I am impressed how you were able to fit the entire history of samurai in a 25 minute long video! Well done, Shogo!

@KateJohn2013England 2 жыл бұрын

With respect. Shogo even said this was a short run down. It would take many more hours to do a full history of the Samurai. Having said that it is clever how Shogo dose these compressed lessons on the culture of Japan! It is probably the time he spent in the USA that helps with this.

@Agent_Frank_Horrigan 2 жыл бұрын

I think the most unique part of this lesson is that when you mentioned why and how America westernized Japan. Here in the states specifically California for me, we have a world history class, and we get basically everything you just said in this video. But they never mentioned how America found Japan. Or why our trade was important. I love these small portions of information that seem like common knowledge for one nation, but not for another.

I was looking for a comment mentioning it but I personally feel the opposite very strongly. This is extremely distracting and makes it seem like he doesn't know what he's talking about since he's constantly asking for approval with it. It's very different from his usual narration and I honestly couldn't watch it past the 5 minute mark, even tho I'm very interested in the topic.

I also like the "yeah." It's preferred over the "um" or "uh" in speaking. And it isn't overused, still indicating strong speaking skills.

I love how you can see Japanese-styled speech because of the "Yeah" or "Mhm" that is said near the end of sentences in this video, whereas most native English speakers either say "Right" or nothing at all. Fascinating.

I absolutely love Shogo. The way he speaks so sweetly, and explains the answers simply, yet in depth. I adore the Japanese culture. I fell in love when I watched a documentary about Geisha and ive been very interested ever since. I myself am Romani (Gypsy) and I live in New Zealand. Here there is very minimal Japanese culture around, and my culture (Gypsy and European) is very very different (Euro is SO borong and selfish 😖) so I find it hard to learn and experience anything. I rely on the internet, since coming across this channel I have learnt so much so quickly! Thank you for doing what you do Shogo! 🙏🥰

@odanobunagafan4964 2 жыл бұрын

He kind of did talk about them. The Jomon people, whom he talked about at the start of the video, are basically the predecessors of the Ainu, who moved up North to Hokkaido following the arrival of the Yayoi. You said that you also wanted to know how Japan's culture has impacted by the Ainu. Short answer is it hasn't. The Ainu have been isolated from the Yamato for such a long time that they haven't really had a chance to make an impact on their history.

I highly recommend the Netflix documentary series “History of Samurai” to learn more about the three warlords of the Sengoku Period that Shogo mentioned. It goes through the timeline between Oda Nobunaga starting his campaign towards domination, all the way to Tokugawa Ieyasu’s victory and pacification of Japan starting the Edo Period.

@Rvoid 2 жыл бұрын

I would not actually, but if you do want to watch it, take it with a multi-grain of salt. While Netflix calls it a documentary, they took a lot of dramatical license in depicting both the events and characters.

Hello Shogo, speaking about the history of samurai, can I request your reaction in Ghost of Tsushima? Everyone is really wanted to see your version, and the characters may fictional but the time setting is 1274 like you said The story follows a samurai named Jin Sakai who want to freeing Tsushima Island from the raid of Mongol Empire while lead by Khotun Khan, cousin of Kublai and grandson of Genghis. Jin even notice that the code honor of samurai wasn't helping Jin to freeing Tsushima, he choosing and forging a new path but really breaking the code of honor, then his fighting style was called "The Way of the Ghost"

@AdamOwenBrowning 2 жыл бұрын

Samurai are portrayed as noble because it's cool - like European knights. Aristocratic families across the globe were occasionally abusive, corrupt, scheming and disloyal. There's plenty of that in Japanese history! Really, they are romanticized (I think) because of Bushido, which is like the code of chivalry, only far more woven into a culture of warrior people who began as low-status armed guards and rose to that of a rule by military force. It sounds cool, right? The virtues of Bushido value things like honor, a sense of justice, sincerity, loyalty to your lord, martial ability, etc etc... at the end of the day we are all human beings, so plenty of samurai, just like any person with power in history, didn't follow this at all. This "bushido code" warrior culture didn't exist immediately either...

@user-rj8iv1zi1s 2 жыл бұрын

@@AdamOwenBrowning Bushido were only a ideology created Meiji restoration to serve the emperor, Samurai are also human, switching sides was too common in Samurai period.... famous samurai like Todo takatora, or famous spear user Kani Saizo changed their master lots of times, on the battle filed life is the No.1 thing Samurai care about (not all samurai,) that's the original meaning of Bushido.
