Part 12 of "Japanese History: The Textbook," a historical documentary series based entirely on Japanese-language educational materials. This time, we take a look at the beginning of the Kamakura period and the rise of the warrior government which gives this era its name. Topics covered include the Genpei War, the founding of the Kamakura Shogunate, the rise of the Hojo clan and their gradual takeover of the shogunate, the assassination of Minamoto no Sanetomo, and the Jôkyû War.

I aced that thang 💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥
Thank you! Will check
Thank you! Very helpful to retain the knowledge!
I’m impressed how well Masako held her own as the Nun-Shogun
"In the new world of the Kamakura Period, status alone was no longer a guarantee of power; if you didn't have the skill and shrewdness to back up your position in society, you could see that position (no matter how exalted) evaporate before your eyes at a moment's notice."
What an apt description of the time. There is no guarantee you'll be alive tomorrow. The volatility of positions of power is dizzying. If I was alive back then, I'd do my best to be perceived as the least important person possessing the fewest titles possible to prevent my being assassinated or dying under 'mysterious circumstances'.
That would probably be the best way to go! But, with all the different interwoven layers of leadership, someone somewhere would still probably be after your head. I'm quite glad to have not been born back then at all (haha)
Fantastic work as always!
Thank you sir! Here's hoping we can get a collab in one of these days.
@@BuyuudenJapaneseHistory For sure! I will send you and email this week and hopefully we can plan some thing out!
@@TheShogunate Sounds great! I hope we can cook something up!
こんにちはアダムさん相変わらず動画はすごく面白かった The video was really great and interesting the 北条氏 remind me of the 藤原 or the retired emperor with how they took power this is all really interesting I have heard about all of this but never explained in this much detail I really like how throughly explained how everything happened and I like that you still have the mnemonics I can’t wait for next video also this is kinda off topic but are you gonna talk about the 南北朝時代 but I want to know more about I don’t know much about that and I am really excited for your stand alone videos.btw sorry i write really long comments.
いつもありがとうございます！I absolutely agree, the Hojo were very much like the bakufu’s version of the Fujiwara. I probably won’t get to the 南北朝 period until the latter part of this year, but we will definitely get there, and I am looking forward to it! I too think it’s a super cool period.
legitimately these are some of the best videos ive ever seen. thank you so much
I appreciate the kind words! There will be more to come, to please stay tuned.
really enjoying this series, thanks for all your hard work- I especially enjoy the rich variety of illustrations used- well done!
Great video (again)
Liked and subscribed. This is very well done. Thank you for a very professionally done series on Japan's history.
It is interesting and very revealing to think that the third shogun, Minamoto-no-Sanetomo, could be barren. If I'm not mistaken, Sanetomo even adopted (or at least treated as the son of) his own assassin Kugyo and Kujo Yoritsune's wife Take-no-Gosho, both sons of the second shogun, Yoriie.
Yes, it looks like he did! I actually did not know that, as it wasn’t mentioned in the books I used. Knowing that somehow makes it even more dramatic.
As always I rejoice at seeing an update. Excellent work once again!
Thank you! I’m grateful for the support!
Absolutely fantastic intro! Enjoyed the video from start to finish!
I thought you might like that part 😁
Fantastic work, I know I’m in for a good 40 minutes 👏👏👏
Thank you! I hope you enjoyed it!
Travelling to Kamakura soon, so it was time to revisit this masterpiece.
Yes! I've been waiting so impatiently for this episode! I came across your series by searching for vids about the Kama Kura period about a month ago, saw that you had videos that went all the way back to the neothic and the Jomon period, I figured why not start at the beginning! Great channel and a great series! I look forward to more as impatiently as ever! Ha.
I'm glad you found me! I'll be hard at work keeping the videos coming. Thanks for watching!
These are the best Japanese Samurai history videos I have ever seen Domo Arigato Gozaimasu
That means a lot! Thank you.
Just popping in to say that I watch the Genpei War video and Kamakura Period ones simultaneously while watching 鎌倉殿の１３人 to fact check them and I'm having so much fun! I think I've watched the Genpei War video like 4 times already. it's my first Taiga drama and I'd love to hear your opinions on the show, so if you ever made a review that'd be awesome. I was surprised that they went with [spoiler] the rebellion theory with Soga brothers. When they first showed up I was expecting an epic, moving tale like the story you told on your channel. Guess I'll have to watch your video again because well... I was not happy 😛
Hey, good to see you still around these parts! I’m humbled to be a part of your Taiga Drama experience (haha). Someone else has also suggested that I review the new one, but in order to do that I’d have to find the time to actually do the watching part, and I’m not sure I can squeeze that into my current schedule 😅 I actually didn’t know that they went with the rebellion theory! That’s very interesting though and kind of makes me want to check it out more. One of these days!
@@BuyuudenJapaneseHistory OF COURSE I'M STILL AROUND I meant it when I said that I'm waiting for every video so you better keep your promise and take us through the whole history of Japan!! 😛it's really nice that you remember me so thank youuu. I don't always comment because when I do, I ramble on and on and I don't want to be a bother in every comment section of every video lol But anyway I didn't know much about Genpei War until your video but it was so engaging that it got me into the topic and during meetings with friends/family I talk about Mochihito uprising and about "these awesome videos about Japanese history" I watch on yt. So everyone I know knows about you aka Buyuuden the guy who makes these awesome Japanese history videos 😅 (and no - no one I know is into Japanese culture or history lol) Also because you mentioned it, it was the first time I heard about Taiga dramas and I was super pissed that I've never heard of them before. Everyone is obsessed with k-dramas, sometimes historical but for the longest time I wanted to watch a good historical j-drama (that are really hard to find online in comparison) because I've been studying Japanese + I'll be taking N2 in December so y'know - language practice. And just at the right time comes 鎌倉殿の１３人. If I'm being honest I wouldn't call it a masterpiece of television, or anything remotely close but it's fun so if you ever find the time - give it a try. Sorry again for the long comment. I thought I might as well let you know that you've become a conversation topic at the dinner table with my family 😂 but not in a creepy way, I swear!! it's supposed to be a compliment? I guess..?
One thing I wanted to ask - will you be alright if I translated subtitles of the Genpei War video for my dad to watch? He really wanted to see it too, but his English is not very good. I'm not sure if I'll ever get to it, because I'm also not good at managing my hobbies and other activities, but if I ever do it, I'd like to have your permission.
@@kinya642 I intend to keep that promise! I’m just glad that I never promised any sort of specific time frame. But we will continue making our way toward the Bakumatsu (and mayyybe beyond) at a leisurely pace, making lots of fun pit stops along the way.
Good luck on the N2! The one everyone says is life-changing (haha). Sadly I don’t think any of that awesome 時代劇 vocab and grammar will make its way onto the test, but hopefully it’s giving you at least a bit of study value. At the very least it will help prepare you for… watching more Taiga dramas?
Anyway thanks for continuing to support the channel and letting people know about its existence. I’m surprised to know that I’ve been a dinner table topic of conversation, but it is an honor nonetheless (haha). By all means, feel free to translate the subtitles! Out of curiosity, what language would it be into?
@@BuyuudenJapaneseHistory thank you for your permission! if it ever comes to it, it’ll be into Polish ☺️
@@kinya642 Ooh interesting, that would cool. I'm sure it would be quite a labor to translate the whole thing, but you are more than welcome to if you find the time!
This Hojo Patriarch just sounds like Ieyasu Tokugawa when he was usurping the Toyotomi and one by one trying to destroy all the Toyotomi Elders, I think I dislike this guy more then Ieyasu because at least before he usurped an already unified Japan he was a talented survivor, Leader and resourceful guy.

Awesome Channel though I found it from watching The Shogunate who suggested it keep up the good work I watched them all in order to this one all day, this countries history interests me, got started from Sengoku Jidai which is probably not a shocker
Yeah I can definitely understand that comparison. At least in Ieyasu's case he was only usurping power from a guy he already felt he was on the same level with, what with him and Hideyoshi both originally being lieutenants of Nobunaga. In the Hojo's case, they pretty much owed their entire status to Yoritomo and his sons.
Anyway, thanks for making your way over to the channel!
What a perfect way to start the month with a new Buyuuden video! 🙏
I’ll be working hard from now on to make sure you can do that every month! 👊
I'm here, because of your Gempei War video. Liked, subbed, shared.
Thank you! I appreciate the support!
Thank you for creating in depth content on pre sengoku Japan.
As long as there are people like yourself who are willing to watch, it is my pleasure!
I'm glad to know that you're branching out into new content, but it would be great if you could also do Taiga drama reviews. All I've watched so far are the seppuku fest Shinsengumi (2004), melodramatic but filled with pretty ladies Taira no Kiyomori (2012), and the very charismatic portrayal of Saigo Takamori in Segodon (2018).
I was actually just watching some Taiga drama-related videos the other day and thinking the same thing… Sadly, in my life right now I don’t think I have nearly the time to do all the watching necessary to make a good review video. Maybe if CZcams ever becomes full-time! But we’re still a long way off from that 😅
@@BuyuudenJapaneseHistory Understood. I wish you success, you really deserve it. You're the only one I knew so far who can make in depth videos about Japanese history that's being taught in Japanese schools in English. Thank you for all your hard work.
@@doriginalkillua99 Thank you, I really appreciate that. I'll keep grinding over here, and hopefully the next couple years will take us somewhere interesting!
Thanks much for another great video. Looking forward to many more in the future.
Thank you sir! There will definitely be many more to come.
I think one of the turning points in the relationship between the shogunate and Go-Toba was after Go-Toba ordered the killing of Minamoto no Yorimochi (源頼茂), which resulted in the destruction of part of the palace, the shogunate was very inactive in rebuilding the palace.
Interesting! This is some deep knowledge right here.
This was very good, thanks for the hard research to make it.
I like saying that word Kamakura :) I was just there a couple of years ago...Yes, The Great Buddha ...Loved it!
こにちはアダ厶さん,
Can you please tell the name of the soundtrack that you use in your video😅❤️
I cannot find it and it's really good.
Wow, I'm looking forward to seeing until the end.
31:40 "west-side warriors" sure translates gracefully into modern English 😂😂😂
These are great ty for the videos
VERY GOOD DEPICTION OF JAPAN'S STORY. ONE QUESTION: WHAT IS NAME OF THE THEME SONG? I'VE HEARD IT IN "OLD DOGS" I THINK AND OTHER MOVIES, BUT I CAN'T FIND ITS NAME. VERY MUCH LIKE TO PURCHASE IT.
HISTORY IS DIFFICULT TO REALLY ORGANIZE AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR STYLE OF ORGANIZING IT.
REGARDS
just found the channel. great content! super nice voice to lisen to
At first I was a little offended at your use of Lincoln's speech at the beginning of the video subverting the real meaning behind his words but on second thought as a statement of a group of people pulling them out from from tyranny I'll go with it
so much respect to the Japanese history from the land of the pharaohs
This is killer man! As always :)
Thank you 🙏
I am travelling to Japan this summer and your videos are helping me so much!! Great job!!!
I wanted the thumbnail to be a wooden statue of Minamoto no Yoritomo from Kai Zenkoji Temple (Kofu City, Yamanashi Prefecture). This wooden statue was made by his wife Hojo Masako as a memorial for Minamoto no Yoritomo after his death.
Great video👍👍
Thank you!
Kamakura era LET'S FUCKING GOOO

Excellent video, very instructive and well organised content. Please get my like and comment for the algorithm!
But they saw that emperors were not invincible before. Ankō was supposedly assassinated by a kid, and Shūsun by the powerful Soga clan. And then of purse there’s Saimei and Tenji’s disaster in 660. 😅
I like hojo clan. Zelda tri-force is strong. 😊
While much of Asian culture fascinates me, I am always perplexed (and repelled) by a recurring motif that is seen almost exclusively in Eastern societies (Japanese & Chinese, in particular) : The almost casual acceptance of what in Western Societies, such as, Rome, would be considered “traitors” (or traitorous behavior)….and the casual acceptance of massive corruption-that occurred on almost every level of society….
While “changing sides” wasn’t unheard of in Western societies, unless one was seen to do so in the name of a “greater cause,” one often carried the stigma of being “untrustworthy”/or a turncoat for the rest of his life. This often held true despite one’s doing so to uphold one’s beliefs ( “Eh tu, Brute?”)
The ancient Japanese seemed to pick up & drop loyalties at the drop of a hat-which must have created an atmosphere of high anxiety, and almost constant suspicion. “Trust” must have been a commodity in short supply-and feeling “betrayed” was likely a constant companion for many….Small wonder that in such a toxic environment, extreme violence was so prevalent… And as for corruption, those obtaining certain posts appeared to believe it was “their due” to skim as much as they could from whatever sources came into their purview
Again, while I am not suggesting that such activities weren’t also occurring in their Western counterparts, they certainly were not occurring so openly & brazenly-and was something that was seen as “shameful,” at that….The sheer degree to which corruption (looting) occurred in Ancient Asia was, I would argue, unmatched by any society-before or since (for example, the looting done by eunuchs in the Chinese Emperors’ employ often amounted to nearly the whole of the yearly treasury)….
I would be interested to hear what ppl have to say about these transgressions (and why Eastern societies seemed so particularly susceptible to them)….Thanks.
Gettysburg cuteness ❤🇯🇵. How's your Daughter and Son? Have they graduated from university yet!??? I wish them well,your wife too.. has she allowed herself to be videoed yet??? Cool you're doing another channel good luck!!👍🇯🇵🙏👏🇯🇵🥰
I think you have the wrong person...
Thank you for the support though!
I’m eating rice while watching this.

Hells teeth, and we think the Sengoku period was nasty! This is like game of thrones. Except with more bristly moustaches and eyebrows.
Ah yes
This is some Gambo
What was the point of plagiarizing the Gettysburg Address? Makes no sense at all. Japanese history is rich on its own without such cheap embellishments.
It is a reference/history joke that is commonly made here in Japan when talking about the Kamakura Bakufu in domestic books and other media. Perhaps you are right, though. We need to let these silly Japanese writers and historians know that their history is rich on its own without such cheap embellishments!
interesting as these videos maybe, i m pretty sure if i was a japanese student i would find this boring and sleepy
so much respect to the Japanese history from the land of the pharaohs
