"Everyone had to be taken in, even you. Or spies would have told Ishido and he would have moved against us at once and no good fortune on earth or gods in heaven could have prevented disaster for me. At that time, I ordered Crimson Sky as another feint to throw Ishido into confusion and also had the right parts of the discussion whispered in the wrong ears. Time is what I need most. Everyday I gain, weakens Ishido further. That's my battle plan."

James Clavell's Shogun (1975), Chapter 50, Page 839

Hanjiro (2010)

A reason the last Samurai did not use guns as their stored guns were raided and destroyed by the Imperials, and the only guns they can get their hands on are the leftovers old guns from years ago.

The Samurai were already stripped of their land, power and wealth, they are isolated by the Imperial government, with their supply chain cut off. So katana, bows and arrows are all they have to fight.

Chano : Oh, yes, I saw you at your wedding, but you didn't see me. You're very little different from those days, still one of Buddha's chosen. Mariko : Ah, I wish that were true, Oku-san. I'm not, as much as I would like to be. Toranaga : She's Christian. Chano : Ah, what does that matter, Christian or Buddha, Great Lord? Not a lot sometimes, though some god's necessary to a woman. We women need a god, Great Lord, to help us deal with men, neh? Toranaga : And we men need godlike patience, to deal with women, neh? They laughed, and it warmed the room, and for an instant, lessened some of Mariko's foreboding. James Clavell's Shogun (1975), Chapter 49, Page 821

Golden Kamuy | Official Trailer | Netflix 19 May 2024

A Russo-Japanese War veteran, Saichi Sugimoto (Kento Yamazaki) goes to Hokkaido to search for gold which was stolen from an Ainu tribe. He encounters an Ainu girl named Asirpa (Anna Yamada), whose father was killed by those who stole the gold. An unlikely alliance is formed between the two, as one searches for gold and the other searches for vengeance. 

Meanwhile, Tokushiro Tsurumi (Hiroshi Tamaki) of the Imperial Army is also searching for the gold for his men who risked their lives in the war but left unrewarded by the government. Toshizo Hijikata (Hiroshi Tachi), an escaped prisoner who was the vice-commander of the Shinsengumi that fought against the Imperials, also wants the gold to realize his own ambitions.

War erupts in the winter cold of Hokkaido as the battle for gold begins.

This is beautiful. At one glance I though it's a legit traditional art.

Just a quick drawing of Mariko-sama facing Ishido proudly and taking over the spot of best character of this series while I wait anxiously for the next and last episode 😋

"I am no peasant to be trodden on. I am daughter of the great Lord Akeshi Jinsai. My line has been samurai for a thousand years, and I will never be captive, or hostage, or confined. I am free to go as I please..."
