Shogun

how often we hear the expression why i never thought of that why because we have failed to exercise common sense that genius of mankind which when properly directed is the one attribute that will carry man and his kind successfully through the perplexities of life Common sense is as a plant of delicate growth in need of careful training and continued watching so that it may bear fruit at all seasons.

In the teachings that follow, the Venerable Shogun, Yoritomo Tashi, points out that common sense is a composite product consisting of 1.

Perception 2.

Memory 3.

The day is dreary, and the clouds cast gloomy shadows upon the horizon.

Each one returned to relate their impressions of the weather, and the prince wondered at the different visions, unable to understand the reason.

There, concluded the Shogun, that is what happens to people who do not practice moderation.

Those who see things through the medium of enthusiasm refuse to recognize that they could be deprived of brilliancy and beauty.

It's only seven episodes, but I just never had the time to s- be consistently watching.

By the way, before you continue, um, uh, what's it called? Shogun winning and having the most Emmy wins in one year, that record, before they broke that record in 2024, it was John Adams had the most Emmy wins for any-

Yeah.

Well, I know Paul Giamatti-

... any project

... and Laura Linney both won for this.

Yeah, so that was the original record holder before Shogun won, got 18 wins.

I didn't know that.

We've got trouble, Takamura.

Genma have appeared in Rendino, and the Shogun sent soldiers to deal with them.

What?

Sending human soldiers against the Genma.

I told them.

I told them a thousand times not to meddle with the Genma.

The Shogun changed recently, right? The new one's probably trying to make a name for himself.

Should I go sort it out? Please do.

will.

The Emperor and the Shogun.

but how could a man of heishiro's standing gain the ear of either of these two illustrious personages so as to slander masamune and influence them against him the very idea was absurd true it was a warlike age and promotion speedily followed the achievement of a deed of valour with a spear in his hand and a good horse under

him one might rise to almost any height but heishiro was no soldier and his physical strength was small with a sigh he admitted to himself that the accomplishment of his purpose did not lie

Oh, no, my lord, he said earnestly.

Takachiyo-sama never gave me such a command, never.

i caught these sparrows quite of my own accord i meant one for takachiyo sama and one for myself nonsense whatever you say i know takachiyo is at the bottom of it you are a bold fellow to dare to tell me an untruth let me see what shall i do to you here bring me one of those bags the shogun pointed to some large strong leather bags resembling a money pouch in shape in which in the event of a fire or an earthquake his valuables would be encased before putting them into the dozo or fire-proof godown When the bag was brought, the Shogun said, Now, Choshiro, if you don't confess the truth, I will have you put into this bag and never allow you to go home again, nor give you any food.

Do you still persist in your falsehood? It is no falsehood, my lord.

To this end, Dalhousie practiced what he called the policy of lapse.

Namely, whenever a Hindu ruler died without direct male heir, his kingdom should be annexed.

During his short term of office, eight such cases occurred.

Such annexations could not fail to provoke fear and hatred among the Indian princes, and the steam locomotives, monsters in the eyes of the natives, and the telegraph, both introduced during Dalhousie's reign, as well as his attempts to establish an educational system under British auspices, angered the masses.

Area annexed from 1881 to 1891, 90,000 square miles.

Area annexed from 1891 to 1901, 133,000 square miles.

Since 1901 the extension of British power has taken another direction, the gradual tightening of the reins by which the British Governor-General controls the 700 states which still have native rulers.

The Maharajas, Rajas, Nizams and other native sovereigns now rule not by the grace of God, but by the grace of England.

I mean, there you're getting the year before the Onin Civil War that I just mentioned, where Kyoto is burned and, you know, things really break down.

And after that, a couple more, you know, Shogun-sponsored ones in 77 and 1484.

So actually, they still are doing it.

That's interesting.
