Retell Japanese history in an epic manner. Reshape the legends of the Warring States, Meiji, Taisho, and Showa eras through a modern lens.
With the end of the cloistered rule, Japan entered a new era known as the "insei" system. This video delves into how retired emperors sidelined the reigning emperor to govern and the significant historical events that occurred under this system, including power shifts between the nobility and samurai, the expansion of Buddhist influence, and conflicts among regional samurai groups. We also explore how retired Emperor Shirakawa became one of the most powerful centralizers in Japan's late medieval period, facing three uncontrollable elements: the waters of the Kamo River, the roll of double sixes in dice, and the monks of Enryaku-ji on Mt. Hiei.
Additionally, the video covers the rise of warrior monks, the establishment of northern samurai, the wars among warrior clans in the northeastern regions, how Minamoto no Yoshitsune forged strong ties with Kanto samurai through the Genpei War and the subsequent conflict, and the rise of the Fujiwara clan in Oshu. We'll also discuss how Minamoto no Yoshitsune became the spiritual leader of Kanto samurai, laying the foundation for the Kamakura Shogunate.
Finally, the video will introduce power struggles under the insei system, including competition among the Fujiwara, Minamoto, and Taira clans, and the prelude to the Hogen Rebellion. Join us to gain in-depth insights into this turbulent period of Japanese history and witness how power shaped the destiny of the nation.
