There was also extensive pirate activity in the Sea of Japan and Yellow Sea during the medieval period, with many of the crews being multinational mixes of Japanese, Korean and Chinese sailors. No one really expected to live a long life back then, but for many of these people it was certainly an adventure while it lasted!

there are reliable historical sources in terms of the sea people's existence. at least the egyptians wrote about them which where really diligently in writing things down. even though it was always out of their own perspective. if the sea people alone were responsible for the late bronze age collapse, i can't tell. I would vouch for multiple causes causing it, b/c trades routes on land also became less save during that time. Still a great suggestion to talk about them.

When pirates *ahem* I mean Sea Lord's re-write history, this is what happens

Before the battle of Itsukushima, Mōri Motonari asked Noshima's naval force to join him to against Sue Harukata. It was a bet since Ōuchi clan's fleet is a lot bigger, but since Harukata banned the personal "trade and transportation" in Kanmon strait, Noshima decided to join Mori clan and it's one of reason how Motonari could beat Harukata

"Yet many a king on a first class throne, if wants to call his crown his own, must manage somehow to get through more dirty work than e'er I do. For I am a pirate king!" -- Murakami Takeyoshi, probably.

It's interesting that "Sea people" were discriminated against. In One Piece, one of the major arcs and themes have to deal with Fishmen and Merfolk who are discriminated against from the people who live above the once. This arc also has many parallels to the Civil Rights Era in the United States too. But yeah, within the series pirates are usually not favored because many of them are violent raiders, and the Fishmen Pirates only take up piracy because they're given no other opportunities in that world.

Wow, I cannot say enough good things about this video, the content, and the talent. Very well done!

Thanks for the book recommendation! I had been reading about the Ryuku and this should make for a great follow-up!

A movie or TV show focused on the Sea Lords would be awesome. Blackbeard eat your freaking heart out!

Great video! Love the series.

This was great. Thanks!

Awesome thanks i love all your videos

Damn, we made it onto pbs origins? Less go!

I’m pretty sure they were known as the Murakami clan, not the Noshima clan. Iirc, I think the Noshima were a branch of the Murakami clan. That’s why the flag is important, it’s the kanji for kami, as in, Murakami. I never knew “ama” referred to sea people in general. I only know it as referring to the traditional female pearl divers.

Very interesting, well written and informative video.

Medieval Ryukyuan merchant ships were less attacked by pirates than Japanese ships. There is a theory that court of the Ryukyu made a pact with influential pirates. for Ryukyuans the Kaizoku were also traders, unless in rivalry in business. Pirates were just a force that could be either friend or foe. Seems same as today

Japanese pirates (Wakō or Wokou) were people who invaded the Korean Peninsula and mainland China by ship. Sometimes when I look at history textbooks, it says, "I'm out of the army," but that's a pirate. They went to loot. bad guys, duh. - Eiichirō Oda, author of The One Piece -

@minoru-kk

Жыл бұрын

Note that the history is left by of Chinese powers. Who were the Wokous? Literally Japanese pirates but it's clearly found that Chinese, Koreans, and Ryukyuans joined them so their Japanese identity had gone. Some argued that the Chinese or Koreans blamed the Japanese for everything in order to deny that their subjects were involved in organized crime

Very cool and informative. I didn't know about the sea lords, but always suspected that there was some amount of piracy in Japan.

Pirates have always had connections to various merchants and governments. Who do you think they sold their loot to? At times some mercantile houses would invest in “adventurous” activities. Much the same goes on today, re: Somali pirates.

Another amazing video!

Very nice video

The sengoku jidai is one of the most fascinating and dramatjc periods in world history period and im unsurprised this particular drama is also part of that period.

You probably don't often think of open water as being "real estate", but when you have enough power to control a valuable trading/travel corridor... the value is there and I suppose anything on land or sea is "free real estate"

thanks :)

They took all of the Steve!

why you didn't mention anything about the Devil Fruits?

Does Joel Cook do interviews?!

A similar notion to the wokou raids, whose activities peaked during the reign Jiajing emperor

I know about One Piece, haven't read it though yet. Never made the connection though to the Japanese pirates before, which I know about learning more about Korean history. there are called 왜구 there and yes, seen as pirates from the Korean perspective, because as neighbors across the sea they were oftem at the low end of their treatment and frequently raided by them.

Without the Sea Lords, the merchants would have been the dominant and dare I say domineering force. They would have probably taken similar actions to the Sea Lords.

Well technically after becoming the official navy of feudal japan they would have become sea lords rather than just pirates, or would they count more like the western privateers, something like a paramilitary force that has backing of the state?

For non-One Piece readers, here's some spoiler-free world lore to connect the reference to the content: The world of One Piece is a planet covered nearly completely by ocean, with the only land being scattered islands and a single, massive continent that wraps around the entire globe in a bisecting ring called the Red Line. In this maritime setting, power is balanced between the military, pirates, and privateers. The Marines are the naval forces that enforce the will and laws of the World Government, the Four Emperors are the four mightiest pirate captains whose respective territories and followers amount to micronations, and the Seven Warlords of the Sea (!!!) are a rotating cast of top pirates recruited by the Marines to run interference against other pirates and act as government agents when summoned/ordered. The video on the Sea Lords added some great context to the Seven Warlords! The Warlords in-universe in One Piece are a complicated organization with conflicting internal ideologies/ambitions and polarized public perception - it's fascinating to see the seeds of that in the history of the Sea People, in both their motivations and the public perception.

Hello my friend

Pirates, like you said, are described by their enemies. What if, instead of 'good guys v. bad guys', we think of pirates as 'State v. Non-state' actors? Even pirates have borders - if a ship sails into pirate waters shouldn't the Pirates defend their borders the way a State would defend it's borders?

Then we have to have the conversation of "what counts as a state" vs "what is just some local person(s) and their Enforcement Team", and what (if any) meaningful differences exist between them. Certainly a fascinating conversation to be had, there.
