Episode 29: Upheaval
With the auspices of Hideyoshi, FUSHIMI - SANADA MANSION
Nobushige married Otani Yoshitsugu's daughter, Haru.
Hence, Honda Tadakatsu and Otani Gyobu are relatives.
That's very reassuring.
If the Sanada go to battle now, we can surely win.
When Haru is ready, I'll introduce her to you.
But first, Father...
There's something I'd like to ask you.
What is it?
It's about Mother's birth.
We were told she's Kikutei Harusue's daughter.
Is that in error?
She's not Kikutei Harusue's daughter.
She was his maid.
Maid?
No.
It was a long time ago.
Like Lord Shingen, I wanted to marry a noble's daughter.
I tried many routes, but were completely ignored.
The only person who took the bait,
was Kaoru, who served Harusue's mother.
I'm appalled.
Don't let others know.
If Mother learns that we know, it'd be unbearable for her.
She'd kill me first.
As unworthy as I am, please be good to me for life.
Genjiro, you have a fine wife.
You must like Haru.
I can tell.
Huh? How can you tell?
That's because...
Oh, never mind.
She reminds me of Ume.
Ko!
Who's Ume?
I'll tell you later.
Haru.
This is my wife, Ina.
Please be good to me.
By the way, do I resemble your previous wife?
Mother, I heard you are from a noble family.
My father is Kikutei Harusue.
Sir Harusue was exiled, and the relatives were punished.
I'm glad you escaped that.
It was a good thing I left in matrimony early.
Let's drink up today.
Let's drink.
Let's do that.
Genjiro, didn't you invite Kiri?
I did, but...
I was married before.
Her name was Ume.
She died during the battle against the Tokugawa.
I will naturally take good care of you.
But, I will never...
forget about Ume.
As hard as it may be for you,
please accept it.
I'm happy you told me the truth.
Shall we go to bed then?
Yes.
May I hold your hand?
Of course.
Saemon-no-suke is here.
He and I will take care of the rest.
Thanks.
He had some sake tonight, so he had an accident.
I'm glad I remained in the castle.
What shall I do with the bedding?
I have an idea.
What is it at this hour?
I heard you were staying in the castle tonight.
What should I do?
After Sir Hidetsugu's incident,
I'm worried about the future.
Everyone is in the same boat.
That thought keeps me up with indigestion.
Will you give me some stomach medicine?
All right. I'll give you some.
Thank you.
Come.
I see... so you have indigestion.
Regarding the Regent's face...
He had no beard.
Due to age, his beard had thinned out.
He's been using a fake beard since last month.
I'm worried about the Regent.
He's been repeating himself lately.
It's his old habit.
He can't control himself when he gets angry.
That's nothing new.
I've served him much longer than you.
I know the changes in him.
Yes.
How's your new wife?
She's a good woman.
She's not a bad woman,
but you'll suffer with her.
What do you mean?
You'll learn in time.
I was thinking of after death.
The position of Regent will be left open
until Hiroi reaches manhood.
The magistrates will manage the government
during the interim.
Very well.
Mitsunari.
In regards to the country...
the Toyotomi clan...
and Hiroi...
please take care of things.
Please don't get feeble because you wet your bed.
Be of assistance to Mitsunari.
Very well.
You must not have had raw rice crackers.
My husband loves them.
He seems depressed lately.
I'm hoping eating these will cheer him up.
There's another depressed person right here.
Magoshichiro was good to you.
I don't blame you for being depressed.
Wakusa had a favor to ask you.
Please hear her out. I'll wash my hands.
WAKUSA
Do you know of Lord Hosakawa WAKUSA
I saw him in the castle a number of times.
I want you to go to his mansion in Osaka,
and deliver an item to his wife.
Where's my father?
He went out again today with Sir Ideura. FUSHIMI CASTLE CONSTRUCTION
Where is he going every day? FUSHIMI CASTLE CONSTRUCTION
Well, actually...
He was seen entering the red light district.
What?
Sir Genzaburo.
Are things progressing smoothly?
Obviously not.
Show me the plans for Nagoya Castle.
Certainly.
Is the Lord out?
He's not here.
They wanted it to be an impregnable castle,
but what can we do at this stage?
I'm trying to get ideas by looking at various castle plans.
But I can't come up with anything.
Why are you here?
I'm looking for a carpenter named Kichizo
I'm looking for a carpenter named Kichizo.
Do you know him?
He's our head carpenter.
Wakusa?
She's Lord Konishi's mother. KICHIZO
Oh, Lady Magdalena.
I'm here for the item to give to Lord Hosokawa's wife.
Please give my regards to Lady Gracia.
Gracia?
I'm just a messenger.
Did you make this?
How splendid.
Who is this?
Are you Francisco?
I'm Francisco Kichizo.
I'm sorry for not attending Sir Genjiro's wedding.
I had urgent business to attend for Lady Nei.
He looked sad you weren't present.
What is his new wife like?
Actually...
she somewhat resembles Ume.
She does?
I think they're a good match.
I'd like to pay my respects to the Lord.
He hasn't returned yet.
Didn't you see him at the construction site?
No. Only Sir Genzaburo was there.
He should be there.
Lord Sanada.
It's still broad daylight.
It doesn't matter.
I can understand the Lord's feelings.
However...
I don't want to see him with the courtesan all day.
What happened to the Lord?
Are you Sir Genjiro's...?
He's my husband.
Lady Haru!
You must be Kiri.
How did you know?
Genjiro has told me so much about you.
You're the one people find annoying.
I'm sorry.
You two make a match.
I'm very happy to hear you say that.
Let's talk at leisure sometime.
By all means.
I'll see you again.
She has all the good qualities of Ume and myself.
Wasn't father with you?
He's still at the construction site.
Tell me the truth.
What is this about?
Is it a woman?
What?
I can tell.
Isn't he with a woman?
Kiri told me only you were at the construction site.
Well...
I'm sorry, but...
I'm tired from working all day.
I'm leaving.
Come back!
Are you running away?
Stay as you are.
What is the matter?
I'd like to talk to you.
Were you with Ko?
Did you think I didn't know?
I heard the rumors.
You've humiliated me!
I'll tell my father everything.
If you don't want me to tell him...
What is it?
Ina?
FUSHIMI CASTLE
The Taiko wanted to talk to me directly.
What could it be?
I have no idea.
Raw rice crackers?
You ate them often.
I made them over and over.
I finally got them to this Tate.
So?
I haven't told Sir Tokugawa about the new system yet.
You should tell him beforehand.
that the magistrates will be in charge of administration.
This Tates terrible!
You used to like it and ate a lot.
I never ate that before.
The reason I called you is because...
I felt it was time to change the system.
I, Tokugawa Ieyasu,
plan to dedicate my life to the Toyotomi.
From the time I retire until the time Hiroi matures,
there will be no Regent.
The government,
with the Tokugawa as the head,
will be run by the daimyos.
Very well.
Hiroi's future depends on you.
I'll be counting on you.
The Taiko must be tired. FUSHIMI - OTANI MANSION
Sir Ishida is in a bind.
I can imagine.
Father, how are you feeling?
It's not getting any better or worse.
I have no idea what kind of illness it is.
OSAKA - HOSOKAWA MANSION
Hosokawa Tadaoki's wife, Tama is Akechi Mitsuhide's daughter. TAMA (GRACIA)
She is known by her Christian name, Gracia TAMA (GRACIA)
Please accept this.
Francisco is a master craftsman.
He can make anything.
Thank you for delivering it.
I'd like to ask you something.
What is it?
Someone gave this to me.
Would you know who this person is?
This is God's mother, Mary.
She is praying for us and for our salvation.
She's God's mother, and she's praying to God?
She is the mother of our savior, Jesus Christ.
But she is also the mother to all.
That person must have given you this to protect you.
Thank you.
I'm not a Christian, but...
I am very impressed with their humble lifestyle.
Also...
their prayers are beautiful.
For the past three days,
I sent someone to spy on the construction site.
Shortly after you arrive at the site in the morning,
you go off somewhere.
And you never come back.
I went to Osaka.
We were short of good quality lumber.
For days?
Genzaburo.
What is your mother's point?
She thinks you're not working,
and are going to see a woman.
Ridiculous.
Let me ask Sir Ideura.
Is he telling the truth?
Was he going to Osaka daily?
Please give me an answer.
Come back, Ideura!
Are you running away?
Show me the plan.
Ideura!
Show yourself!
Come back!
I thought it was odd that you were returning late.
I can understand you'd be reeking with sake,
but why do I smell facial powder on you?
Even then, I believed in you. In spite of that...
Quiet!
What is this?
A map of Fushimi Castle.
If it's on a plain like this, it can be easily attacked.
It's as if you're seeing it for the first time.
What are you looking at?
Build an outlying castle on this high ground.
Outlying castle?
I get it.
When did you return?
That will bar the enemy from the East and North.
Uji river will serve as a natural moat on the West and South,
to stop the enemy.
Why didn't you see that?
I'll personally oversee it from tomorrow.
So you weren't overseeing it!
I will build an impregnable castle!
The reason why I called you is because...
I decided that until Hiroi reaches manhood,
there will be no Regent.
After I retire, the government,
with the Tokugawa as the head,
will be run by the daimyos.
What is the matter?
I shall stake my life on supporting Sir Hiroi.
Why did he order the same thing twice?
Am I being pressed?
It's an important matter that impacts the Toyotomi's future.
He's just reminding you.
Is he all right?
He appears a bit frail.
He's the same.
He's brimming with energy, physically and mentally.
Sir Katagiri.
He's in better condition than me.
Recently, for the first time in my life, I wet my bed.
What?!
Let's drop that matter.
What should we do from now on?
No one must know that the Taiko is in a bad condition.
Understood.
Also, keep a close eye on him.
I wish I could be by his side, but I can't.
I'll write a memo to Ishida.
Thank you.
Father?
These are the biscuits that the Christians were eating.
You said they were delicious.
It stinks.
I can't eat this!
It stinks.
This is excellent.
The crucial defense isn't at the main castle,
but at the branch castle at Kohatayama.
Father, only you would think of that.
The Sanada will eventually occupy that outlying castle.
If we attack the main wing from there,
we can lay siege to Fushimi Castle in one day.
I just wanted to build a castle.
A perfect castle.
It doesn't matter who defends it.
Sorry.
It's all right.
That's what I like about you.
It's been a while since I saw Father looking so lively.
I have something to tell you.
I haven't told anyone yet,
but the truth is,
I'm expecting a child.
Congratulations.
Well...
the one who's pregnant...
is Ko.
What?
I found out last month.
If my father-in-law finds out, I'm dead.
So I didn't tell anyone.
But when I came here, the situation changed.
Ina is pregnant, too.
Brother!
I'll be the father of two.
Congratulations!
Follow these instructions.
Yes, sir!
Father is back to his old self.
What's the matter?
We're changing tatami mats.
These were done yesterday.
Is it Father's order?
No, the Taiko's.
His order?
He came by this morning.
He tripped at the door sill.
He tripped?
He wanted it thicker because it's dangerous.
Is this where he tripped?
He didn't look well.
Don't tell anyone that.
I won't.
Summon Tokugawa.
I thought about it carefully.
From the moment I retire, until Hiroi reaches manhood,
the government, with the Tokugawa as lead,
will be run by the daimyos.
That has already been relayed to Sir Tokugawa.
What do you mean?
You have already ordered it.
Prior to that,
you were against entrusting the government to the daimyos,
and had told me to let the magistrates run it.
You may leave.
Genjiro, stay.
Yes, sir.
I can remember the past,
but not recent events.
You must be tired.
Have happy thoughts and rest.
Am I...
broken?
Of course not.
Am I going to die?
You're worrying too much.
I want to be alive until Sute reaches maturity.
It's not a matter of just being alive.
I have to be a father that Sute looks up to.
Please rest assured.
Sir Hiroi will follow your footsteps as he matures.
I don't want to die.
Taiko?
I don't want to die!
Isn't that what it means to grow old?
But it looks like he's getting worse by the day.
That's because you're pushing everything on him!
I'm sorry...
for raising my voice.
According to the doctor,
he will black out,
trip, and hit his head more often.
That may cause him to be bed-ridden.
I'll be watching him closely.
I admit, he seems to have aged with suddenly.
Going forward,
please let him spend as much time as possible with Sir Hiroi.
I don't know about that.
If possible, I want to distance Hiroi from him.
Why?
I don't want Hiroi to see him in a feeble state.
I want Hiroi to remember his father
as a dignified ruler.
I don't want Hiroi to see his old and miserable father.
I know how you feel, but please understand his feelings.
I am telling you this keeping his feelings in mind.
The Lady cherishes
Sir Hiroi's feelings above all else.
What is the Taiko's condition?
There is no change.
You can at least tell me the truth.
Why do you want to know the Taiko's condition?
I'm thinking about the future.
The future?
After the Taiko passes away.
Nothing will change.
even after he dies, his vassals, including Sir Ishida,
will protect Sir Hiroi.
I don't think so.
What are you expecting?
I don't know.
I don't know but...
I'm the Tokugawa's son-in-law.
If there should be war,
and siding with the Tokugawa benefits the Sanada,
I will unhesitatingly lend them my support.
You are too deeply involved with the Toyotomi.
You are serving the Taiko for the Sanada Clan.
Don't forget that.
Understood.
I'll ask you again.
What is his condition?
There is no change.
I want a detailed report on his condition from now on.
It's for the Sanada.
On June 27, 1596,
in the region of Kyoto, Osaka, and Sakai,
there appeared mysterious showers of ashes.
The people feared it as an omen of a natural disaster.
Then...
KEICHO-FUSHIMI EARTHQUAKE
In the early morning of July 13th, KEICHO-FUSHIMI EARTHQUAKE
a major earthquake with a magnitude 8.0,
struck Fushimi.
Regent!
Ina!
Are you all right? Are you?
You're alright. You're alright.
I'll be back as soon as I verify the Taiko's safety.
There are still after shock so please be careful.
I hope the Taiko is safe.
Where are you going?!
Are you worried about that woman?
Ready.
This earthquake destroyed
the tower of the nearly completed Fushimi Castle.
The construction had to start all over.
In July of 1596,
Taiko Hideyoshi's death was drawing near.
END OF EPISODE 29
By chance... Hideyoshi
If he pass away, the world will be swayed for sure.
Unexpectedly not shaken.. not swayed
You noticed...
It's all useless.
Flowers on dead tree. Careful...don't be irresponsible.
Tsuruga for a long time served as a busy port connecting the Hokuriku and Kyoto (Kyō)
This area was ruled by Ōtani Yoshitsugu
Yoshitsugu was devoted to the development of the town.
Here merchants and fishermen found a place for commerce and exchanges.
To the west side of the town Saifukuji.
Yoshitsugu was sick, to the priest of this temple...
this letter was sent.
It is difficult to recover, so seek a doctor.
Hearing about you, it is concerning to me.
In September during the Tsuruga Festival, this float was carried out....
with a warrior mannequin of Yoshitsugu and paraded through the town.
The local people loved Yoshitsugu.
He also made a major impact on Nobushige.
