Hiroyuki Sanada isn’t just the lead actor he’s also one of the hands on producers on the show. He wanted an absolutely accurate depiction of 1600 Japan, so he brought on historians and experts in Japanese etiquette to make sure everything was absolutely perfect for that era. Plus, Hiroyuki is not only one of the best and most charismatic actors around but with his world class sword fighting and martial arts skills, he’s practically a samurai in real life. They literally couldn’t have picked a better person for the job.
Toranaga is like Ned Stark if Ned Stark was good at politics.
To give you some historical context, this is set during the European religious wars. Catholic Spain and Portugal are at war with Protestant England and Holland. Blackthorn is an English Pilot sailing a Dutch flagged ship. Spain and Portugal were the first to discover the safe sailing route to the east and kept it secret giving them a trade monopoly. Before the Taiko's deaths, Japan invaded Korea but failed. This caused China to refuse trade with Japan. To get around this, the Portuguese act like middle men between Japan and China. Japans need for Chinese silk caused them to give some concessions to the Portuguese in the form of Missionaries and Churches. Not all Japanese leadership is favorable to the Christians especially because it brings loyalty into question. That's why Toranaga asked if Mariko would obey him or her God. Toranaga doesn't know exactly what Blackthorn can do, but he recognizes him as a variable that could change his situation, so he's interested to see what he's about. It's not the full context but should give you a better idea of what's going on. The queen was Elisabeth I
love how the name of the first episode is Anjin, aka the pilot episode
That little baby better get an Oscar nomination. He was on point! 😭
In Europe, bathing was communal which led to spreading of disease. So the common thought was bathing led to disease as opposed to the communal part.
Cosmo the guy that plays John Blackthorne gives me Tom Hardy vibes and im here for it. haha
And that line he spoke of is why they speak Portuguese in Brazil but Spanish in Mexico the line goes basically straight down the middle of South America
Don't rely on the Japanese you hear to "pick up" the language... they are speaking era-appropriate language...
