The culture and tradition of Japan, so different from that of Europe, never ceases to enchant and intrigue people from the West. Hideyoshi was made daimyo of part of Omi Province now Shiga Prefecture after he helped take the region from the Azai Clan, and in , Nobunaga sent him to Himeji Castle to face the Mori Clan and conquer western Japan. It is an idea taken from Confucianism. Ieyasu was too late to take revenge on Akechi Mitsuhide for his betrayal of Nobunaga—Hideyoshi beat him to it. Son of a common foot soldier in Owari Province now western Aichi Prefecture , he joined the Oda Clan as a foot soldier himself in After Imagawa leader Yoshimoto was killed in a surprise attack by Nobunaga, Ieyasu decided to switch sides and joined the Oda.

  • From Ieyasu to Yoshinao
    2021 Summer Special Exhibition From Ieyasu to Yoshinao The Transition to a Powerful Pre-Modern State July 17 (Sat.) - September 12 (Sun.), 2021 INTRODUCTION Striving through the sengoku (Warring States) period, Tokugawa Ieyasu (1543-1616) finally achieved the unification of the whole country. Yoshinao (1601-1650), the ninth son of Ieyasu, was assigned to govern the Owari domain during the era of peace. The two were father and son, yet they lived in contrasting times. Yoshinao, who inherited a large fortune of assets and texts from Ieyasu, established the foundations of the Owari domain and led Nagoya to prosperity. Focusing on the principles of their rule, passed down from Ieyasu to Yoshinao, this exhibition traces their lives, their administration, and Yoshinao’s feelings towards Ieyasu, as observed in historical documents and inherited objects. Part 1 Tokugawa Ieyasu, Toyotomi Family, and Tokugawa Yoshinao [ Exhibits Number: 1-42 ] Exhibition Rooms at Hosa Library [Section 1] Ieyasu during the Age of the Warring States: the Eve of Yoshinao’s Birth This section deals with the dramatic changes that occurred in the latter part of Ieyasu’s life, spanning the battle of Nagakute in 1584—in which Ieyasu and Nobukatsu (the second son of Nobunaga) fought Hideyoshi after Nobunaga’s death in 1582, Ieyasu’s subsequent vassalage to Hideyoshi, and the battle of Sekigahara in 1600. [Section 2] Yoshinao during the Age of the Warring States After the death of Toyotomi Hideyoshi on the 18th of the 8th month of 1598, Ieyasu increasingly came into conflict with Hideyoshi’s heir, Hideyori, and his vassals of western Japan, led by Ishida Mitsunari.

  • Conventions of This Guide
    The VINTAGE NINJA Movie & TV Guide VOL. 1: JAPAN, LIVE ACTION — 1920s-1980s © Keith J. Rainville, 2021 You want to see the movies Sho Kosugi grew up watching, the ones that inspired animation designers and video game artists of the 80s and 90s, the ones the James Bond people ripped off in the 60s, but where to start? Or, you’ve amassed a collection of these gems already but know there’s more out there. Here’s a user- friendly reference for both pursuits, with quick-and-easy recommendations for Japanese ninja titles from the silent era to the late 80s — their general flavor and tone, varying trends and tropes, and a lot of surprises. CONVENTIONS OF THIS GUIDE: • TITLES — for better or worse I’ve used the most commonly used translations out there. These are often the most accessible references to these films so, even if the title’s been butchered, there’s still a practical advantage when searching them out. • VN as an entity has to be cautious when it comes to supporting/endorsing certain not-so-authorized film collecting activities out there, so sorry, there’s no links here... • YES THERE’S MORE TO COME! This will be updated often and I have a huge stack of discs and files awaiting input. Plus future volumes on Anime, Japan 1990—present, Hong Kong/Chinese films, ninja-like hooded heroes, and more. • Yes, we welcome corrections and additions. Email me through the website. • See the Appendixes at the end for more info! Images © Shochiku Co., Ltd, 1965. Text © Keith J.

  • 81 BAB IV DAMPAK PERANG SEKIGAHARA Perang Yang Terjadi
    81 BAB IV DAMPAK PERANG SEKIGAHARA Perang yang terjadi diantara dua kubu ini telah menyebabkan Jepang mengalami perubahan yang signifikan dalam pemerintahan dan memberikan angin segar perubahan. Pasukan timur yang berhasil memenangkan pertempuran memperoleh kekuasaan yang lebih besar. Serta memberikan dampak yang begitu besar bagi Tokugawa Ieyasu yang memimpin pasukan timur. Tokugawa Ieyasu berhasil menanamkan pondasi pemerintahannya dengan mengalahkan Mori Terumoto di Istana Osaka. Perang Sekigahara yang berakhir secara resmi setelah penyerangan Tokugawa Ieyasu ke Istana Osaka yang berlangsung dua kali yang pertama pada musim gugur dan kedua pada musim dingin. Kekuasaan pemerintahan militer secara mutlak berhasil didapatkan oleh Tokugawa Ieyasu. Mori Terumoto berharap kemenangan Tokugawa dapat memaafkan semua kesalahan yang dilakukan oleh Klan Mori dalam Perang Sekigahara, kedua pemimpin besar tersebut saling mengirim surat ketika Tokugawa Ieyasu kembali ke Istana Osaka. Namun upaya yang dilakukan oleh Mori Hidemoto untuk mendapat pengampunan dari Tokugawa tidak berhasil. Tokugawa Ieyasu beranggapan bahwa tindakan Mori Terumoto yang tidak ikut berpihak pada pasukan timur dan mendukung pasukan barat walaupun tidak ikut dalam pertempuran, namun perintah terhadap daimyo bawahanya yang dilakukan oleh 82 Mori Terumoto untuk melakukan serangan terhadap pasukan timur tidak dapat diterima oleh Tokugawa Ieyasu.1 Tokugawa Ieyasu yang berhasil mendapat kemenangan dalam Perang Sekigahara, berhasil mendapatkan gelar shogun pada tahun 1603. Setelah berhasil mendapatkan gelar tersebut Tokugawa Ieyasu memindahkan ibukota pemerintahannya ke Edo. Tentunya hal ini dilakukan untuk lebih menstabilkan kekuasaannya dan Tokugawa dapat lebih baik dalam mengontrol para daimyo bawahannya. Salah satu faktor perpindahannya daerah ibukota juga dilandasi oleh kehancuran ibukota yang lama akibat pertempuran yang sudah berlangsung lama hingga membutuhkan biaya yang tidak sedikit dalam pembangunannya.
