The Great Shogun - The Story of Tokugawa Ieyasu - History of Japan

Tokugawa Ieyasu (1543-1616) was one of the most important shoguns in the history of Japan. The founder of the Tokugawa shogunate, he completed the unification of the country after years of internal conflicts. His victory at the Battle of Sekigahara in 1600 was crucial in consolidating his power. Ieyasu established a centralized government in Edo (present-day Tokyo), promoting peace and stability that lasted for over 250 years, known as the Edo period.

For a group of people romanticised for their honour, they sure betrayed each other a lot.

Moral of the story: Give a child a good education and an understanding of the world around him and he will make a great impact.

Excellently done. Historically factual which is rare for a lot of YouTube videos. I like your way of presentation. I will be subscribing.

For anyone old enough to remember the book Shogun or maybe the PBS series on it, this is the man that Toronaga was based on.

I was looking for videos explaining this whole deal behind the Shogun series and none did it as good as this. It's the art that you incoporated that made the explanation way more dynamic and captured my attention. The other videos seemed like the person, while well intentioned, was reading a wikipedia article to me.

"I have lived and fought through many wars...witnessed their results... The foulest of all being how they sever the bonds that unite us. It is time I changed that. I stand unarmed to offer a challenge. So that we, from here forth, may never again fight our brothers!"

famous shoguns
Minamoto no Yoritomo
Minamoto no Yoritomo is largely considered to be the first shogun in Japan’s history. He earned the title of shogun and all of its power after defeating the rival Taira clan in the Genpei War.
He was the first to turn the title of shogun into a political system called the shogunate. His version of the shogunate included an all-powerful shogun, private samurai armies who held some power, and an emperor who served as a figurehead.
Yoritomo’s version of the shogunate would continue relatively unchanged until the 1800s. He based his new government in Kamakura. The Kamakura period lasted from 1192 to 1333.

Ashikaga Takauji
Ashikaga Takauji was the first shogun of the Ashikaga clan. His reign from 1336 to 1358 marks the start of the Muromachi period. This shogun is remembered as being brave, merciful, and generous.
He served as the general of the Kamakura shogunate until he decided to join Emperor Go-Daigo in his fight for the throne. After much conflict, Takauji gave himself the title of shogun.
He installed a Northern Court emperor in opposition to the Southern Court that existed during this time and set off a conflict that would continue for almost 60 years. This Northern and Southern Court Period would come to an end with Takauji’s son.

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu
The second Ashikaga shogun was Ashikaga Yoshimitsu. He ruled from 1368 to 1394 and became shogun at age ten. Yoshimitsu was the third son of Takauji but was the oldest to survive.
He is credited with resolving the conflicts of the Northern and Southern Courts Period, which had plagued Japan for nearly 60 years.
Yoshimitsu established his shogunate headquarters along the Muromachi Road. The period of the Ashikaga shogunate is also called the Muromachi period as a result.
Yoshimitsu improved relations with Ming China, and the culture of China flourished in Japan. Japanese economics, architecture, and writing were all influenced by Chinese culture during this time.
In addition to his interest in China, Yoshimitsu was a patron of the newly developed Noh theater. He retired in 1394 but continued to control the shogunate until his death at age 50.

Shoguns were hereditary military leaders who were technically appointed by the emperor. However, real power rested with the shoguns themselves, who worked closely with other classes in Japanese society. Shoguns worked with civil servants, who would administer programs such as taxes and trade.
