@@Thrainite Oh I meant after them my bad on that but yes so thankful for the similarities in their names really just shows how committed Romans were with tradition
For years ive been looking for a comprehensive history of japan like this. Im only 8 minutes into this first video, and i already know i will watch this entire series 20+ times over. Thank you!!
Holy crap, the level of detail you go into in such a short timeframe is awe inspiring. I just love the style of the vids now. This’ll definitely help when watching the new Shogun series and I can’t wait to dive in more. 1 video in and you’re already one of the best history channel’s alongside people like oversimplified. Absolutely fantastic stuff.
How is this channel so under subbed, I have been hunting all day for decent informative, non dramatic, non glsmoriouzed, straight to the point, precise accurate documentary all day! And this is beyond what I hoped for!!!!! Fantastic video going to binge watch it all before I play Ghost of Tshiuminia on ps4 😁
Holy shit I've been searching on "Japanese history stories" couldn't find shit. Now this got in my recommended. This is exactly what I was looking for. That such a channel excist. Amazing. Didn't even start a video and Subscribed immidiently

4:42 on the Taika Reforms might want to examine the way in which the Taika Reforms may have been inspired by the Tang model, but incorporated many of the Silla and Baekje modifications to the Tang system too adapt it to a clan based society in which a weak kingship depended upon the support of strong clans, therefore participation in the Tang style bureaucracy was limited to members of the powerful Uji allied with the Yamato clan as a way to draw them into the system and encourage the heads of their households to move from the provinces to the capitol to vie for power withing the new Tang/Silla court aristocracy. This system of court ranks was used to encourage not only the loyalty of the heads of the powerful clans and remove them from their economic bases in the provinces, but also to give them a tool to control members of their cadet branches of their clans by providing them a tool to reward them with ranks in the lower echelons of the court bureaucracy and their own avenue to move from the provinces to the much more "civilized" capitol as well as getting their foot in the door for possible later promotion with in the bureaucracy. This was of course the same system of court appointments that the Heian Court was able to successfully use for quite some time to maintain control over the Bushi in the provinces, particularly those in the Kanto. William Wayne Ferris' "Heavenly Warriors" does and excellent job of putting the transition in the context of the evolving Ritsuryo military system through out the Heian to meet the changing military needs of the state. Ferris and Friday's works take a slightly different approach to examining the rise of the Bushi within the Ritsuryo military system to its eventual evolution into the Samurai class, but I think they are very complimentary in terms of providing a broader context for this evolution.
I am so excited to have found this site…….watched rurouini kenshen a couple years ago and and it inspired me to learn more about Japanese History…..unlike China and Korea history there is not as much……..watching that movie and other available history doc helped me understand what in the world did the Japanese think they could get by with bombing pearlharbor….I have always wondered…the loyalty to the shogun and how they were raised helped me understand …….although that era had ended in the late 1800’s. I feel that spirit was alive and well in some of the generals in www…..can’t wait to begin and Thank You so much!111111
What a channel! I consider myself well studied in world history. However, I do not know Japanese history as well as I should. This channel is changing this and I have learned so much thus far. I work in academia today and would like to share your work if I may. Well once we re-open and students begin flooding back in...
I like it. And i agree you are heavily under subbed for the amount of great content this one video has. If i may be somewhat critical, having names on screen of the important figures could be needed. i'm American and sometimes hearing the names once doesn't stick, so i had to constantly remind to hear them again. Really great work again.
4:50 description of the Chinese concept of land ownership by the Emperor under the Equal Field system and the challenges of its actual implementation (at least the periodic redistribution of land at the local level and the challenge of including newly converted farmland into the system after the original cadastral survey) as title/taxing/control over land in the provinces was one of the evolutionary changes in conjunction to and tied to changes in the Ritsuryo military system in Heian Jidai that undermined the power of the Heian Court - particularly the rise of Shoen (perhaps a topic for Episode 2) in the Central and Western provinces and the relatively large amount of land in the Kanto that fell outside of the original land survey and became the economic base of the Bushi in the East (particularly horse and cattle pastures as well as newly converted farm land). I haven't seen all of you videos yet, but I have seen all of "Setting the Stage" videos up through the Kamakura and the Kenmu Restoration and think that a bit more inclusion of the evolving nature and concepts of land ownership with it's relationship to the rise of the Bushi may add a valuable added dimension to your otherwise excellent analysis. I commend you on the degree to which you have been able to create an overall balance between the fine level of detail need to understand this topic, but the brevity need in order to make it a manageable project. I started to address the essay question on the rise of the Samurai class from the Bushi during the late Heian through early Muromachi in my doctoral comprehensive exams, but gave up after fill up three bluebooks when I realized I had only started to really lay to early foundations in Mid Heian and that I would end up having to fill 10 to 15 blue books at the rate I was going. Both Paul Varley's and Karl Friday's works on Medieval Japan offer a good analysis of the relationship between contested control of land at the provincial level as first the Shoen undermined the Heian Court's financial resources as well as creating the need for local private military forces hired by the proprietors of the Shoen.
This really seems to be similar to the development of the knight where conscript levy's where phased out for professional mounted warrior castes as central states grew weaker and local administrators gained power. For example france during charlemagne had a roman styled infantry however gavelkind succession led to weakening of the state apparatus needed for that and led his grandson martell of tours to formalize a more fuedal system.
Just found you! Been watching most recently posted videos but now to start at the beginning! I work in private kitchens and got sick of listening to music but love history. Especially Japanese feudal era! Thanks so much for all your work to create all this content. I value it so much. Ja mata!
@@bosesngnakaraan Your comment has me thinking I may want to do another watch of the series; after all, it's been about a year since I finished my rewatch! There are only a few channels with this kind of format (maps, narrative history over a period containing lots of battles and famous figures etc) that are actually good at it. And many times they're copycats and cover the same retread topics over and over and over. What makes this channel great is that he does a superb job covering a period that is rather neglected on youtube; at least compared to the most common "military history" periods. So if not for my own enjoyment I may just rewatch and comment on every video to placate the Almighty Algorithm! Cheers!
I started watching your channel. After your Netflix review. I was fascinated by the Netflix series because I didn’t know much about Japanese history and wanted to learn about it. Thanks for that insightful video
I like your channel. You put a lot of passion in all your videos and is a source of knowledge of the old Japan wich i like so much. Thanks for the work bro. And keep going you will get more subs lovers of the Japan´s history and culture.
Why did the Yamato want to drive back the Emishi in the first place? Simply to conquer the northern regions of Japan? Or did the Emishi pose an active threat to the empire?
7:24 If the Yamato had learned horseback warfare in Korea from Paekche, Silla, Koguryo (arguably the most dominant of the cavalry powers in the region at the time - having roundly defeated the forces of Sui China), then where did the Emishi learn and develop horseback technology? Is there any evidence to suggest that they may have had trade ties with Koguryo?
I personally feel the issue with the conscript army is that the conscripts themselves are already responsible for paying tax and local peculiarities to the court as well as the corvée. Adding military service on top could have been too much to bear from a work life balance point of view. You might also add that the Nara court forced peasants to “borrow” seeds and plant them for interest in kind payable to the exchequer-a forced loan. On the other hand I would like to point out that many uji may have had their own forces well before the Emishi became a problem. Look at the Monononobe and their ability to fight at a moment’s notice in 587; these may have been known as 部曲 in history but were theoretically confiscated under the kōchikōminsei. As important clans from the Soga, Mononobe, Abe, Heguri, Ōtomo etc. suggest in the Kofun period came to be known, the subjection of one clan to another was present in ancient Japan. The question in my view is how such subordinate clans emerge and see each other as part of the same caste in society and recognize their power in preference to the authority of the throne, which was recognized even by uji as powerful as the Soga of old. 😅
thank you the shogunte... very satisfactory... that you included the beginning of sharing of knowledge of japan korea china... the shared battles that harnessed each country warriors... there are 4 categories of classes developed and learned in ancient china... the ruling bodies classified as imperial families and nobilities, the commoners, the martial artists, the scholars/ philosophers, and spiritual learning/practice... it was when the ruling imperial families and nobilities became over the board exploitative that martial artists scholars philosophers and spiritual learners all shared one thought... this is wrong...!!! ... thus came the very beginning warriors in korea china and japan had spiritual learnings about the abstract life and the naked nature... wisdom values principles as learned and shared between the three categories: warriors, enlightened martial artists but not necessarily monks in temples... learned scholars... three categories that shared one thought: righteousness for families of farmers that vastly produce food/sustenance and workers in mines and other establishments of the imperial families and nobilities... it is how warriors in japan korea china are very anxious of principles and wisdom... RESPECT to every living being and nature... is the number one emphasized as number one MORAL IN LIFE by enlightened people... it was then later stages that enlightenment world of monks and martial artists is defined to be separate in the activities of the secular world... and the emergence of warriors... samurai in japan... korea goryeo warriors, china imperial soldiers... whatever called... note: martial artists aiming enlightenment together with enlightenment students became headache to the imperial/nobilities bcoz they refused to participate in imperial/nobilities programs... samurai warriors decided to have their own ruling body power separate from imperial/nobility power bcoz the imperial/nobility power classified warriors as imperial/nobility lowly servants... note that there is never a desire to eliminate the imperial families and their nobilities because the samurai warriors came from learning righteousness for every being...
It's interesting to think about the geography at play for all of this. Most countries develop around a center of power in a vaguely rectangular manner. But in Japan, that's just not possible. it's like they are almost missing an axis just because of the geography. Does this make any sense?
Hi! I was just wondering, why did the Yamato and Imperial Court not choose instead to have the Kanto warriors or clan conscripted warriors train their conscripted army instead? Would it be "offering" too much power to the clans?
I can understand and follow The Shogunate. Linfamy is quick and makes fun of things, places, and historical figures; even making up "easier" to say names. Overall, The Shogunate is actually informative. Linfamy butchers the topics. I watch these kind of videos to actually learn something, not watch a spoof cartoon.
Kon'nichiwa. The Shogunate, thank you for your efforts. May you and yours stay well and prosper. The music is a significant distraction. It is too loud and is of very poor quality. I cannot focus on the words being spoken. But, I would rather have your efforts, than not have them. Arigato.

Why did the Yamato want to drive back the Emishi in the first place? Simply to conquer the northern regions of Japan? Or did the Emishi pose an active threat to the empire?
Yeah besides the other videos about the history of Japan this is by far my number one besides the animation one by another youtuber
Love the vid and opening theme music.
The way the clans work reminds me of different governors in the Roman Republic. Interesting to see a similar yet different take on governance.
Just discovered this while trying to find a video on the taira. Nice work.

I personally feel the issue with the conscript army is that the conscripts themselves are already responsible for paying tax and local peculiarities to the court as well as the corvée. Adding military service on top could have been too much to bear from a work life balance point of view. You might also add that the Nara court forced peasants to “borrow” seeds and plant them for interest in kind payable to the exchequer-a forced loan.
On the other hand I would like to point out that many uji may have had their own forces well before the Emishi became a problem. Look at the Monononobe and their ability to fight at a moment’s notice in 587; these may have been known as 部曲 in history but were theoretically confiscated under the kōchikōminsei.
