"Learning is to a man as the leaves and branches are to a tree, and it can be said that he should simply not be without it." - Takeda Shingen Glad to see you back, the best history series on TH-cam resumes!
Been so long since you're last post, wonderful to see you back here as I'm in the middle of studying the Nanboku-cho period at length since it isn't well known but your content has always been something I look forward to.
Yooo. He's back. I haven't seen anything new on here since I found this channel until today. I just got done watching it and I have mixed feelings about this period. While I find it fascinating that warrior-rule and decentralization lead to economic and cultural booms, I have to say, I have a bit of secondhand nostalgia for the more elegant and aristocratic parts of the Heian period in particular. I love the subtlety of The Tale of Genji, and the deep emotion of Heian period waka poetry. Not to mention that it was in the Heian period that the warriors really emerged as an actual force. Also, your video on the war in the north is particularly helpful as, not only do I love the history of Tohoku in the Heian Period, but also I'm going to be translating, and making a video on, the story of the Former Nine Years War from the Konjaku Monogatari Shu sometime in the near future and I'll be rewatching your video on it multiple times. Thanks for the good work. Looking forward to more content in the future.
I also have a particular fondness for the late Heian period, so I totally understand your sentiment. Good luck with your translation, that sounds like a very cool project!
Currently reading The Founding of the Kamakura Shogunate 1180-1185 by Minoru Shinoda. Had to seek it out through our state library system and shipped from a university. Thanks to your channel for bringing me such wonderful content and reviving my love for medieval japan
I did a double take when I saw the announcement! You're one of my favorite youtube channels, and have thoroughly enjoyed your videos as a huge history nerd. I honestly think your videos are some of the best english language online resources for japanese history. Very excited to see future videos to come!
Thank you so much! It’s a constant battle with my work schedule, but I definitely intend to keep the series going. Your support and kind words are very, very much keeping me motivated!
I just got back from a con, and what a better way to wrap it up than with the first Japanese History: the Textbook video in nearly a year? Welcome back dude! Looking forward to the start of the sengoku jidai 😎
For anyone interested in the cultural segment of this video, there's a fantastic documentary series from like a decade ago called "Understanding Japan: A Cultural History" that's now free to watch on TH-cam. It's more focused on the cultural aspects of history than the political history this series tends to focus on while still touching on a lot of the same things/historic events, which makes it a great supplement to this show.
I just binged The textbook series in one day thank you so much for this wonderful series, it's bittersweet that this type of quality content takes time to produce but i'm so glad it exists, looking forward to the next video!!!
Thank you for this EXCELLENT content. Do you have any recommendation for any sources in English on how the way of warfare developed from the Onin War until the establishment of the Tokugawa Shogunate?
Thank you! I’m afraid I do not, though. As I live in Japan, I do 99% of my history reading in Japanese. (I probably ought to read more English stuff too, though, as I’m sure there are a lot of great books out there.)
お久しぶりAdamさん、新しい動画を作ってくれて嬉しい！I’m really happy you could make a new video the 足利幕府 was interesting and how many problems it had and I think you explained the 応仁の乱 very well. I also like how you explained 地侍.my favorite was the second half the culture and daily ice was fun and heparin about 沖縄 and 北山 中山 南山 was great . 次の動画を楽しみ！
いつもご視聴いただきありがとうございます！Thanks for always being one of the first to watch! I'm glad you liked the 応仁の乱 explanation, I was worried that no matter how I explained it it would be confusing, but it sounds like it worked out alright 😁
This is so great! As important as the political events are, I absolutely cherished the second part dealing with the cultural aspects of the Muromachi period. I wish there was a long video or series of everything culture for each era. Welcome back and thank you very much!
I will definitely try to continue to shine a spotlight on social and cultural stuff going forward! It was a fun part of the video for me to make as well. Glad you enjoyed it!
Was so happy to see this show up, and it was wonderful as always. Thank you for making such a series, which is both definitive factually and extremely enjoyable to watch, with a wonderful calm vibe overall, and so much resplendent art and other visual aids for context. Eagerly awaiting the next, however long it takes.
I was just lamenting this channel’s infrequent updates yesterday as I relistened to all the videos this past week, and now we have a new long one! This is great-thank you!
Again, what a fantastic channel and great content. I have no idea how long it takes you to find all the art relevant to each subject but it adds a ton to the video and helps ease us into what are often pretty complex political history facts. I feel like I've heard so much about the Ashikaga family and was never sure what they did or they were, this period was always very blurry but this video really dispelled that.
I’m super glad to hear you enjoyed the video! Collecting the images is indeed one of the most time-consuming aspects of the editing process (I have sometimes spent entire afternoons in pursuit of a single image 😅) but it makes it feel worthwhile to know you appreciate them!
really enjoy your series- such depth and so well researched, the art choices and graphics are excellent, and your presentation, voice, and obvious relish for Japanese pronunciation make these very enjoyable. Thanks, and keep up the good work!
That 🔥 🔥 theme music gets me bobbin my head, clappin and shoulder shimmying every time. Glad you didn’t cave in to the haters. Keep up the good work man!
When finally I saw the notification about your latest video my heart just jumped out of my chest as for 1 year I sometimes saw at your channel and thought when will he continue? But today finally that became true. Your videos are so enjoyable and informative as always they have been.
So glad to have another chapter to watch and digest. It has taken me a few days to have some time to put aside for it, but like all the previous videos it was well worth it. Oh, and I had an amazing time in Tohoku last year 😁
As always, your videos are in-depth and properly researched unlike other pop-history in youtube. Given that you've included the histories of both of the Chinese Ming Dynasty and the Korean Joseon Dynasty, you'll be tackling the Imijin War eventually, right? Oh boy, that's going to be quite the historical material to be covering since it's basically a hot political mudpit for Korea and Japan especially. It'll be interesting to see how you'll be doing a unbiased view of it.

The notification belled. I gasped for air.
Gay

I’m sad you didn’t make this a haiku
@louie97ation A Haiku would be anachronistic for this Muromachi Period video
@@Wittle_Boyo I thought I was gay, the notification belled, I knew I was gay.

YES YES YES! Never been so happy to see a notification! Grateful you're still continuing these :) :)
Glad to have you back! We visited Japan last November and visited many of the sites you reference in your videos. Keep up the good work.
There are no words to describe how pleased I am that you continued the series.

@@BuyuudenJapaneseHistory Best of luck with that. I also was surprised to see the new video coming after such a long silience!
You just became my favorite channel. It is crazy that we can get this kind of content for free. I hope you will keep going.

One of the best channels on youtube
Thanks!
Thank you so much! You are keeping the lights on! 🙇
@@BuyuudenJapaneseHistory I plan to give more next video :p
Really amps my appreciation for the new anime The Elusive Samurai (also Heike Monotagari)
He lives! Welcome back and looking forward to more great videos.

Glad to see so many infos about muromachi goverment in one video, usually any info about muromachi i found just jump into start of sengoku war
Holy shit. I once again assumed you died. The greatest history channel on TH-cam is back. Your channel is a hidden gem and is massively underrated.
Omg I'm so so so so excited that you're back!!!! Thank you for all the time you put into these! We are all so lucky!!!
The detail and effort put into these videos make them well worth the wait and really show how much care went into them.
Your back! Nice
The master returns!
aaand I'm caught up on the entire main series. As far as TH-cam videos go, yours is hands down my favourite!!! Can't wait for next episode!!!

Finally its time
After a very long pause

@@BuyuudenJapaneseHistory - Thank you and I am looking forward to more videos from you!
A tear fell on my face when I saw a new video on this channel
Quality production sir! I especially loved the final 10 minutes or so dealing with the cultural transformation of the lower classes!
Was so happy to see this show up, and it was wonderful as always. Thank you for making such a series, which is both definitive factually and extremely enjoyable to watch, with a wonderful calm vibe overall, and so much resplendent art and other visual aids for context. Eagerly awaiting the next, however long it takes.

welcome back - so psyched to see a new video!
New episode, let's go!!!
So glad to have another chapter to watch and digest. It has taken me a few days to have some time to put aside for it, but like all the previous videos it was well worth it. Oh, and I had an amazing time in Tohoku last year 😁
Very happy to hear you enjoyed Tohoku! It’s truly a hidden gem!
Yay! I was so excited to get this notification! Glad you’re back!
Gotta rewatch the whole series 😁
Oh boy oh boy a new video! love your content! ❤
Fascinating and entertaining as ever! Glad you're back making these wonderfully informative videos! Thank you!
Holy crap Buyuuden you scared me with this absence 😅 but here's warm welcome, amazing vid as ever
I’ll probably keep scaring you occasionally from here on, but I’ll do my best to keep going! 😂
Delighted to see you posting again! I love this channel so much. Hope life has been treating you alright in the meantime.
Great to have you back and a great video as always, well worth waiting for!
Way to go YT. Thanks for telling me about the new episode two days after release.
Great to see you back! We missed you!
Love this channel
Fantastic! Thank you!
Oh sick youre back ❤ keep it up man terrific channel
Thank you so much. Glad to see your are back
Yay. Another video. Love your stuff. 全て感謝しますよ。
Great to have you back!! 🥰
Time to go rewatch the entire series.
As always, your videos are in-depth and properly researched unlike other pop-history in youtube.
Given that you've included the histories of both of the Chinese Ming Dynasty and the Korean Joseon Dynasty, you'll be tackling the Imijin War eventually, right?
Oh boy, that's going to be quite the historical material to be covering since it's basically a hot political mudpit for Korea and Japan especially. It'll be interesting to see how you'll be doing a unbiased view of it.
I do hope to tackle it eventually! Although you're making me nervous about it already... Haha
Keep keeping on!
So excited for the next episode. Keep up the great work!
Amazing video, the wait was worth it!
Happy your back
Yesssssssss!! The waiting has paid off.
I'm glad to see you back. I found your channel during your sabbatical.
he's back!!
Welcome back!
A drama series in which Sanada Hiroyuki played the first shogun, Ashikaga Takauji, was broadcast about 30 years ago.
Return of the Emperor. Welcome back, it's been a while!
Hell yeah glad to see you’re back
Im not at all embarrassed about how excited I got seeing this video!
