46:56 “Japan takes its first baby step to that era of history that everyone loves to read about but noone would actually want to live through.” I love this line so much. Humanity has a terrible habits of romanticizing chaos and feel that those times like Sengoku Jidai, Three Kingdoms, Napoleonic Wars, World War I, World War II, Vietnam War were “fun” just by looking through the lens of games, movies and shows.
Not quite. Studiyng about peace times is boring since its just politics ( very ofthen whit not that much drama ) and war time is interesting because its ever changing and inpredictable. There is a reason why the more popular films have some type of action in them.
Remembering that the anime adaptation of the manga The Elusive Samurai (loosely about Tokiyuki) is airing this month. Rare moment where the late Kamakura/early Muromachi period get some attention from this type of media.
Fascinating how Takauji saw himself as Yoritomos' successor which makes sense since they were roughly from the same Minamoto lineage but handing over administrative control of the Ashikaga Bakufu to his brother was the beginning of the schism with the Ko brothers as an added issue. I must say, Takauji was quite an emotional man, he did want a world full of peace and had shrines built in provinces to pray for that peace but his biggest weakness was allowing for his own bakufu to nearly collapse in its infancy due to politcal isssues spurred by infighting by being unable to draw lines where they should've been as the military leader.
Yeah, Takauji is one of my favorite people in Japanese history, and a big reason for that is his moody indecisiveness. Even 600+ years later, he still feels so human and relatable.
thats why seems like he should've pulled Yoritomo and Yoshitoki aka silently illiminating people to make the government stable.... but its not to his character so
Finally we arrived at Muromachi. A special video for the Northern and Southern Court battles, involving figures like Kusunoki Masashige and Kitabatake Akiie, would be just as cool as the Genpei War was. Either way, it was a great video for the first part of the Ashikaga Age.
I agree! It was hard not to include more of the legends about Masashige, Yoshisada, etc. but... They barely appear in standard textbooks/study supplement books, so, in the spirit of the series, I decided to cut them. I definitely want to cover them in depth at some point in the future!
For someone who is hella methodical and woefully meticulous in most of his studious endeavours, this series is seriously great. Im a bit focussed on other topics of study atm, but I know that in due time these videos will be of even more use to me than they are now. So thanks :)
At last you have reached Nanbokucho period and getting closer to the period that we all love -but would die within seconds if timetravelled threre- Cant wait for it as well as more detailed vid on Nanbokucho (like you did Genpei war)
Yoooo I thought you died. It’s been like 2 months lmaoo. I hope you keep up the content cuz this channel has huge potential. Your videos about sushi and off topic history are also fantastic.
Thank you for this amusing but serious way to explain Japanese history, from an Italian who is studying Japanese and Japanese history on her own. Glad that the references are real Japanese textbooks too. Waiting for the Sengoku Jidai
Yet another stellar production and dare I say "God given" given the release date 😉 The Nanboku-cho period is one of favorites. Kusunoki Masashige will forever be one of my tippy top tier warriors. Loyal and ready to die for his Emperor even when said emperor is a fool 😭 RIP Masashige. Always appreciate you brother and the hard work you put into your work 🙏🏾You're an inspiration and definitely give me an intellectual kick to the noggin to continue with mine own project 🤜🏾🤛🏻
Haha good point. The timing was totally unplanned! Masashige doesn't get much love in the (modern) school history textbooks, so I had to cut him from this one, but I hope to do a more dedicated video either on him or on the early Nanbokucho wars at some point in the future. His is a fascinating story. I hope your project is continuing to advance smoothly!
@@BuyuudenJapaneseHistory I'm sure Masashige's importance in modern Japan had to be diminished in order to adhere to the conditions of their surrender and the "humanization" of the Imperial Family. I'll definitely be front and center for any production you make to do him and that tumultuous period some well deserved justice. I have a 10day vacation from work and another birthday coming, so I plan on really digging into my work!
i found your channel yesterday and have caught up with this series already, Keep up the great work, its always inspiring to see people being very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the topic they discuss!
This video is simply AMAZING. I'm trying to do some research about japanese history to write my oc who's from this era, and this singular video genuinly provided SO much informations it's incredible. I'm so glad i found this channel !
久しぶりAdamさん元気ですか、動画が相変わらず面白かった！it was really fun to learn about the 南北朝時代I knew how it ended but hearing the details was really interesting お疲れ様でした！記憶術も好きでした
I know you invested a good deal of time into the wonderful long form, on-location War in the North video (I just started watching it, but decided to finish this last episode of the main history series before enjoying it fully), but I wanted to say again how much I love this history series, how excellent and unique and valuable it is for anyone outside of Japan who has an interest in Japanese history... and how much I'm looking forward to future episodes, after I finish this and the War in the North video, probably both today. The History of Sushi video was great too, as was the Revenge of the Soga Brothers... I'm sure I will watch the Tales of Horror video and the Genpei War Leader Evaluation videos soon too, and anything else on your channel I haven't gotten to. In short... I absolutely love the videos you make; and I very much hope that many more people will discover this wonderful series you've been making the last few years, as it really is the best stuff on TH-cam about this subject that I've encountered. I've watched something specifically about the Sengoku Period, probably from the Shogunate, but I've learned soooooo much more from this series about Japanese history than from any other source, period, and your presentation, and editing, and narration, and choice and use of artwork (and most recently, filming of real life Japan for the War in the North video!), have all been just spectacular from the start of this series... I wish you as much success with this as possible, and will be eagerly awaiting more of this series, and whatever else you choose to make for this channel in the future. Thank you so much for this channel.
Thank you. This comment means a lot. Things have been hectic lately and video making has taken a bit of a back seat, but I will do my best to keep chipping away at the next project. I appreciate you very much!
Its been a while since I read up on this, but some time following Emperor Hirohito's official surrender to the United States, ending World War 2, there was a pretender to the Imperial Throne who also came forward and accused Hirohito of being illegitimate using the same line of argument: that Hirohito was a descendant of the Northern Court, and the pretender himself was a descendant of the Southern Court. He apparently produced all kinds of documentation proving this, and from my memory, post-war Japanese authorities of the time actually managed to verify the authenticity of most of it. But the authorities used the same line reasoning that they did in the Meiji era: The Southern Court was legitimate until it suddenly wasn't, and that Hirohito possessed the treasures and the pretender didn't.
Just to add a bit more context to the Meiji-Early Showa court legitimacy debate: when the imperial ideology swept Japan, nationalists pushed for the erasure of the Northern Court (not even recognized as a court) or any mention of it from school books (there could have been only one divine tenno) and censured great historians (like Tanaka Yoshinari) who had to censure themselves or even quit their position at university, we didn't even have a good 14th century study before 1945.
And on Easter Monday, no less. Man, I enjoyed this one. It would have been more enjoyable (for me), had it all been in Japanese. Still, acknowledging that I can't have everything, I am content with this release. Happy Easter, and Arigatou gozaimasu!
I love hearing the many aspects of your history videos. Often, many other channels neglect cultural and religious elements. I also love the frequent stories and folklore weaved in. I really hope there is a part 2 in the works!
I've been waiting patiently for this time period, yay! I'm so thankful for your attention to research and detail, and you don't make things flashy to make it "interesting"; you're one of my favorite history channels for this. Good job!
Hello sir... I'm sorry but I think it's time for a new episode 😆✌️ Can't wait! I binged watch all episodes. Thank you so much for your efforts on making the videos and teaching everyone..
it's good to hear u still working on this serie. im a Chinese student, but can't find anything about jp history lesson on our social media. so rl appreciate ur hardwork, it rl helps a lot in my preparation for the exam of postgraduate degree. looking forward to new episode!❤@@BuyuudenJapaneseHistory
I have to say the work you put into these is really impressive. It might seem overwhelming with the sheer number of terms and names, but you always do a great job explaining things so it's never an issue. I can't wait to see what lies in the future - I know a bit about the Warring States period itself, but not the leadup so this is all new to me.
Thank you! That makes all the effort worth it. Yeah, the Sengoku Period often gets kind of discussed in a bubble, so I'm glad to be able to talk about the preceding centuries a bit here.
Wow I just found your channel! Started playing Total War Shogun2 and I Was so invested into learning the history of Japan!. I binged watched your series! Hopefully we get a new sengoku period video soon!
I hope at some point you care to go into more detail on Ashikaga Takauji & Ashikaga Tadayoshi's military conquests as you mentioned at 18:45. Takauji is one of my favourite characters in Japanese history for some of the reasons you have mentioned in this video, the fact that he was conflicted when going against the Emperor is interesting, and his brothers part in his success is often understated. I think the brothers are somewhat under celebrated considering the amount of influence they had. I would love to hear more about him as I don't think there are many videos going into detail about him on TH-cam.
I feel like I say this wishfully about a lot of topics, but I really do want to do a video on that subject eventually! I agree that Takauji is a fascinating guy -- his quirky human-ness makes him one of the most interesting samurai for me as well.
The amount of people suddenly dying of disease at the height of their power is pretty suspicious. Especially when it's the other side of a conflict claiming someone died of disease so they didnt have to actually give out capital punishment.
I'd say the Kanno Disturbance has received some work in recent years but from the time of Takaujis passing to the start of Yoshimitsus reign as seii-taishogun which is a good amount of the Nanboku-cho jidai, there isn't much covered.
I'm currently in the research stages for a video on the Former Nine Years and Later Three Years wars, so Muromachi pt. 2 will definitely happen but probably not for a few months. Sorry to keep you waiting!
Hearing about Go-Daigo's very obvious, avoidable governmental failures during the Kenmu Restoration is just painful, even if all these autocrats suck. Like seriously man, acknowledge reality dude. If maybe he relented in his stubbornness, understood his limits, and met the bushi where they were at, maybe Takauji would never have rebelled. Maybe then, Japan could have found peace centuries earlier, and peoples' lives could have been vastly improved in that time.
I believe there's a Taiga Drama (called "Taiheiki") all about him! It might be a bit hard to find on the internet, but I'm sure it's out there with subtitles on some shady website or another (haha)
Getting confused vy the dates on the screen and the narrative is supposed to be about the Time between (1336-1573) I understand the desire to date art work. but us very small print pleae????
I am sure the idea of appointing powerful warrior clans as province overseers, giving them judicial powers and letting them keep all the taxes would lead to stable and prosperous country!
I have to disagree with something here. We mostly know Yoshimitsu from the tekken character who had the same name and some point we wondered if anyone else had that awesome name (true story... most of my friends learnt about the actual historical yoshimitsu because of that).
I guess I really shouldn't be surprised by this but... Japan still has a royal family?! I'm so curious as to how their modern day position, status, and social duties compares to those of western royal families. Have they gaslit the public to a similar extent? 😉
46:56 “Japan takes its first baby step to that era of history that everyone loves to read about but noone would actually want to live through.”
I love this line so much. Humanity has a terrible habits of romanticizing chaos and feel that those times like Sengoku Jidai, Three Kingdoms, Napoleonic Wars, World War I, World War II, Vietnam War were “fun” just by looking through the lens of games, movies and shows.
Not quite.
Studiyng about peace times is boring since its just politics ( very ofthen whit not that much drama ) and war time is interesting because its ever changing and inpredictable. There is a reason why the more popular films have some type of action in them.
I feel that the Kenmu Restoration and the chaotic transition to the Ashikaga Shogunate is often very overlooked.
It’s a really exciting period that definitely deserves more attention
Remembering that the anime adaptation of the manga The Elusive Samurai (loosely about Tokiyuki) is airing this month. Rare moment where the late Kamakura/early Muromachi period get some attention from this type of media.
And they have turned ma boi takauji into a demon
Haven't looke anime for months
good to know what anime I will look when I watch anime again 😂
Go Daigo : You have helped restored the Imperial family sovereignity!
Ashikaga : Oh I wouldn't say restored, more like under new management!
Fascinating how Takauji saw himself as Yoritomos' successor which makes sense since they were roughly from the same Minamoto lineage but handing over administrative control of the Ashikaga Bakufu to his brother was the beginning of the schism with the Ko brothers as an added issue.
I must say, Takauji was quite an emotional man, he did want a world full of peace and had shrines built in provinces to pray for that peace but his biggest weakness was allowing for his own bakufu to nearly collapse in its infancy due to politcal isssues spurred by infighting by being unable to draw lines where they should've been as the military leader.
Yeah, Takauji is one of my favorite people in Japanese history, and a big reason for that is his moody indecisiveness. Even 600+ years later, he still feels so human and relatable.
thats why seems like he should've pulled Yoritomo and Yoshitoki aka silently illiminating people to make the government stable.... but its not to his character so
* Dancing to the intro music *
Makes me think of osrs tbh
Slaps
This is one of the most underrated channels of history
Finally we arrived at Muromachi. A special video for the Northern and Southern Court battles, involving figures like Kusunoki Masashige and Kitabatake Akiie, would be just as cool as the Genpei War was. Either way, it was a great video for the first part of the Ashikaga Age.

The videos will be here waiting for you!
At last you have reached Nanbokucho period and getting closer to the period that we all love -but would die within seconds if timetravelled threre-
Cant wait for it as well as more detailed vid on Nanbokucho (like you did Genpei war)
I definitely want to do that someday! I couldn't really do the story justice within the framework of this "textbook" series.
Yoooo I thought you died. It’s been like 2 months lmaoo. I hope you keep up the content cuz this channel has huge potential. Your videos about sushi and off topic history are also fantastic.
Not dead, just slow 😅 These videos legit take me a really long time though!
Videos like this aren't cranked out in a week. Research, scripting, and editing takes time. Videos dont materialize out of thin air my dude.
Thank you for this amusing but serious way to explain Japanese history, from an Italian who is studying Japanese and Japanese history on her own. Glad that the references are real Japanese textbooks too.
Waiting for the Sengoku Jidai

ご無沙汰しています！Thanks as always for supporting the channel! I'm glad you liked the mnemonic 😁
Thank you for your hard work!
Gee, I hope that the emperor is able to keep Japan stable and under his total control forever...
What do you mean Sengoku Era?
The half-tax system? The disappearance of public lands?
_WHAT KIND OF PLACE IS THIS?!_

Glad to see another video I’m infatuated with Japanese history now thanks to these vids 👍
Please finish this! Such a good series!!
this is really nice! i hope you cover the entire history of this beautiful nation like this!

I'm super perfectionistic when I write in Japanese, so it probably would have taken an additional 6 months or so had I gone that route haha
new Byuuden Japanese History video ‼
I love hearing the many aspects of your history videos. Often, many other channels neglect cultural and religious elements. I also love the frequent stories and folklore weaved in. I really hope there is a part 2 in the works!

I'm at a loss for words to describe how much I enjoyed this video. thank you
Your videos are so great! I'm looking forward to your next video.
Your videos are literal life savers for me to study, you're definitely the GOAT for japanese history videos 🙏
Tysm for all your work !
Pleasee continue this series❤
Hello sir... I'm sorry but I think it's time for a new episode 😆✌️ Can't wait! I binged watch all episodes. Thank you so much for your efforts on making the videos and teaching everyone..
I hope to get the next one out over the holiday season! My main job has been crushing my spirit lately... 😩

I've got a few side videos lined up for my next few uploads, but I should be back to the main series in a couple months!
Wonderful! 😍 I've been waiting eagerly for this!
I'm gonna need to watch it a couple of times though - there's a lot going on...
Beautifully done, as always. Looking forward to the next.
Nice. Well presented.
Wow I just found your channel! Started playing Total War Shogun2 and I Was so invested into learning the history of Japan!. I binged watched your series! Hopefully we get a new sengoku period video soon!
I'm really enjoying this series! Thank you!
Thanks for covering the Muromachi Bakufu in detail!
I've learned about it from The Shogunate, but it didn't cover all of it.
Love this series, cant wait for the next episode. Would love more deep dives on specific wars like the former 9 later 3, genko, and onin wars!!
Former Nine and Later Three will be coming soon! I've just about finished the script.
When is part 2 coming out???
I hope at some point you care to go into more detail on Ashikaga Takauji & Ashikaga Tadayoshi's military conquests as you mentioned at 18:45.

Where is the part 2? Don’t stop.
Another enjoyable video!
The amount of people suddenly dying of disease at the height of their power is pretty suspicious. Especially when it's the other side of a conflict claiming someone died of disease so they didnt have to actually give out capital punishment.
A period in Japanese History that doesn't get nearly enough elaboration on :p
I'd say the Kanno Disturbance has received some work in recent years but from the time of Takaujis passing to the start of Yoshimitsus reign as seii-taishogun which is a good amount of the Nanboku-cho jidai, there isn't much covered.
Nervously sweating over here...
Is there a Muromachi Period part 2 coming up?
I'm currently in the research stages for a video on the Former Nine Years and Later Three Years wars, so Muromachi pt. 2 will definitely happen but probably not for a few months. Sorry to keep you waiting!
Leave it to the Japanese to have the most wordy aristocratic version of graffiti known to history.
Great video! How would you rate Ashikaga Yoshmitsu as a leader and how do people view him today?
I must know that intro song
Nice
is there interest in still doing the muromachi parts, Azuchi-Momoyama and the Eedo ?
Hearing about Go-Daigo's very obvious, avoidable governmental failures during the Kenmu Restoration is just painful, even if all these autocrats suck. Like seriously man, acknowledge reality dude. If maybe he relented in his stubbornness, understood his limits, and met the bushi where they were at, maybe Takauji would never have rebelled. Maybe then, Japan could have found peace centuries earlier, and peoples' lives could have been vastly improved in that time.
"The era everyone loves to read about but no one wants to live in, the Sengoku Era."
Me: Yeah, forget that noise.😂
Any works based of Takauji?
He's a fascinating character.
I believe there's a Taiga Drama (called "Taiheiki") all about him! It might be a bit hard to find on the internet, but I'm sure it's out there with subtitles on some shady website or another (haha)
Getting confused vy the dates on the screen and the narrative is supposed to be about the Time between (1336-1573) I understand the desire to date art work. but us very small print pleae????
I am sure the idea of appointing powerful warrior clans as province overseers, giving them judicial powers and letting them keep all the taxes would lead to stable and prosperous country!
Fuck yes!
Can anyone help me out with the name of the intro track?
It's an original beat that samples the theme song from Lone Wolf and Cub. Here's the full beat: th-cam.com/video/6WPxNzWHVeM/w-d-xo.html
Can anybody please let me know why the playlist stops at video number 15 ? Were is the rest ? 😳
Please help - can NOT find the part 2 for this
Please share link
Cheers
where next episode?
I have to disagree with something here. We mostly know Yoshimitsu from the tekken character who had the same name and some point we wondered if anyone else had that awesome name (true story... most of my friends learnt about the actual historical yoshimitsu because of that).
Now that you mention it that was probably also the first place that a 7-ish year-old me ever heard the name too
❤❤❤😊😊
the whole nation changed when lady eboshi attacked
WHERE'S KITABATAKE??
still moping over his handsome son's corpse rotting somewhere in Izumi
Too bad this series seems to have died. I have an exam in a few days covering from kamakura till present, and these vids would have been great😢
I guess I really shouldn't be surprised by this but... Japan still has a royal family?! I'm so curious as to how their modern day position, status, and social duties compares to those of western royal families. Have they gaslit the public to a similar extent? 😉
学ばねえなこいつらとお思いでしょうけどこれが彼らのビジネスモデルでして
