This is filmed in Dejima, which is really pretty, though much smaller than I had expected. It's right around the corner from where I live in Togitsu :) 32 seconds into the video, I perked right up, "omg, he's 10 minutes away from my house!"

The slave trade of Japanese is over represented in this video it lasted little over 50 years. Omura is known as the Daimyo that opened Nagasaki to the west, not as a traitor. Even then though its not like other Daimyos were closed off, Oda Nobunaga famously mastered gun formations and even preferred to wear european armor. Also the link between Nagasaki and Japans readiness in the 20th century is very flimsy, to the point of irrelevancy. The portuguese had Macau in China about 100 years prior. i understand that this is meant for an audience not familiar with Japanese history. But the accusation of treason plays on modern nationalism too much. Its dangerously anacronistic.

In many ways, Japan was unaware of Western achievements until Perry forced them to open up. For instance, industrialization did not (and would likely never) arrive through a trading post, at least not at a pace that would be fast enough to enable Japan to catch up with the West. It would also be interesting if he talked more about the Japanese persecution of Christianity during the Edo period. It is a bit outside the scope of the video, but it would be an interesting thing to talk about when discussing slavery. It would also have been a good idea to mention the more or less caste-based nature of the Japanese society to add some contrast/context to European-style slavery.

Something you probably should've been a little more clear about: you explained very well the pressures that the country was under, at the hands of European traders and missionaries, and why the Shogun had to do what he did, but one thing you could've touched up upon more was the ferocity of the persecution of the Kirishitans (Japanese Christians). By 1600 they were perhaps the largest Christian population in the world outside of Europe, and it wasn't just religious leaders who were murdered by the regime. Huge swaths of the population were threatened with death, and many did indeed lay down their lives. Many were boiled alive, even. There were no heroes in this story, no innocent defenders or one-sided aggressors.

Who was a traitor to exactly? He was surrounded by enemies who wanted his head. He found an ally in the Portuguese and was rewarded for it. Is he a traitor because he traded with them? Is he a traitor because he left his Faith for theirs? Because he sold his women to them? Had he done nothing of the sort, his head would be presented on a plate to one of his enemies, his property long ago divided and his women raped and sold off to his enemies.

One man's patriot is another man's traitor, I suppose. There was no organised central Japanese state at the time due to the constant civil wars and upheaval so he's not "traitor" in a way we'd understand. But it's important to note that the Japanese well understood that Christianity would be used as a tool by colonial powers to infiltrate and subjugate the population in a context that was beside its spiritual aspects. In that sense his conversion to Christianity presented a grave threat to a Japan that wished to remain free from colonial domination in the future. And bear in mind this was not a case of the lord "letting Jesus into his heart", it was a cynical trade of his soul for European gold, this is quite clear. And his court was also compelled to convert, they did not come to Jesus freely. If you convert to Christianity to survive you are still a convert "by the sword", no matter who holds the weapon. The timing is a little enlightening as well. At the time he decided to increase his wealth by dealing with the metaphorical devil he was threatened but not under attack. It wasn't until after he crossed the political and social line of a full alliance with the Portuguese his enemies tried to destroy him in earnest. I guess becoming Christian to gain wealth is no longer seen as a sin? In fact, there is a popular American Christian doctrine ("Prosperity Gospel") that advocates finding Christ and knowing God's love through accumulating wealth.

I don't see why he should be considered a traitor. The Portuguese were in the other side of the world, and it is not like he was selling his nation for his own good. All the lords were trying to keep and increase their power, and did what they could to do so. Besides, the comparison with the Philippines is quite unfair, because that country was created by the colonization itself (like Mexico, Argentina or Brazil) , while Japan unified itself and had a united identity. So the situation was immensely different. The game that lord played was risky, but calling it treason is unfair, because it is simply the story as told by his enemies, the winners.

Actually, one of the main reasons that Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Ieyasu banned Christianity in Japan is because of this very idea that Christianity was a pretext for colonization. Buddhist Monks were particularly convinced that this was the motivation or so they made it seem to Toyotomi, but he rejected the argument until a Spanish ship from the Philippines was blown off course and landed in Japan. The ship captain had the audacity to demand that the Japanese repair his ship and if they didn't, well, they could colonize "this group of barbarians" just as they had colonized the Philippines and the New World before. This appeeared to suggest what the Buddhist Monks were claiming, e.g. that the Catholic conversions in Kyushu (which are estimated to be 30% of the island by that point) were designed to be part of a colonization or invasion yet to come.

The Vietnamese obeyed and listened to the Japanese, and it benefited them on the long run. So did Indonesia. Japan helped the oppressed Asian peoples under European colonialism to create a strong national identity in the event the Europeans retake their colonial territories.

In addition to that, the Portuguese were famously arrogant about what they considered the barbaric practices of the japanese people and their 'heathenistic' religion. The Japanese were no better in response. Any time Portugal set up a new trade post, a mob would get together and burn it down" One of those actions is very much not like the other and don't sound equivalent at all.

This really was a nice reminder of something in my country as well although quite different. It was a king named Don Juãn Dharmapāla who converted to christianity after 200 years of religious oppression by Portuguese colonisers. In return came a rebellion of some of the greatest war heroes of Sri Lankan history to free Sri Lanka. Don Juãn fled to Portugal after betraying the sacred 2500 year old rule that the true heir to the Sri Lankan throne must protect our native religion (Buddhism), but in return freed Sri Lanka altogether.
