Where They Buried the Soul of Japan

Shogun! Not Emperor. You foolish self. Our first video! We re jetlagged and nervous but absolutely thrilled to be getting started on what we hope will be a truly useful series. The first thing we wanted to focus on in Japan is found at Sengakuji, a temple in the south of Tokyo whose graveyard harbours a very important story: the 47 Ronin. In many ways, it is the foundational legend of Japan. If nothing else, it is a testament to sustaining one s duty in the face of hardship, illegality, and fear. We hope you like it! Also - Please leave feedback! We always are happy to hear what resonates with you. If you aren t subbed, sub. If you are, please enjoy my implied gratitude.
