Then I would probably name them as 太郎, 二郎,三郎… (eldest, two, three…etc), as it’s a common way to name sons in such way in Japan

I remember like years ago my principal remember almost everyone name in the school ( at the time probably were a few hundred kids)

@@timchiu501 Also in ancient China, they would call them "First" "Last Name", "Trouble" "Last Name", and so on lol

the thing is emperor didnt even try to memorize their names. he just expelled all of them from his court.

Plus the Minamoto and Taira Clans, since they were actual branches of the Yamato Family.

@@dorderre well yes. I did mean them but I was loosely calling them the "Shogun families" But ideally it would be like Imperial line -> Kanmu Heishi dotted line down to kiyomori and his sons, dotted line down to the Hojo, dotted line down to nobunaga. Imperial line -> seiwa genji dotted line down to Yoritomo, dotted line to ashikaga, dotted line to Tokugawa Then Fujiwara-> separation into the konoe and kujo branches.

Ah yes, here is the comment I was looking for! It immediately popped into my head after hearing the mention of the Fujiwara Clan, which famously married their daughters into the Imperial family, allowing them control over the Heian court for 200 years.

I’m late to the video premiere but I’m happy to see that Linfamy’s famous Fujiwara Clan quote is spreading around KZfaq….much like the Fujiwara influence in the Heian court!

The Fujiwara clan reminds me of the Crane Clan from Legend of the Five Rings.

Ultimogeniture is neat. I think it’s the system I would prefer if I were a monarch. That way, you can take a look at who your most recent child is and judge whether you think they’d make a good successor or not. If you don’t think they would, then you get the option to “re-roll the dice” and try again by having another child, thus making them the youngest, and you can just stop having children when you’re satisfied with the current youngest. With primogeniture, you’re just stuck with the first one you had…unless you kill them or something, but that’s a rather bad look for a monarch. Of course, I would really prefer if I could simply hand-pick my successor from all my children. But as long as there’s going to be a basic rule of succession in the absence of any choice, I prefer ultimogeniture.

every legends has an interesting things

@@zanews23 The best trick probably on first loss of power by the Emperor was to convince the new people in charge it better to retain the emperor as figure head instead of making themselves Emperor. And thus the longest running dynasty because every time they lose power they are not killed just made figureheads as that is what everyone expects them to do. Mac Arthur certainly knew this along with US government. Thus retaining the Emperor but letting him live in his bunker for awhile. They did not charge the Emperor but he's not alone several figures who should have been charged with war crimes were not as Americans rightly needed some competent people running the new Japan as American did not want to keep the place. Enough people guilty of the major warcrimes mostly committed suicide but if not were charged and executed.

@@zanews23 the problem with ultimogeniture though is you have a higher chance of having a child inherit the throne

@@jaimelannister1797 Not a problem if you have a surviving spouse who can act as regent for a few years while the monarch grows up :)

"so you've been playing Crusader Kings..."

Early Emperors of which we don't have extra documentation on are said to normally marry sisters making them like Egyptian Pharaoh who were expected to. By extra documentation the two earliest history books have them and who married who but as these also include creation myths and tales of the gods they are not considered proof. But something missed by those attacking things like this is when writen we are aware of other sources they had to comply with. Probably thanks to oral tradition they probably right on the names in order of the first to 31st but other details uncertain and the Devine parts unprovable.

Real Crusader Kings vibes

Just out of curiosity what periods of Japanese history did you learn at high school? Or if you learned any other history outside of Japan which periods?

@@haera1471 I guess in high school we have learned through Japanese history from ancient era to a bit around the cold war. Everyone learns world history and Japanese history at least once or twice in the elementary and junior high school, I guess.

If you are still interested the youtube channel “buyuuden japanese history” is doing a chronological order of japanese history as shown in textbooks

@@haera1471we also learn about some foreign history as well, like parts of Roman history in junior high. But this section is not large. Foreign History that impacted Japanese history (like Opium war) are given more context though. In High school students can choose between World history and Japanese history where students can deepen their knowledge of history.

So why is it that those historically could do it in a TOTALLY different political context to today but the current leadership have to "stick to tradition" that those that initially implemented went against in his own timeframe? And when the Emperor in 22:00 made his daughter his heir for the first time in 900 years? They break all the tradition, but we're a hostage to "culture" and are continually forced to keeping these regressive practices 🙄

More precisely, he is "a descendant of the Baekje royal family who defected to Japan 200 years ago. However, Korean records do not confirm the name of the exiled prince.

@@jagaimo3839 yes, that is a good comparison.

Emperor of Japan = First to unify the nation and founder of Shinto religion. However, from the Kamakura Shogunate to the Edo period, the shogun was the real power. After the fall of the Tokugawa shogunate, the emperor became the head of state, imitating the Western constitutional monarchy.

that wouldn't be that hard honestly because i believe the last male line descendants of the southern court emperors died in the early 1400s so if it was to stay the way it happened in real life the northern court descendants would become the legitimate heirs either way.

Yeah, they all died out.

Okinawa has been under Satsuma control since 1609.

@@yo2trader539 Satsuma indeed invaded Ryukyu in 1609 but the Sho dynasty was abolished in 1879. Japan during the Tokugawa era traded through the Ryukyu kingdom with China due to the fact China refused to trade with Japan. Because the Ryukyu kingdom was a tribute state of China, Satsuma couldn't annex it and had to keep Ryukyu "independent". Ryukyu, after Satsuma's invasion, became a Vasal state of Satsuma. Therefore the Sho dynasty ruled Ryukyu as a vasal state until 1879 and were abolished only after Japan annexed the Ryukyu islands (present day Okinawa).

@@chenplotkin378 Actually, Chinese ships were allowed to dock in Nagasaki along with the Dutch during the Edo period. So there was trade throughout.

In addition, the period saw half a dozen capitals, all in or around Nara; whereas the Heian period began and ended with the Heiankyo as capital.

@Anonymus X There is not much assumption. The first part (less cross-breeding) is just an observation from the chart (there are almost no lines connecting the dynasties of the countries), the second (you would see more when looking at the families inside a country) is from what was told in this video about the other noble families. Or do you mean there are actually connections which are just not shown on the chart?

Some famous Asian dynasties cross-breeding happened between Chinese emperor's family and Khans in the steppe. Otherwise, during the Zhou dynasty, family of Kings and dukes were cross-breeding very much. The 16 kingdoms, warlords of Tang dynasty, then Aisingioro family with Genghis khan's descendants lived in the steppe, all did the same.

Asian countries up until the 18th century usually did everything internally

"But the shogun is actually in control" -Also Bill Wurtz

Sss

Not really

Prince Kusakabe was both her nephew and her 1st cousin! Yikes.

Pretty much all the reigning empresses of that time had a similar situation: - Empress Suiko (semi-mythological, not mentioned in the video, strangely enough her personal name was Nukatabe) was married to her half-brother, Emperor Bidatsu - Empress Kogyoku/Saimei (the mother of emperors Tenji and Tenmu) was married to her (possibly-half) uncle, Emperor Jomei, who, BTW, was the son of half-siblings and was married to one of Empress Suiko's daughters, ergo, his half-aunt (Kogyoku, like Empress Koken, also reigned twice, although in her case it was because her successor died) - Empresses Jito and Genmei (who were half-sisters, but their mothers were also sisters) have already been mentioned, but a special note should be made on the fact that their father, Emperor Tenji, had six other married daughters. Of said daughters, three, Princesses Ota, Niitabe and Oe, married Emperor Tenmu himself (Ota was Empress Jito's full-blooded sister), while the other three, Princesses Minabe, Yamabe and Asuka, married Tenmu's sons, of them, two must be commented upon: Prince Takechi, Princess Minabe's husband, who was in love with his elder half-sister (who, BTW, was married to his cousin, Emperor Kobun, ergo the guy his father deposed); and Prince Otsu, Princess Yamanobe's who, you guessed it, was Princess Oka's son, meaning that he was his wife's nephew and cousin (her mother was the first cousin of Empresses Jito and Genmei's mothers). After Genmei, all other empresses, like seen on the line, were childless, but a special note, I think, shoulde be made about Empresses Meisho and Go-Sakuramachi. - Meisho is a bit badass because she had living brothers when she became Empress, but her mother was the Empress and daughter of the second TOkugawa Shogun, while they were sons of concubines, and so she became empress before them. She also was the ruler of japan when the country officially banned christianity, and after becoming empress at age 5 she then ruled until age 19, and then proceeded to live until the age of 72 - Go-Sakuramachi, on the other hand, inherited the throne from her brother at the age of 22, who abdicated in her name, and ruled until the age of 30. While during her reign there was an attempt against the power of the shogun, she truly became a bit awesome after her abdication though, because as the Retired Empress from 1771 to 1813, she was responsible for preventing a succession crisis when her nephew became deathly ill (by choosing who would be the chosen relative he would adopt as his heir, as he was the last male-line descendant of Emperor Nakamikado) and for the remainder of her life she came to be referred as "Guardian of the Young Lord", referring to the fact that she was a constant figure behind the reign of Emperor Kokaku (her nephew's successor), which was also the reign which started the slow undermining of the shogun's powers

No, they must marry someone within the Imperial Family to maintain their status. In the old days this wasn't an issue because there were multiple cadet branches you could marry into. It only became an "issue" post WWII when the cadet branches were stripped of their Imperial status.

If you trust the family tree, yes. It hasn't changed since the first generation.

"is Emperor Naruhito a male-line descendant of Emperor Tenmu?" no, Tenmu's last reigning male line descendant was Junnin even though it says on the chart that Princess Inoe one of the wives of Emperor Konin was the mother of Konin's son Kanmu that is untrue Kanmu's actual mother was Takano no Niigasa a descendant of a exiled Korean Prince, so no Naruhito is nether a male line descendant of Tenmu or even a direct descendant at all, but he is a direct male line descendant of Tenmu's brother Prince Shiki.

@@o-o2399 oh i misread Tenmu = Jinmu lol thank you to correct

The Sho family of Okinawa only goes back to the 1469 ad and took power from the previous Sho Dynasty who they have no blood connections too but adopted the surname as the new rulers. They were minor chieftans of the Chuzan petty kingdom of the Island before.
