3 Reasons Why the Shogun Didn't Defeat the Emperor
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 พ.ค. 2024
- If you have studied about Japanese history before, I’m sure you've learned that Japan has been ruled by the Imperial Family and also the “shogun.”
The shogun was the samurai leader of Japan that ruled for more than 700 years.
...But how could two authorities exist in history at the same time?
What was the relationship between the Imperial family and the shogun?
Why didn’t one just defeat the other in order to become the one and only leader?
So today, as a Japanese man that has been studying Japanese history for more than 10 years, I will explain about the history of the Imperial Court and the shogunate (the shogun’s government), and also take a closer look at their relationship throughout history.
This video will be perfect for those who are studying about Japanese history and culture, to have a clearer image on how Japan came to be how it is today.

Thank you again very much for watching!
This is so wonderful :)
There is so much I would like to discuss with you on the topic of the Tokugawa shogunate since it is my most interested topics amongst many others
One thing I'm interested in is how did the marriage between Tokugawa Masako and Go-Mizunoo fair in terms relations between the Tokugawa and the imperial family for decades to come
But besides that
I'd really like to reach out to considering I do have a deep burning passion to learn as much as I can about your great history
Sorry but i got confused 🤕. Which one is the first
Shogun 1- Sakanoue- tamuramaro
Or 2- Minamoto-no-Yoritomo
Please please do a video on miyamoto mushashi
question :
since at Edo Era the Shogunate become ruler all Japan, did the imperial family has land or farm ? get paid or salary ? how them get money ?
Did Shogunate has Organization structure?
Alternative Title: Why did the Shogunate let Emperor dress like an Emperor, and have nice things?
Hah, Bill Wurtz, hehahahahaha
But the sad thing is that once at the time of sengoku period the emperor Go-Nara had to sell his painting and calligrahy because of the Imperial Courts poverty was so extreme that the Emperor was forced to sell his all of his calligraphy and paintings
That was a very rough time for the emperor at the time
Shogo should really watch that.
Lol
Shogun gives emperor privacy
Emperor invade shogun property and kick him off his home ruined 500 years of peace and caused bloodshed revolution that nobody wanted even the shogunates
Tokugawa Yoshinobu wasn't even a bad guy
Who is here after watching Shogun?
Been binging his content as soon as I finished the series two weeks ago!
In England there was a similar thing in the feudal era, with Kingmakers being unofficially lords who were more powerful than the kings. Today in the modern era umbrella corporations also wield greater power than governments. Interesting dynamics, huh?
Nothing's original, & we never learn as a species.
Different Japanese emperor is more like Religious figure
King Of England before Reformation is just Secular leader like Shogun
The same can be said regarding the emirs and sipahis of the Muslim lands. Kings were small in number, they could only rule people so much.
@@Jumpoable president are the old kings and the coperation leadhership are the real rulers
The populous must always be fooled so that power can prevail unseen and undistrubt.
Or who is so naive to think that the president has something to decide or that we have Democracy 😂
I learn more about Japan's history from this channel than anywhere else
Same! This is so much better than my local library!
That’s goodl
Me too!!! Love you Shogo!! From Colorado, USA!!
You should check out The Shogunate on TH-cam. He does very detailed videos on Samurai and Bushi history.
@@outboundflight4455 thanks, man!
When the Portuguese got to Japan, they compared the Emperor and the Shogun to the King and the Pope.
Emperor's more like the Pope (religious authority) & Shogun (kings) with military might. But both wielded their political power in a delicate dance, just like the Popes & kings/ emperors of Europe did. This power struggle is still continuing on our backward planet.
That is a great comparison.
pope can actually tell a king what to do
@@Japan-sc7tg Yes and no. Some kings actually “respectfully” told the pope they wouldn’t fulfill his request. This is one of the reasons why there were multiple crusades. Not all kings devoted themselves or their armies to the cause. For the most part, they listened because it would’ve been bad publicity among the nobles to not do so.
@@StockyDudesure but the pope's power is still far greater than a japanese emperor, the shogun kept the emperors as puppets the pope at least had a great deal of political influence
I love finding out about Japan's history and Culture, an your videos are always very informative and entertaining. One day I will get to visit Kyoto & Tokyo ^_^
Thank you for leaving a comment!
I'm very glad you say so, I'm looking forward to the time you come to Kyoto✨
"What were the americans doing in the 1800's around ja-"
Shogo: oil
"Checks out"
👏👏👏
Muricans have successfully brought freedom and democracy in Japan without firing a shot. 🤣 🤞
Then problems came when they decided to advertise their customers to tour in feudal Japan
1800’s oil, hahaha. The only oil people were using in 1800’s was whale oil.
Not oil but similar.... Coal
I'm learning more Japanese history here than with any other history videos
ありがとうございます。
unrelated to the content (great as usual), but I really appreciate your consistency in wearing kimono! let's make kimono-wearing normal again! :)
You should do a whole episode on the Boshin War, the epsiode on the Shinsengumi touched on this War, but its a very interesting period in Japans history. I would also like to see an episode on the real "Last Samurai" Saigo Takamori, who fought in the Boshin War, and there are several legends that say after being badly injured in the hip he asked a friend (Beppu Shinsuke) to assist him in Seppuku, its also said that he fled to Russia, ascended to Mars, and his image was on a Comet.
🤣🍌
@پیاده نظام خان never said it did, you cannot read
Thank you for the explanation. I have always wondered why in the warring eras, the shogun never overthrow the emperor. Compare to the Chinese dynasties, where the emperor can be dethroned/killed, and a completely new person becomes the new emperor. But in Japan, the shogunate usually just control the imperial court, and not overthrow them. I thought that was interesting.
Because the religion is different. Japan's emperor must be the decendant of gods, but Chinese emperor is whoever controls the middle kindom.
yeah, its simply just different... the Japanese emperors claim to be the descendants of God. Cant be eliminated.
However Chinese emperors claimed to have mandate of heaven to rule the country not as Gods descendants.. when the mandate of heaven was seen not in their dynasty, then the dynasty must be changed as they were not relevant anymore. The signs of mandate of heaven had left the dynasty were prolong drought, flooding in the rivers, disasters, famine, government corruption, and great war. This were seen when Han, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing fell.
When an East Asian empire decided to drop the Mandate of Heaven for Divine Continuation
@@shinsenshogun900
Han dynasty during Dong and Cao era
Goryeo in mid 13th century
Vietnam pre Nguyen
The Shogunate did dethrone the Emperor during Sengoku Era, they just replaced the Emperor with younger Emperor descendant that they can control while the old Emperor ended up as a monk.
Excellent video. Thank you for this History lesson. ありがとうございます.
Finally, an overall picture that explains the relationships clearly. Thank you!
This video is awesome and easy to understand Japanese History!!
Thank you for summarizing these difficult concepts!!
That was a great video! There's plenty of Japan-related content on TH-cam, but most of it is aimed at otaku, potential tourists or guys who want to pick up Japanese women. I'm glad to have found a channel that discusses other aspects of Japanese culture in such an insightful and intelligent manner. Good luck with getting your first million subscribers!
This video essay was so well-done. You are a great speaker. Look forward to bingeing through more of your great work. :)
Thanks Shojo. This video helped me understand a few questions about Japanese history and the power play between the Emperor and Shogun. Very very interesting!
Awesome video, I took a world history class in uni and they touched on japanese history only briefly, glad I found this channel because I wanted to learn more
Brilliant video, succinct + well informed. Well explained + extremely broad. Really appreciate this one, amazing!!
Wonderful video. Well presented and easy to follow. Thank you for helping to increase our knowledge.
Thank you for this amazing video!!!! Every time I tried to study some basic things about Japan's history it seemed soooooo chaotic and I ended up without understand anything!!! I accidentally found your video and it is so to-the-point that I finally understood what's happening 😊🥳 Thank you again, you do such a great job!!!!
Wow!! Thank you so much for this video! Now I can finally understand better the actual role of samurai and how they started. :D The way you present the historical facts is super detailed and easy to understand!
Thank you for the video. I've been wondering about this topic for a long time and finally I've got my answers.
I'm so happy I found this channel! So much interesting information! Thank you!
Very helpful! I like the way you explain because it's very easy to understand
excellent class sensei . cleared up a lot of misunderstanding and learned some history along the way
Shogo is such a cool dude man. So humble and knowledgeable, but stands firm on his principles, traditions and beliefs. Not sure if you will see this new comment on this old video, but I (and I’m pretty sure many many others as well) are super grateful for your passion and willingness to teach us the very broad and intricate details and nuances about Japan. Keep striving brother. You have something really really awesome going. Much love, all the way from Sacramento California USA. Peace ☮️
I had to subscribe, because I love history. Learning history will help you not make the same mistakes in the past and ensures a brighter future.
Thank you for an excellent video!
Beautiful! I learnt alot. Thank you!
Your channel is golden man , really good vídeos, greetings from Brasil 😁
Learned a lot once again. Thank you Shogo!
Nice, very clear explanation thanks
Fantastic video, thank you!
Thank you for the information!!
This is a good educational and information video. Thank you and keep it up!
Very very interesting. I do not know anything else about the history of Japan besides what you taught me in this video.
What an amazing channel! So informative.
Such an interesting video…your videos are excellent…keep up the great work
Thank you for your educational and entertaining videos of Japanese culture and history. Although I’ve read about the country it’s nice to have a native Japanese stating and clarifying historical and cultural details. Keep up the good work! ❤️🇵🇭❤️
Thanks Shogo. Very informative.
What a lovely video! Knowing more about Japanese Architecture would be great!
Great video, very informative
Thorough, rich in content, entertaining thank you
Very informative… Learned so much about Japan’s history in a single video
very clear explanation..easy to understand and not boring..domo arigathanks...
Great video! I like your views on history. I want to see more videos like this.
dude you could also make some vlogs visiting some famous kyoto spots(ofc depending on the pandemic in your area) would be cool
This video is so underrated! It was very interesting
I have learned a lot today, thank you. You have earned a subscriber.
Amazing, I’ve always been curious about Asian’s history. It’s great that many people know about their country’s history. Sadly not all Asian are that fortunate about the knowledge of their tribe or race history.
I’m from a small Asian tribe that was enslaved by the Ming dynasty’s empire a long time ago. My ancestors had to fled to Laos 🇱🇦 from slavery then migrated to Thailand during WW2.
To this day many of us still don’t know about our true roots and which area we were originally from. We are one of the Asian bloodline that does not have a country and have spread across the globe after WW2.
But I love your videos! Keep it up 👍
A piece of Japanese history, nicely presented. 👍🏯
Would love a video about restaurant etiquette and possibly kaiseki etiquette. Seems like your etiquette videos perform very well.
thankyou for a very educational video very interesting
Hello Shogo, a very interesting and informative video. I enjoyed listening about Japan's history. Have you ever considered lending your voice to create audio books? Perhaps your voice can be used in different literary venues, such as historical, cultural, and other Japanese themed literature.
Although I do know some of the facts you mentioned, it's still pretty interesting, keep it up, Shogo :)
Thank my friend from America I learn so much from you for history class you have given me many good grades may you stay prosperous
very helpful thank you
amazing videos. Good job

Ah, I figured out why: my husband and brother are bingeing the series Shogun. My phone heard 😂
thank u~ i learnt soo much!!!!!
Thank you so much for this video. What you think doing a vídeo about the tree ancient treasures of Japan?
This is great! Thank you!
I know it's a little late because it already passed but would you be able to talk about the History of Golden Week, most importantly Boy's Day and Girl's Day? It would be really nice to know the background of these holidays
This is good one its very to interesting to know boshin war..thanks
Thank you for this video! I was waiting for it and as always it was very informative and fun! I am so glad I discovered your channel and got to see it grow so fast! Wish you and your family all the best :)
I remember that around 1 and a half ago I first saw this channel, so happy to see its roots:)
Great video, Shogo!!!!
The questions that i seeked for years, answered in just 30 minutes.
Thanks for an excellent video ❤
nice video, Shogo-kun :)
keep up the good work.
Hey @Letsaskshogo it would be awesome if you could do a video on how you probably clean and sharpen your katana. As someone who recently gotten into japanese culture more seriously, and your channel is the most informative among others it would be great if one day you could educate us on this particular topic.
Great video.
Shogo , you prepared a whole pdf presentation like in University , I am pretty impressed by your hard work and research , thank you .
subbed :) great work, I loved it
Hi Shogo. I just discovered your channel and I love it, I really appreciate all the information you provide.
I just wanted to mention that, in watching your videos, I've noticed a very strong hissing noise whenever you pronounce the letter S. It's very loud and actually slightly painful to hear. I don't know if it's due to your microphone, maybe a "dead cat windscreen" would help muffle it?
Just thought you might want to know, since fixing this will only help in your goal to get one million sucscribers by Jan 2023. I wish you all the best in this endeavor, and hope you continue to release many more enjoyable and informative videos!
Great channel
Thank you for all your educational videos They are perfect for my at home/make shift Japanese University 😂😂😂 ありがとうございますした。
Thanks man I understood everything
I heard also that Emishi horsemen who defected to the Yamato side during their conflict, played a part in the development of good military tactics for the Yamato army. Do you think that these warriors and the ones you mentioned, the Bushi who were the land governers, kind've combined tactics, and this combination of tactics would be the prototype for Samurai?
Merci, Camarade Shogo. Grâce à vous, vous avez réussi à me faire comprendre, en une seule et unique vidéo, des siècles d’histoire du Japon.
Grand merci pour votre pédagogie et votre sens de la synthèse et de l’organisation.
Vous me rappelez un de mes très estimés professeurs : Mister Kensaku Nomoto, de qui vient le profond respect que j’éprouve aujourd’hui pour le Japon, les Japonais et leur culture.
Bonne continuation.
From : West Africa (Senegal 🇸🇳).
Shogun like minister of defence? I'm just starting to watch :) Love your video's
You answered so many questions I had about your contry's history :) I really began having an interest after playing Shogun 2 (fall of the samurai). Its so interesting to hear about the rise and fall of the Samurai and i especially enjoy your 3 reasons for not killing the emperor back when The Shogunate was strong. Thank you very much :) Kind regards from Denmark
Thank you for this...
Another great content. I always wanted to know why the sogun did not defeat the emperor. Thank you.
Very interesting👌
Ma boy at it again with an excellent video 🙂🙂
Ofcourse he does :)

Great vid
Very good channel. Can you please make a video about the Battle of Sekigahara, or perhaps a museum about Battle of Sekigahara.
And can you explain in more detail one part of the samurai armor " MANPO ". Thanks. Best Regards.
Very interesting, thank you, Japan is my dream country to visit/work, sadly I always rejected when I am applying at many agencies 😅
Thanks a lot, very great and accessible content.
I got two questions, what would be the best history books you'd recommend in English ? The university basis for example.
Another question, you said Kohli and Nihon-shoki were still believed to be the true origin of Japan birth. I guess though reading someone such as Yukichi Fukuzawa that there is also a major criticism of Japans beliefs since Meiji era ; what do you think of that ?
Thanks a lot for your content.
Great video. A question. How do you grade the historical accuracy of the Shogun 1980 TV miniseries?
Thank u so much 💓
I swear when Shogo say about Izanagi and Izanami, I remember a book of mine which also explains that too although not as detailed as Shogo's explanation and I was in the middle of doing absolutely nothing when I search for the book looking for the exact pages because I buy that book many years ago.. ^^ found the same info about Japan from two different source like this is such a pure joy of mine.. ( BTW the book is actually called "Why? ; Japan Edition, page 23. )
Shogo-san! I love your videos. Can you please tell me the names and artists of the background music soundtracks in this video? I just like them ☺️. 教えてくださってありがとうございます。
Excellent as always Shogo San, thanks for your work. 🙇🏻
I have just seeing Battosai on Netflix - so this is a great video to cover up the conflict
Fascinating lesson on Japanese history
The Japanese system has been more stable than the Chinese imperial system precisely because of the separation of head of state and head(s) of military
