Mariko and Lady Ochiba Have an Intense Discussion Before Mariko's Death Shogun Episode 9

[iyi]

2:57 This line of Mariko is a quote from the farewell poem of Hosokawa Gracia, who is said to be the model for Mariko. This old farewell poem, which is more than 400 years old, is still loved by many Japan people living in the present day. This farewell poem beautifully explains why Japan people have loved the fall of cherry blossoms since ancient times. I would like to write down here the farewell poem that Hosokawa Gracia left in this world.

『散りぬべき時知りてこそ 世の中の花も花なれ人も人なれ（Flowers are beautiful because they know when they should fall. People should be like that.）』

[shinyay]

Only by knowing when to fall
Do flowers become flowers
And people become people

　　 - Hosokawa Gracia (1563-1600)

This is the only Time Ochiba using her REAL voice to talk to someone. Normally she use a high pitch calm whispery voice which is make her scary "unhuman". The voice here was very human

This scene gave me chills. I felt how much they cared for each other even though they are now enemies

I like how Anjin was like 2:40 alright deuces.

Seems like there’s still some affection there between them even if their paths have diverged.

So mariko knew she was going to die because there was no way they were letting her leave the castle right? That conversation was their goodbye to each other?

I enjoyed the mini-series with Richard Chamberlain which aired back in the 80's, but from the clips that I have seen, this is on another level.

花は散るがゆえに花なのでございます。

散りぬべき時知りてこそ世の中の
花も花なれ人も人なれ

花は散り際を心得ているからこそ花は花なのでございます。
