I don’t think that’s correct. I thought 1 Koku was equal to the amount of rice needed to feed a samurai and his immediate dependants for a year. That’s why in the book he is given 200 samurai of his own to command and support.
Since a Damyo can be best compared to a very highborn Lord, they are member of a the "nobility". So they never truly run out of money, as long as they have a name on them, with land, titles and men they will always have some sort of "credit" so to speak. financial debth was not treated like today and money didn't have the same value. If you had very high financial debts as a Lord, particularly to someone who had no real "name", what could they do? They couldn't really "force" you to pay it back. Their lands, the troops and peasants have been theirs by "birthright" not something they "bought". So who ever borowed them money couldn't just declare it theirs as payment. Particularly if they had no military power. Debth in money, was not enough of a claim in most cases to seize the land of some nobility. Only a higher lord, eventually, could take it away from them. But that by it self, was pretty risky. Particularly since personal soldiers and troops have been bound by oaths, loyalty and honor. They could see it as an insult or even an attack on their master. It was a complex society in that regard not so much bound by laws but allegiances. A lot of lords refuced to pay back their debts which eventually ended up in debtors supporting a rival with money. Infact, like when you look at the Medici, they gladly gave money to kings and the higher nobility even if they knew, they could never get it back. Because in exchange they got "favours" and "rights", like on trading, mines, cultivating land or just the influence of someone, speaking for them in political matters, supporting them with troops even in some cases. That was far more valuable than money in a time when your name alone, could "buy" you a lot of influence.
Yes, it also sounds permanent. He wanted to go home… all those things sound nice but it sounds like gifts you give to someone that is not gonna leave 😂
@@greg.peepeefacethey're cheap, yes, but you need to live in them for at least 6 months of every year, and work in those areas is hard to come by... Finding someone to pillow?... Not so much
@InVinoVeratas That's actually what Mariko said to him. It was a cultural misunderstanding. She didn't understand why he was refusing a consort of such social standing as Fuji and jumped to the conclusion that he preferred men.
When he refused the offer of a consort I was fully expecting her to be like “oh no problem we brought a backup just in case” and have a twink come forward 😂
Something that African Americans will find difficult to accept after social media hyped up Yasuke as a ‘samurai’ when in reality he was a retainer to Oda Nobunaga who flaunted him at meetings like an exotic pet.
@@NarasimhaDiyasena Exactly. Though he was a samurai BUT a low ranking one. He did get salary in a form of rice, had a small house, & had a katana, according to a record written by one of Oda's retainer. That's basically the privilege of the lowest rank samurai. Meanwhile a hatamoto, like Blackthorne & his real-life counterpart John Adams, had more salary, a big house, a consort, & more privileges such as a horse & his own land he could use as a farm.
Aint no fin way dude... duuuuude are you for real?!?!?!?! HAHAHAHA this is awesome i already watched the full season and peaky blinders too, how didnt i see this😂😂
@@JimTheSaneright iirc i read somewhere there's even a state mandated twink/femboys in the same place as the street girls Crazy huh ?? But that actually fucking happens and some big name samurai loves the idea
@@JimTheSaneWell they are fine with because the strongest Samurai warlord was a freaking gay and people are scared of him in the battlefield. He had a thing for cute boys. There are paintings depicting Samurai gays doing it with a peasant
Blackthorne’s title and honors are very similar to the situation of the hostages in Osaka now that I think about it. The noble family members can leave whenever they want. But to refuse Ishido’s hospitality would be an insult. Blackthorne can’t leave toranaga’s service with his life but no one will admit it to him
fkn lost it when he said "i don't want any generous cookoos" 😂. at first i was worried this show would be to serious, but it had just the right amount of comedy and it was so good overall i rewatched it twice back to back. what a show
For those wondering about how kokos are measured in rice, the peasants could only afford millet, the upper class could afford rice. Respect was given to those who grew rice as well😊
When I moved abroad I told myself and my friends it was only going to be 6 months. 4 years later I’m still living abroad. 6 months seemed daunting at first. But it actually goes by really fast
@@DannyConcepts Since they say there will be another season despite completing the entire story according to the book. They can't afford to have Fuji dead as in the book. So they threw her in a convent. Season two will probably start with Anjin being kidnapped and Fuji has to be recalled from the convent to lead a bunch of ninjas on a rescue mission.
Hiroyuki Sanada's character, Seibei, in "Twilight Samurai" lived on a stipend of 50 koku a year, which, during that period, meant a life of poverty for him and his family.

240 koku is the equivalent of $140,000 USD today.
I wonder what the Shõgun’s salary is, guess it doesn’t matter because the mere authority alone is worth more than money.
I don’t think that’s correct. I thought 1 Koku was equal to the amount of rice needed to feed a samurai and his immediate dependants for a year. That’s why in the book he is given 200 samurai of his own to command and support.

@@albytheresoon583$ for a year of rice doesn't sound amazingly far-fetched considering rice would have been cheaper then than now
