      It seems that the legend that his grave exists in Oshika Village, Nagano Prefecture has been known for a long time, but as time has passed, the location of his grave seems to have been forgotten by people. However, in recent years, due to the popularity of The Elusive Samurai, people started visiting Oshika Village in search of Tokiyuki's grave, and his grave was rediscovered. However, this is just a legend, so we don't know if it is actually Tokiyuki's grave. At least the grave itself seems to have been built in the Edo period.

    I will summarize a little historical context.
    This anime begins in the Kamakura period, around this time an era called the Northern and Southern Dynasties (1336 -> 1392) began.
    Kamakura city, where the main residence is located, is where the Minamoto family in The Young King explored (also where Japan's first Shogun Minamoto no Yoritomo was born), and established this place as the Shogunate institution, Later, this place became an urban area with a highly developed warrior class. In previous dynasties, only lords owned land next to the Emperor, and warriors lived in hamlets and villages. The lord's territory, but by the time of Kamakura, it can be said that the Samurai was complete, the warrior then had power, status, and was given fiefs, that is, both land and houses. However, I distinguish, the Shogunate is just a political institution established by warriors to restrain the court, the head of the bakufu is the Regent, and here, although the main family is of noble lineage, the Hojo family is not a descendant of the Emperor, the true Emperor is Go-Daigo.
    Regent Hojo is so weak that the Shogunate collapse + are looked down upon by the samurais, so you see that the first half of the movie looks peaceful but is actually very problematic.
    At the end of the Kamakura period, Emperor Go-Daigo intended to rebel against the bakufu to regain power. He appointed his 3-year-old son to succeed him. Using the pretext of Emperor Go-Daigo's rebellion, Ashikaga Takauji, who was a member of the Kamakura Shogunate, led his army to attack and then joined hands with Nitta Yoshisada and the Emperor, taking an opposing stance against the Kamakura Shogunate, leading to the tragic scene in episode 1, however, Ashikaga Takauji's purpose was not to support the Emperor, but in fact he was the one who wanted to rebel, establish the Muromachi Shogunate and want to overthrow the Emperor.

  • @kiboutokumei8146
    @kiboutokumei8146 Před měsícem

    The successors of the Hojo clan never became Shogun.
    Instead, they held the title of "Shikken," the regent of the Kamakura Shogunate.
    For a long time, the Emperor was merely a puppet of the Shogun.
    In turn, the Shogun was a puppet of the Hojo clan's Shikken.
    Even a Shikken like Tokiyuki's father was manipulated by his own servants.
    The megalomaniacal Emperor Go-Daigo grew tired of this puppet show and aspired to be a true ruler.
    The Emperor's ambition influenced Takauji, who then awakened the plans for the Muromachi Shogunate.
    This was the trigger for a chaotic tragedy.
