I like the part where Ieyasu is meeting with Hojo Ujimasa and Ieyasu avoids Ujimasa's question whether he will submit to Hideyoshi. As we know, it was Ieyasu's armies under the authority of Hideyoshi that eventually destroyed the Hojo clan.owenandbenjaminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09474307542498791351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26681372.post-56121393526044176682009-08-03T12:20:21.025-07:002009-08-03T12:20:21.025-07:00I'm watching it in San Jose KTSF.I'm watching it in San Jose KTSF.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26681372.post-48363863984874930982009-06-29T07:26:21.687-07:002009-06-29T07:26:21.687-07:00I guess my image of samurai is that of a tough war...I guess my image of samurai is that of a tough warrior.

Guess which one is more interested? One thing I absolutely love is that a female narrator is the one who sets up the story. She's also the one who takes us to the modern day sites at the end of each episode. Personally, I don't think there's too much crying in the show. Having had a Japanese mother all my life, I know how emotional Japanese people are--even though they don't show it to strangers. Samurai lived together more like family than they did with their own families. So far, I've watched Shinsengumi, Yoshitsune, Atsuhime and Tenchijin. Atsuhime remains my, and my mother's husband's, favorite.<br /><br />Your Hip Hapa,<br />YayoiYour Hip Hapa,http://www.watermelonsushiworld.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26681372.post-76195314439481970022009-06-20T19:14:24.302-07:002009-06-20T19:14:24.302-07:00I am watching on Japan TV from Time Warner Cable c...I am watching on Japan TV from Time Warner Cable channel 607.

(She works for Honda, who pays for the English subtitles.) We missed a few episodes of TENCHIJIN due to digital reception probs, but we are back with it just in time to see Oda Nobunaga get his at Honno-ji.<br />The KSCI website is offline, so we cannot find out if they're showing TENCHIJIN at any other time besides 9:00PM on Saturdays. Can you help?<br /><br />jimlowerre@yahoo.comJim "Yukikaze" Lowerrenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26681372.post-58488997489268955352009-06-10T07:13:05.233-07:002009-06-10T07:13:05.233-07:00Those are some amazing opening scenes.Those are some amazing opening scenes.owenandbenjaminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09474307542498791351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26681372.post-50238312999107855392009-06-09T05:20:34.715-07:002009-06-09T05:20:34.715-07:00Yup, I'm watching over here.
