicide (seppuku) rather than live a life of humiliation. It was considered more honorable to do so.
In historical fact Anjin and Mariko lived in the same era. I've never actually met you. If the two had met, Hirokatsu would have beheaded him immediately. He is famous as the short-tempered military commander of the Sengoku period. He was so short-tempered that the missionary Frois described him as ``the shortest feudal lord in Japan.'' The checkpoint official beheaded him simply by stopping him. Kill everyone who surrenders in battle Later on, you are warned not to kill those who surrender. He is said to be the most loving wife in the Sengoku period. Hirokatsu Toda (Tadaoki Hosokawa) restrains Mariko (Garasha Hosokawa). She also thought about divorce. I often send letters from my expeditions. Hirokatsu Toda (Tadaoki Hosokawa) is a gardener who was watching Mariko (Garasha Hosokawa). cutting off the head of When Mariko's (Hosokawa Gracia) dish contained hair. He ate it as is, but Hirokatsu Toda (Tadaoki Hosokawa) He cuts off the chef's head and places it in front of Mariko (Hosokawa Garasha). It is said that she wiped the blood on his sword with Mariko's (Hosokawa Garasha) kimono. It seems that Mariko (Garasha Hosokawa) did not change her kimono for three days. Mariko's (Hosokawa Gracia) silent protest was also strong-willed. Apparently, Hirokatsu Toda (Tadaoki Hosokawa) apologized and changed her kimono. However, because her love is too strong, she is the daughter of a traitor. She puts Mariko (Hosokawa Garasha) under house arrest, who was supposed to be sentenced to death, and keeps her alive. Because just like in the drama, she was able to stop her self-harm. During her time under house arrest, her heart turned to Christianity. Mariko (Garasha Hosokawa) converted to Hirokatsu Toda (Tadaoki Hosokawa) without his permission. Her angry Hirokatsu Toda (Tadaoki Hosokawa) cuts off the nose and ears of the maid who helped her convert. Mariko (Garasha Hosokawa) was determined to convert and he left it alone. It's funny that he loved her so much
