| Synopsis |
|---|
The early 18th century was a time of peace in Japan, due largely to the long-lasting regime of the Tokugawa Shogunate. People were beginning to indulge themselves in wasteful spending and lavish lifestyles, bribery was rampant, and people's morals were deteriorating. Tokugawa Yoshimune, a young lord from Kishu in western Japan, was chosen to become the 8th Shogun of the Tokugawa Shogunate. The fifth lord of the Kishu clan, one of Tokugawa's shinpan (related houses), Yoshimune became the star hope for numerous vassals of the Shogun. He was said to be an illegitimate son of the lord of the Kii clan (presently Wakayama prefecture) and a woman of extremely lowly rank. Because of his background, some were opposed to his becoming Shogun. Once assuming the post, however, Yoshimune introduced one new policy after another, earning him the lasting reputation as a wise ruler. | | TV Asahi |

I happened upon this show purely by accident on a local PBS station in New York in the 90's. Unfortunately, it wasn't on at a regular time so I was always looking for it. I had forgotten the name of it until I found it again when I googled "shogun". I was looking for more info on the mini series with Richard Chamberlain. I saw that mini series and I was looking to buy it when I saw Abarenbo Shogun on the list!!! Now I'll have to see if I can buy any of the episodes. |
