Three iconic leaders in the Sengoku period are described their characters as, Nobunaga: Kills the bird if it won’t sing. Hideyoshi: Coaxes the bird sing if it won’t. Ieyasu: Sits back and waits for the bird to sing.

Nobunaga. He mixes the ingredients of the rice cake. Before he can bake the cake, he was force to commit Seppuku. Hideyoshi. He place the cake into the oven. Taken the cake out of the oven and forgotten it. Ieyasu. He had eaten the rice cake . After he had eaten the cake, Ieyasa had found it very good. He order the rice cake to be fix every day as well as share the recipe with rest of Japan.

I describe Ieyasu's personality: Intelligent, patient, cunning, cautious and strategic. Those made Ieyasu became my favourite Samurai leader along with Hideyoshi, despite they were rivals

Wow, I didn't know people outside Japan are interested in Sengoku era, which reminds me of a personal anecdote about it. When I was 12 or something there was this strategic game called Nobunaga's ambition and I was super hooked and literally memorized all daimyos, their famous samurai retainers and where they governed etc. One day, in the Japanese history exam, to my utter surprise, asked students to write down sengoku daimyos as many as possible with extra score 1 pts per daimyo. And as you expect I totally nailed it! I got 140 points out of 100😂

How the war hero Minamoto Yotshistne and legendary samurai was outlawed and killed by his brother she shogun yoritomo. The whole tale fascinated me to investigate into the samurai and japanese culture. The sengoku period is so strange and also interesting, it seems Japan's culture at the time was one of constant war, with daimyos and war lords all vying for power. And that is actually EPIC LOL!

Excellent video Watching Disney Shogun

I just finished watching the 3 videos recently posted that are of interest because of the Shogun 2024 series ( the older TV series was actually good too). Excellent history, well presented here, and very true telling of that was going on in Japan at this time to help understand the series better. Living in the Kyoto area, and the Shogun series a few weeks away from release, I’d just happen to visit the mountain top grave/shrine site of Hideyoshi with my wife. And, that reminded me of a book I would recommend for a historical (novel) background; “TAIKO’ by Eiji Yoshikawa.

The Sengoku Period was what gave birth to my love of history. The Romance of the Three Kingdoms grew my love of history.

There have been many stories written long after Takeda Shingen's passing. One of these versions was chosen by film director Akira Kurosawa for his film titled 'Kagemusha' and by British historian Stephen Turnbull. Takeda Harunobu (Shingen) did not die because of an injury but due to illness. Shingen had been ill for years and was ill during the siege of Noda castle. The departure from Kofu prior to the siege was unusually slow because of this illness. After the fall of Noda castle, Shingen was unable to continue his military campaign, and withdrew to Nagashino, and went to Houraiji to recuperate, but when his condition didn't improve, a return to Kai was ordered. Shingen's sickness was a lung illness (consumption aka tuberculosis). On his way to Kofu, Shingen retired to Shinano province, Ina district, Ikkaneki-Komanba (Modern day Nagano prefecture, Shimoina district, Achimura city, Komanba). He died on the 12th day of the 4th month, of the first year of Tensho (1573), and he was 53 years old. Takeda Katsuyori, his wife and his eldest son committed suicide at (the Battle of) Temmokuzan in (March) 1582. Not all of Takeda Katsuyori's family died in April of 1582. His youngest son Takeda Katsuchika (born in 1580) who was two years old was taken under the protection of Tokugawa Ieyasu and shielded from Oda Nobunaga and his son Oda Nobutada. Tokugawa Ieyasu ignored Oda Nobutada's order to hunt down the remnants, and hid surviving retainers of the Takeda clan. Oda Nobutada also employed farmers to kill many other people, including ministers of justice, court ladies, and anyone related to the Takeda family, whose severed heads were presented to his army. Given gold in exchange for these heads, farmers searched for important members of the Takeda clan to kill them and present their heads to Oda's army. Katusyori's youngest and only surviving son, Takeda Katsuchika lived as a Tokugawa vassal until the old age of 103, yes, 103 as he died in 1682. A few other Kai Province Takeda clan members survived as well as former vassals. The Takeda were no longer masters and owners of Kai Province.

Ill note it down for sure and read his life story thank you for the recommendation. Email me any additional information on him if you have any

Ieyasu to me is a competent general but a much better politician or diplomat who was able to convince many daimyo in the eastern part of japan to side with him. A man who is opportunistic in terms of using the circumstances surrounding him to gain the ultimate prize of becoming shogun and also a man who is adapatable in being able to bounce back from previous defeats to gaining even greater success in the future. I believe he was inspired by Imagawa Yoshimoto in terms of using diplomacy or politics in his lifetime since he was a hostage to the imagawa family for some time.

Hey I was watching your Sigurd the crusader Viking. Then I watched the curse of Oak Island tonight. They are starting to put together a connection between the Templar Knights and Vikings. And they discussed the fact that a Viking did go to the crusades leave a bunch of ships like you said and man. This would have helped their Templar Knights take treasure to oak islands since The Vikings would have known also about the new world. My point is you really should get a hold of those guys on the curse of Oak Island you have information that would be helpful to them.

Mine is Oda Nobunaga along with Sanada Yukimura and Saito Dosan, the reason why is because of course Nobunaga pave the way for unifying Japan, as for Yukimura well his nickname "The Crimson Demon Of War" explained it, i mean other than his famous wall of Sanadamaru and his feat of almost driving Ieyasu to death, last but not least, Saito Dosan "The Viper of Mino" man waited for 10 years to usurp the Toki clan, cunning and patience indeed

Once he entered Mikawa Province in February 1573, Shingen besieged Noda Castle, but then died in his siege camp. The exact circumstances surrounding his death are not known.

I simply said shot dead assumed he was shot and didn’t want to go into further detail, very good knowledge though

Nobunaga in Shogun is Goroda, the man Mariko's father(Akechi Jinsai/Mitsuhide) betrayed

The Shogunate was inward looking and very conservative. It isolated Japan for two and a half centuries, maintained a very rigid and stratified social order, and turned the famed samurai class into clerks, and drunks dependent on the Shogun's government for their annual pittance. The warrior class became a shadow of what it had been, which is why the fictitious code of bushido arose. When Mathew Perry arrived in the middle of the 19th century, the inability of the Japanese government under the Shogun to expel him wrote the end of the Tokugawa hold on power. After the Meiji Restoration in 1868, following the violent overthrow of the Tokugawa regime, Japan transformed itself from a backward and feudal society into a world power capable of defeating the major European power in the east, Russia, and all that in just over 40 years. Bushido came again to Japan in Hirohito's reign, leading Japan to ruin, the last parting gift of the Tokugawa Shoguns to posterity.
