Youtube daily report w Jun 29 2017

Hey there.

I go back and forth on Europe's Protestant Reformation, which kicked off 500 years ago

this year.

But I have come back around, and I think it really does represent the birth of the Modern

World.

Let me explain.

The Reformation is part of the standard story of the Progress of Western Civilization.

Typically it's white washed as a courageous stand for individual conscience and freedom.

Our modern Enlightenment ideas of individual rights are supposed to have grown out of the

stand that people like Martin Luther and John Calvin took against the Catholic Church.

In the early 1900's German Sociologist Max Weber took it farther, arguing that there

was something called the Protestant Work Ethic that explained capitalism and the "natural

dominance" of Germanic and Anglo-Saxon cultures.

The closer I have looked into it, the more convinced I've become that this is largely

bullshit.

The true ideological successors of the Reformation aren't Bill Gates and Barack Obama, they

are Osama Bin Laden and Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi.

Yes, it's great that the power of the Catholic Church was broken, but it was broken because

these guys believed that religion should be more extreme, and should dominate life more

than it already did.

The reformation was not about freedom.

The followers of John Calvin in particular thought that everybody should live in a Theocracy.

Some protestants were just as happy to burn heretics as the Catholics were, and some were

even more bloodthirsty.

But the Reformation jihadis did bring us the modern world.

It was an unintended consequence, but it may be one of the most important things that has

ever happened.

The reformers believed that everyone should read the bible.

This meant that everybody should learn to read.

In 16th century Europe this was a pretty revolutionary concept.

Back then it was only a subset of priests, merchants and government officials who were

literate.

80 to 90 percent of everybody else worked the land, and there was no reason for them

to read.

From the 1500s on, certain rulers, most notably in Scandinavia, started to make broader literacy

a priority.

I've thought a lot about development lately, and I've become convinced that widespread

literacy is the most important thing that can happen to a country.

I love all eras of history, and have spent years studying ancient Rome, and Medieval

Europe.

But I sometimes question whether any history before widespread literacy really matters.

It's the ability to read and write that makes a person a real actor in society.

Knowledge really is power.

The story of the world before 1700 or so, in every country, may look different, but

it's basically the same thing.

Most of us human beings are agricultural laborers.

There's a small elite with all the power, and they squabble.

They fight over lands and people, and the suffering is often terrible.

New elites come out of the steppes, or across the seas, replace the old elites, increase

the suffering for a bit, introduce some new ideas, but never really improve things all

that much.

We like to romanticize these old Kings, Conquerors and Caliphs, but they are all really just

gangsters.

What changed all this was literacy.

Mass literacy gave us the world we know.

Mass literacy eventually led to mass politics, and makes power for a broader slice of people

possible.

Perhaps unwittingly the religious fanatics of the Protestant reformation set all this

in motion.

Places like Sweden and Switzerland are widely admired for their levels of development.

Their development leadership started because their rulers wanted everybody to read the

bible.

Weirdly, The unintended consequences of that choice made the modern world.

More on this soon.

11. La Stanza dei Mille Demoni - Duration: 4:51.

Once upon a time there was a special ceremony. A ceremony for enlightenment. Not lighting

of a room or something else, but perhaps the enlightenment of the mind or spirit.

Through this ceremony, it was possible by doing a specific action to immediately receive enlightenment.

Many Lamas attended this ceremony. Not the llamas you may think of,

not the animals, but the Tibetan priests. There was even the Dalai Lama and many students,

who knew that through this ceremony they could avoid the whole rigmarole of

death, reincarnation and all those passages that connect to the wheel of karma.

You had to make a precise action: it was necessary to enter the room of a thousand demons. They needed to

get in and get out. From the other side: get in by a door and exit through the other door. So,

you had to get across the entire room. Now, this ceremony, which took place every hundred years,

was attended by many students, though as soon as it was explained to them that once

they get into this room all the most terrible fears of theirs would materialize,

Some would immediately retire , because in this room demons had the ability to read

the deepest fears of the people and to materialize these fears in front of them. Because if

someone had been afraid of heights, then he would immediately find himself on top of

a mountain to look down, suspended, to suffer the torments of hell. If instead

he was afraid of spiders, then all the room would be filled with spiders

that would walk over him. And if he was afraid of losing a loved one,

He would surely see her die. So many retired because once you enter

in this room, behind the first door there wasn't any handle to help you get out. You needed

to get across the entire room and find the second door, the exit door. The handle

that would bring you to exit this room. And once inside, many were tortured

to death by these demons, by these fears. Only a few had managed to go through the whole

room. And these few had some advice. Some, in fact, had reported that you always had to

remember that no matter what they saw inside this room, it was

simply something not real, an illusion. And this could help some of

the brave students who remained. Another part had another piece of advice,

advice that could help the students who wanted to attempt. The piece of advice

was this. They had managed to get in and to get out of that room only by doing

this. Despite the monsters, despite the terror, despite the fears and the tortures

suffered in there, they had done this. They kept moving forward, therefore,

The piece of advice they gave to those who would have tested themselves was that. Keep moving

forward, don't stop, but keep moving forward. Eventually you'll find the exit door.

You will find the handle to turn in order to exit the room of a thousand demons. And the Dalai

Lama then, addressing the very few students remained, said: "And now who is

ready to enter the room of a thousand demons?"

I Viaggi dei miei sogni su 2 Ruote! Bike Travel Ideas/Dreams + Mini Poll [ENG SUB] - Duration: 10:10.

Hello Riders and Welcome from Your MadHorse!

before start video's topic

I want to apologize for being late with contents updates

But Unfortunately I was very busy recently: Work and University

Soon I'll have a bit more free time

and I will be able to get back on 2 wheels

weather is fine, so I will be able to go on MTB (If temperature doesn't hit Sahara degrees)

I'll go back on track too

I have some friends which want to try Ohvale and Pitbikes

and have some days of fun and riding with me

furthermore, I have a little news:

I don't know if You've watched previous Videos, if You Haven't, I suggest You to give a check ;)

on past I did some races of TORM

It's an event which gives the opprtunity to rent a "bike" and do a whole raceday (FP, Q and Races)

Bikes are: Ohvale Gp-0 (I did a small review about it), down sized bikes, extremely fun to ride

Lately I've skipped a lot of this events

one reason obviously are my personal tasks

the other reason (The Main) is my phisical issues to fit on a bike like this

Because I'm not a small guy (sometimes I've issues on some big bikes)

I'm tall 1.90 cm (I Weigh 95 Kilos nad bike has 8 HP)

So the main reason is: "Comfort"

Infact on late race I did, I had some troubles to finish race 2

Because both my arms fell asleep, even shoulders

so at last laps of the day it was very hard to manage to complete

But this time, TORM takes place on a track which I love

It's very challenging phisically but It's REALLY beautiful

It's Viterbo Circuit

and that's the only reason which make me want to go and ride again

on this kind of race, which will take place on 16th of July

but I'm really uncertain about what to do

so I'll turn question to You: Would You like to see me race on Ohvale again?

If answers will be positives, I'll do my best to try to take place on grid

without wasting any more time: Let's Head to the video's topic

Summer Time!

It's beach time, the sun shines

the weather is fine, so We start to ride more often on this season

and a lot of people, Riders and none, starts to travel

Infact as You can see from the title of this video, I want to share with You

some Bike Travel that I would love to do on Bike

I'll not be able to do these travels soon unfortunately

but the Ideas/Dreams still remain and almost one time in life I'll try to do these

I want to specify: This is not a Chart or a Top 5

these are only places that I would love to visit

without going so far

first roads and places which I want to visit

I strongly recomend to the foreign viewers which are watching this video or even following my channel by subscribing

to come to visit my country: Italy

because regadless some places, like Rome where the roads are something similar

to the lunar surface

so on some places asphalt sucks

but on other places here in Italy is very good and roads are amazing

and now I want to share 2 places which, for sure I'll visit

first of all, I would love to go at Sardinia

and now I'll explain my decision:

I had the pleasure to live it a bit on 2 wheels

unfortunately not on a motorbike but on MTB

I've watch some wonderful sights

and I really want to ride more roads on a Motorbike

Roads are extremely fun, I've loved specially Calagonone

and I had fun even doing those roads with a car

and there are a lot of Off Road possibilities

and with a bit more specific bike, it's possible to do some Enduro

and that's are the reasons because I want to visit it on a bike: Sights, wonderful roads and Off Road

and visit Sardinia and Corsica, where I've not been yet, but it should be similar to Sardinia

but it should make my travel more "complete"

because Sardinia has some kilometers, but not so much (It's not so big)

So i would love to do some more and with a small sail on a boat Corsica would be perfect

another place which I would Love to visit is:

Passo dello Stelvio (25 KM of Mountain roads and turns)

and continue to Austria or Switzerland

because there are some exceptional roads and place to visit

I want specify which in Italy there are more places good to visit and fun to ride

but these are 2 places which I'll love to visit a bit more

Let's go outside UE

to share another place which unites sea and mountain

The Isle fo Man, where TT takes place

I talked about it on some previous videos

and I want to go there to watch it

whoever went, described it like one of the most intense experience of Their Life, wonderful atmosphere and a lot of tradition

I want to go there

and live at max the whole experience and passion which goes around Road races

but there's more:

by going on bike on the Island, there's the possibility to try TT "circuit"

Circuit is a bit too much... the roads, after the event are open to traffic

and the Idea to pass, where They pass, is simply amazing

for sure my Pace would be very slow (There are other road users)

and a Road Racer with a pocket bike probably will be better than me

but that's an experience that I want to live

TT and Isle of Man are offcial scheduled in my "Must do activities"

for sure as a side viewer

obviously if I'll be able to go on bike I would be happier

I'd really love to do the "Silk Way"

or however visit some oriental places

Like: Nepal and Thailand

a lot of wonderful places to visit and cultures to meet

there are some sights simply amazing and Pure Nature

a lot of culture, with some wonderful temples

and there's the sea

Thailnad for example, with a wonderful sea

specially on some places far from the big cities

and other 2 places which I want to visit are...

South America and USA

at USA I would love to do a Coast to Coast travel

a really fascinating trip

beyond a historic kind of travel, a lot of people did it on car, hang-glider...

It's very interesting

maybe roads don't have so much turns

asphalt is good, but a lot of roads are straight

some good turn there's, but specially on Mountain zones

I don't know really, but obviously I'll do this trip to live "American Spirit"

and I would organize with adventure spirit

opposite speech, for South America

and maybe Asia too

about Asia I don't really know

but for sure for America Latina, I would get a Tour Guide or join a group

and I suggest to a lot of people to get one

specially at some places where You can comeback without a kidney

These are peculiar places, with a lot of criminal activity

in America Latina too, there are some wonderful roads

a lot of nature

nearby there's the Pluvial Forest

Honestly: I would Love to visit every single place in the world

but every Motorcyclist I think would love to do it

and before the close of the video

like every Sommelier, pairs with a Good Wine a specific meal

I want to pair a bike to these travel which I want to make

For Sardinia and Corsica

I would Take a revenant SWM, with the Dualsport 650

It's a bit an old Husqvarna

the Old Husqvarnas, not the actually take overed by KTM

it seems a great bike

some testers tried it and They seemed pretty pleased about it

so to live at max those places, that's my choice

For the Stelvio

I go a bit counter current

a lot of people would prefer a Sportbike

or a Motard... obviously are wonderful for that road

but if I'll go, starting from Rome

I would prefer a bike a bit more comfortable and my choice would be like a bike of friend of mine: Mirko

BMW S1000XR

So beautiful, to be stunning and with extremely high prestations

but with the right comfort for doing a long travel

for the Isle of Man

my choice will go for a supersport:

Honda CBR 60

and now it's asian time, I'd probably be loyal to 2 cilynder engine, of mine SV650

and I would take a Vstrom 650, with the new design like 1000 cc version

and now We've to pair South America and America

for America I would take an "Italian" manifacturer

and my choice will be the Ducati Multistrada

Ducati has an incredible Sell Market in USA

It did good even at some editions of Pikes Peak

and now remains South America

I'm really interested about a new bike

CRF 250 L Rally

a Dakar similar edition

and probably I would face America Latina on it

a light weight bike, not overpowered

and able to go everywhere

obviously, doing more stops and having an inferior pace depite "Big cc" bikes

These are my bike Ideas to pair to travels of my dreams

let's see if I'll be able to make dreams come true

these are dreams in the drawer

share with me Your Ideas of Travels

and suggest me some more destinations

share Your personal experiences and pair bikes to travels

and let me know what to do

by commeting below Video, if You want to see me race on Ohvale

Thanks for watching

How The Reformation Started the Modern World | Literacy I - Duration: 4:41.

Hey there.

I go back and forth on Europe's Protestant Reformation, which kicked off 500 years ago

this year.

But I have come back around, and I think it really does represent the birth of the Modern

World.

Let me explain.

The Reformation is part of the standard story of the Progress of Western Civilization.

Typically it's white washed as a courageous stand for individual conscience and freedom.

Our modern Enlightenment ideas of individual rights are supposed to have grown out of the

stand that people like Martin Luther and John Calvin took against the Catholic Church.

In the early 1900's German Sociologist Max Weber took it farther, arguing that there

was something called the Protestant Work Ethic that explained capitalism and the "natural

dominance" of Germanic and Anglo-Saxon cultures.

The closer I have looked into it, the more convinced I've become that this is largely

bullshit.

The true ideological successors of the Reformation aren't Bill Gates and Barack Obama, they

are Osama Bin Laden and Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi.

Yes, it's great that the power of the Catholic Church was broken, but it was broken because

these guys believed that religion should be more extreme, and should dominate life more

than it already did.

The reformation was not about freedom.

The followers of John Calvin in particular thought that everybody should live in a Theocracy.

Some protestants were just as happy to burn heretics as the Catholics were, and some were

even more bloodthirsty.

But the Reformation jihadis did bring us the modern world.

It was an unintended consequence, but it may be one of the most important things that has

ever happened.

The reformers believed that everyone should read the bible.

This meant that everybody should learn to read.

In 16th century Europe this was a pretty revolutionary concept.

Back then it was only a subset of priests, merchants and government officials who were

literate.

80 to 90 percent of everybody else worked the land, and there was no reason for them

to read.

From the 1500s on, certain rulers, most notably in Scandinavia, started to make broader literacy

a priority.

I've thought a lot about development lately, and I've become convinced that widespread

literacy is the most important thing that can happen to a country.

I love all eras of history, and have spent years studying ancient Rome, and Medieval

Europe.

But I sometimes question whether any history before widespread literacy really matters.

It's the ability to read and write that makes a person a real actor in society.

Knowledge really is power.

The story of the world before 1700 or so, in every country, may look different, but

it's basically the same thing.

Most of us human beings are agricultural laborers.

There's a small elite with all the power, and they squabble.

They fight over lands and people, and the suffering is often terrible.

New elites come out of the steppes, or across the seas, replace the old elites, increase

the suffering for a bit, introduce some new ideas, but never really improve things all

that much.

We like to romanticize these old Kings, Conquerors and Caliphs, but they are all really just

gangsters.

What changed all this was literacy.

Mass literacy gave us the world we know.

Mass literacy eventually led to mass politics, and makes power for a broader slice of people

possible.

Perhaps unwittingly the religious fanatics of the Protestant reformation set all this

in motion.

Places like Sweden and Switzerland are widely admired for their levels of development.

Their development leadership started because their rulers wanted everybody to read the

bible.

Weirdly, The unintended consequences of that choice made the modern world.

More on this soon.

12 IKEA Kitchen Ideas - Organize Your Kitchen With IKEA Hacks - Duration: 12:51.

When you want to give your basic furniture a personal touch, you can't go wrong with

DIY.

Need some inspiration?

These IKEA hacks will without a doubt help.

1.

Add Extra Drawers

Sometimes shelves just don't cut it.

Sure, they're great for storing tall appliances.

These IKEA-hacked drawers allow you to customize your pantry as you see fit.

2.

Wrangle Under-the-Counter Space

While these tin cans were originally created to hold spatulas and serving spoons.

Use adhesive tabs to hang them on the inside of your cabinet so they're easy to reach.

3.

Store Extra Pantry Items

The RASKOG cart is handy in just about every room and in the kitchen it's a convenient

place to store overflowing pantry foods, like popcorn kernels and soda.

4.

Make a Bonus Island

The IKEA BILLY Bookcase is kind of like the open shelving version of an island.

The back it totally exposed and reveals organized compartments for baking supplies, books, and

even snacks.

5.

Treat Cookbooks Like Wall Art

Floating picture frame rails are strong enough to display your favorite cookbooks on kitchen

walls.

We think the gorgeous covers make a supremely delicious statement.

6.

Make Room for Guests

If your kitchen space is tight and you don't want to keep four clunky, full-size chairs

at your table, don't.

These BEKVAM Stepstools are the perfect seat in a pinch, and tuck under the table when

not in use.

7.

Hang Herbs

This IKEA wine bottle holder can store a lot more than your favorite reds and whites: Squeeze

pint glasses with your favorite herbs into the compartments to make a DIY hanging garden.

8.

【UTAU】 Puzzle 【Masami Honoka】 - Duration: 4:30.

Since when did our hands start drifting apart?

Even the words we speak were lost

I look at your side when we walk together

I just didn't make it obvious

The meaning of those tears flowing down your cheeks

This stupid me still don't know

On your back that walks away

I only whispered "I'm sorry"

In the puzzle-like future we have assembled

The piece we have lost, I wonder where it belonged

In the midst of loneliness, this tainted heart

Floats on a pure white void

In this room where only emptiness remains

Are your memories that gently go around

The days stretch like rubber

We were laughing with a hoarse voice

The shape of my heart that had changed

You forcibly try to adapt it to you but

It hurts; it is painful. You wound it

In the midst of loneliness, this tainted heart

Floats on a pure white void

In this room where only emptiness remains

They gently go around

Let's find our shapes

Even if we won't be in the same world

The pieces of the days we laughed and embraced

Hold them tight in your sleep

Taylor Swift Now - Ep.2: "Blank Space" Behind the Scenes - Duration: 3:56.

I think it start disintegrating into something crazy you know. - Yes.

Like maybe it's like it says Sean but then underneath it

you can see like Roy.

It felt like that you wrote other names underneath it.

So cool.

The rest of it we will have CG.

Scream.

Keep going.

That girl is insane.

Oh, it's so great.

So the songs 'Blank Space' is a song

that I wrote a little bit from comedic perspective.

I try to stay pretty self-aware about

you know, who I actually am.

And also pretty aware of what the media's depiction of me is.

And so I've seen all the different rumors that have come and gone and it's kind of

developed over the years, developed into this reputation

for being somewhat of a crazy serial dater,

needy, clingy, manipulative person.

So I was thinking a lot about that.

I was thinking about that reputation.

I just thought you know what, what if I was that girl.

What song would I write? So I wrote Blank Space.

Joseph Khan is one of my favorite directors

because his videos are so so creative.

And you always see him using his creative mind

to make the artist go out of their comfort zones.

so I sent him all these reference shots, photos that I've seen of

mansions and people in love and mansions.

And then I sent pictures of crazy psychotic girlfriends

Like crying, Mascara and tantrums.

Walked him through what I thought would be a cool idea.

His ideas that he came up with just amped it up even more.

And what we ended up with is this video about this girl

who basically gives you the best first part of a relationship.

And then all of a sudden you realize there is just one problem.

She's absolutely psychotic.

That's what this video is about.

With American Express, we've been able to create something

that I've never been able to give my fans before

which is a 360-degree interactive experience

where they're getting to explore the story land of our video.

And be in the room with us.

So, Sean, what's gonna happen is we're gonna walk in. You're gonna sit down.

I'm gonna put your napkin on your lap.

And kind of like, you know, have a nice feel.

I'm gonna slowly walk around the table.

Pick up my drink and cheers to you.

You take a drink and then when you look out I'm leaving the room.

This video experience is really fun

because we can hide things in the rooms

for fans to look at and to see.

I think that us coming together and figuring this out

as a gift for the fans, like thank you for being so amazing

Here's an in-depth look at what we've been doing

We did all of this for them.

You know it's extra shooting. It's extra setups.

This amazing 360-technology.

And hopefully the fans will like it and have fun with it

because it's really hilarious to make.

Check it out!

Oh my god.

This is incredible.

I love Game & Watch games!

I remember the old stands. Look at these old stands, put them on the stand and play with them.

I think the stand was there because you could use it as a watch as well.

Oh yes! I'm looking at these ones here and I never had one of these.

These I'm not familiar with. I haven't seen these before.

It's called a tabletop. Yep & that's a tabletop collection.

I think a lot of people remember when they were a kid, they had one or two.

Everyone had a donkey kong a little Mario.

Oh yeah that's for sure I definitely remember

having parachute that was a great game. I had Mickey Mouse,

Mickey with the frying pans trying to catch the eggs out of the chicken coup.

yeah yep

I remember that now!

That was a hard game. That was a really hard game, I struggled with that one.

I mean my first one was the Ball. My dad bought this for me

right back in it was1980's or very early eighties.

The Ball was actually one of the first ones that were released

and I never could get my hands on it because

he sat on the toilet playing it for hours and hours and hours..

Documentary 2017 | History of Japan, A Secret Empire | History Channel Film - Duration: 59:46.

Documentary 2017 Documentary 2017 Japan

the Japanese have rites and ceremonies so different from those of all other

nations the things they do are beyond imagining and it may be truly said that

Japan is a world the reverse of Europe to the first Westerners in Japan it was

a mysterious world it was the fabled Isle of zipangu that Marco Polo had only

heard about the land of reaches that Christopher Columbus set out to find

when the Portuguese arrived in Japan in 1543 they encountered a country

embroiled in civil war out of this chaos one samurai warrior would emerge he

would create a regime so strong it endured for over 250 years witnesses to

this world both Western observers and Japanese roted these changing times

there's is a story of flowering culture a poetic ritual and of rigid power

struggles it is the saga of opening trade with Europe and then closing its

doors to the west

these are the memoirs of Japan's secret Empire

on the 25th day of the eighth month of the year out the water and hair there

appeared off our western shore a big shoe no one knew whence it had come as a

Buddhist monk later recounted samurai guards were quickly dispatched to warn

their master there were strangers on board these ships unlike anyone the

Japanese had ever seen the local warlord called a daimyo summoned these strangers

the first Europeans to ever set foot on Japanese Shores it was the year 15 43

when these Portuguese merchants arrived the daimyo was intrigued by their

peculiar unknown weapons the Japanese always liked novel things new things

fared so to speak and so they were very very interested in the Europeans

after he watched the Portuguese shoot down a duck the daimyo purchased two

guns and put his swordsmith to work making copies then he asked for shooting

lessons these first Europeans their guns and their religion would have

unforeseeable consequences

in this same year a boy was born to a daimyo family he would be known as

Tokugawa Ieyasu his destiny would be to change Japan forever as an elite member

of the samurai class the boy inherited a world of tradition a feudal realm of

samurai warriors who ruled by birthright and soared the son of a daimyo Lord

Ieyasu would soon have to give up children's games for the politics of war

when Yasir was still a child the ruling daimyo demanded that ei Osos father send

the young boy to him as a hostage insurance that all orders would be

obeyed when children were taken as hostages it did not mean prisoners this

was all part of the political negotiation in which our alliances had

to be formed because no one trusted no one else so there had to be guarantee

and therefore that hostage was used as a hostage the young samurai boy travelled

in the style befitting his daimyo rank

he could not know his destiny nor could he know that he would never see his

father again he would grow up a hostage his life captive to the turmoil of civil

war the whole of Japan was involved in Wars treachery was rampant and nobody

trusted his neighbor they would enter into league with one faction and then

deserted for another as the winds of Fortune blew

while Rodriguez and I witness to these perilous times was one of the first

Portuguese to arrive in Japan he came as a cabin boy of 15 and would soon become

a Jesuit missionary

as Portuguese merchants traversed the oceans in search of new ports for trade

Jesuit missionaries accompanied them searching for souls to save

the Jesuits were young and dedicated braving the hardships of the dangerous

two-year voyage to reach Japan a country which they considered ripe for

conversion

they sent home tantalizing reports of an alien world everything is so different

an opposite that they are like us and practically nothing

now all this would not be surprising if they were like so many barbarians but

what astonishes me is that they behaved as very prudent and cultured people in

all these matters this is something which I would not dare to affirm if I

had not had so much experience among them the missionaries thought that the

Japanese were such a remarkable race their culture was so developed that it

was worthwhile writing back to Europe about the culture which they found the

language the Japanese spoke and a very complex political system without any

influence from Christianity without any influence from Europe and so I think

this is a thing which one should bear in mind that this was the first time

Europeans dealt with Asians on equal terms and not as conquerors and

conquered people their way of writing is very different from ours because they

write from the top of the page down to the bottom I asked a Japanese why they

did not write in our way and he asked me why we did not write in their way he

explained that as a head of a man is at the top and his feet are at the bottom

so - a man should write from top to bottom during his more than 30 years in

Japan jewelle rodriguez became so fluent in Japanese he became known as the

interpreter

his work allowed him to observe all levels of society from the highest

daimyo warlords to the lowest Japanese farmer every class of person Noble or

humble uses a fan throughout the whole kingdom people who have business matters

and other things which they wish to remember write them down on their fans

they are always carrying these fans about in their hands

opening them shutting them and looking at them nobody would go out into the

street without one

the Japanese schwa Rodriguez observed regarded the Europeans with equal

fascination they greatly wondered that our big and long noses thick beards and

red or fair hair and considered all these things as so many defects they

called them the southern barbarians which is not a very flattering term

their eating habits were rather different the Japanese were so polite

eating with chopsticks etc whereas in those days Europeans normally yet with

just a knife and with your fingers and then of course the Japanese most the

Japanese take a bath every day whereas Europeans I'm afraid in those days when

for months and months and months without taking a bath and to some extent they

deserved the epithet of barbarians but however they were regarded the

missionaries were determined to stay in Japan our only desire was to preach and

proclaim the law of the Creator even if there were only one Japanese Christian

in the whole country any missionary would spend all his life

here just for the sake of that one person

these men were very very zealous and the conditions were rather good for the

conversion of people to Christianity

when you have bloodshed revolutions fighting battles death in large numbers

obviously people's thoughts do tend to go to the next life in little more than

50 years these missionaries established over 200 Catholic churches primarily in

southern Japan and converted up to a quarter million Japanese

when a Japanese Lord or Japanese daimyo changed his religion he would bring

pressure on his people because he had absolute power of life and death on the

people below him and so you got in a relatively short short period of time a

large-scale conversions but there was another factor that some of the daimyo

when they became Christian they had certain considerations of Commerce in

the back of their mind because where the missionaries went the Portuguese

merchants went and the Portuguese merchants offered very profitable trade

feasibly Japanese

Commerce and religion intertwined some Japanese profited while others watched

with growing concern convinced of Christianity's threat to their power

merchants and missionaries these early Europeans have set a course which would

eventually run into unexpected consequences to endure the rigors of

never-ending training to remain clear minded in the face of grave danger to

face death matter-of-factly this is the art of kendo the way of the sword master

swordsmen taught young samurai the skills of sword fighting and the

traditions of a samurai code of honor

this was the education the young EARC would receive even as a hostage when you

took a hostage in a certain place they were usually treated very cordially and

they were given education just as they would be given atone

he probably had a very stoic Spartan kind of education taught military skills

martial arts and Chinese classics Japanese classics the entire life of yes

was that of patience and forbearance people say the young hostage Tokugawa

Ieyasu would learn what it meant to be a samurai adopter stands with the head

erect either hanging down nor looking up nor twisted do not roll your eyes nor

allow them to blink but slightly narrow them brace your abdomen so that you do

not bend at the hips

a legendary swordsman Miyamoto Musashi would preserve the way of the samurai in

a classic book the Five Rings it was a guide to strategy its philosophy

embraced in Japan even to this day in all forms of strategy it is necessary to

maintain the combat stance in everyday life and to make your everyday stance

your combat stance at age 15 Yasu entered manhood and earned the

right to carry the two swords of the samurai Patenaude do you know ah we

don't even know shoujo the sword was the symbol of the samurai class only the

samurai were authorized to carry two swords a large one and a small one a

samurai with these two swords ruled over the farmer and the merchant you're born

into being a samurai it's a responsibility amongst the

responsibilities of being a song I was always carrying one sword to use to

enact justice if somebody were rude to you it was your duty to kill them but

still no saman it would walk around outside without a sword and if they were

caught without a sword they could be punished for not upholding their duty

while the samurai class comprised less than 10% of the population their

presents loomed larger than life even the missionaries wrote as it for samurai

with a whole of society they carry a sword and dagger both inside and outside

the house and lay them at their pillows when they sleep never in my life have I

met people who rely so much on their arms they are very warlike and are

always involved in Wars and thus the ablest man becomes their greatest Lord

it was not only the men who swore to uphold this ideal samurai women were

also trained to protect their family the most important thing about samurais

daughters or wives was never to forget the honor and the pride as samurais

daughter in crisis there had to be prepared to kill themselves rather than

be ashamed disgraced by the enemies

the samurai defended his home and family but his true glory came on the

battlefield defending his lord against enemies the samurai dressed carefully

for combat the finely stitched fabric and leather appeared elegant even

fragile unseen were the tightly woven plates of Steel much like his protective

armor a warrior's refined appearance concealed his impenetrable inner core

this ethic preserved in writings of the samurai would prepare the warrior to

meet life and death with honor our samurai would wash himself with cold

water every morning sent the shaven top of his head in hair with incense to make

himself presentable he was ready to be killed in battle at any moment cherry

blossoms are often compared to the samurai they're a beautiful sight like

the warrior in his shiny armor but it takes only one big storm for the petals

to fall to the ground just like the warrior in battle

for Samurai as important as knowing how to kill was knowing how and when to die

in the battlefield especially your last moment of life you

have to show your control the controlling your body controlling your

destiny faith is the vindication indication of

your internal strength so it's a last moment that you have to stage your dis

seppuku or harakiri is the ritual of suicide as practiced by samurai samurai

warrior carried two swords on his hip a long one and a short one the short sword

was for cutting open his abdomen why would a somewhat I could open his

abdomen well Japanese especially samurai believed that the heart was in the belly

they believe that whether their heart was pure or impure would be revealed

when they disemboweled themselves from the death poem to the final thrust of

the dagger seppuku is a ceremonial ritual of suicide ensuring an honorable

death

jawoll rodriguez wrote of a man who committed the ritual of seppuku

the samurai dressed in the customary white kimono solemnly and with great

dignity mounted a raised platform then in a loud voice he told them to watch

him carefully as he cut himself open

he seated himself and wrote his will slowly and calmly asking his Lord to

look after his son and family for he was going to die on account of his honor

he bade farewell and then in front of them all he fearlessly cut his belly and

so he died this sort of thing often happens

there is timing in everything timing in strategy cannot be mastered without a

great deal of practice there is timing in the whole life of the warrior in his

thriving and declining in his harmony and Accord these are the enduring

principles which guided the life of the samurai warrior for Tokugawa Ieyasu

patience strategizing would become his most powerful weapon

he was now of age 18 years old and married with two children but he was

still a hostage of the ruling daimyo warlord

as time passed EOS has strengthened his skills as a warrior fighting alongside

his daimyo Master when his master was killed in battle he a ASSA was finally

free to determine his own destiny yes was put in a position to have to make a

decision at some point whether to go along with the hostess family but at all

times he never forgot his ambition to go back to his original castle and to

regain all the territory that his father's family had and to expand and to

go back to his retainers who were faithfully waiting for

Ieyasu reclaimed his title as an independent Lord a daimyo

he returned to his family estate he could now fight on his own terms for his

own people

I fought against my enemies solely in order that I might take my revenge on my

father's adversaries because I was convinced of the rightness of my

intention to help the people and bring peace to the land the years of captivity

had honed his discipline according to his samurai training he now carefully

plotted his strategy

in a crucial move Ieyasu allied himself with the man who killed his daimyo

Master Oda Nobunaga

Nobunaga had become the most powerful warlord in Japan feared and ruthless the

missionary Asia while Rodriguez documented Nobunaga's campaign to unify

Japan Nobunaga was the first to begin cutting

through the thick forest of wars and discord in Japan he subdued about half

the country and fear of him made the remaining part ready to obey Him in

anything

in the Battle of Naga Shino Nobunaga armed 3,000 of his foot soldiers three

ranks deep

as 10,000 enemy warriors charged Nobunaga's Musketeers fired in

succession decimating the opposing army

Nobunaga's innovations in the use of firearms completely changes the face of

samurai warfare the old idea was where you would have two samurai meet on the

field of battle they would shout out their names and their lineages where

they were from sometimes one would ride out in front of all these troops and and

challenge someone to come and defeat him so it was it was very manly it was

imbued with the ideal of valor

now you have faceless ranks of samurai shooting other faceless ranks of samurai

Nobunaga continued to amass power until one night treachery within his inner

circle caught him off guard a missionary was near by some Christians came just as

I was vesting to say an early Mass and told me to wait because there was a

commotion in front of the palace with once began to hear musket shots and see

flames we learned that it had not been a brawl

but that one of his generals had turned traitor some say he cut his belly while

others believe that he set fire to the palace and perished into flames

what we do know however is that of this man who made everyone trembled not only

at the sound of his voice but at the mention of his name they did not remain

even a small hair which was not reduced to dust and ashes as the flames burned

Nobunaga's loyal general Toyotomi Hideyoshi seized the moment

Hideyoshi immediately springs into action murdering the murderer of his own

lord which then gives him the new right in essence to claim leadership of

Nobunaga's vast coalition of armies

ei arson watched from a distance would he subordinate himself to Hideo she's

command or was it time to fight for control

Nobunaga Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Ieyasu these were the men who would bring an

end to the brutal civil wars they would go down in history as the unifiers

there's a story in Japanese that explains the character of the three

unifiers and Nobunaga Hideyoshi and das who are watching a cuckoo bird waiting

for it to sing but the bird doesn't sing and Nobunaga says little bird if you

don't sing I will kill you and Hideo she says little bird if you don't sing I'll

make you sing and he asked her says little bird if you don't sing I'll wait

for you to sing an da asif is a patient strategist who will wait for things to

go his way and then he'll act after Nobunaga's death

Ieyasu and Hideyoshi faced off in a measured game of strategy each in his

own way trying to outsmart the other Boojum pastino dee da silva missile Cara

same point that as a military leader Ieyasu was a courageous man who never

hesitated in battle however though he was brave he was also cautious one

famous story the acid was known as an excellent Horseman one day he and his

troops had to cross a very narrow bridge over a raging river

everyone was watching to see how the great Hiaasen would ride his horse over

this dangerous bridge to his men surprise

he also dismounted took the horses reins in his hands and carefully led the horse

over the bridge to the other side of the river

that's how vigilant he was I believe this kind of caution helped him to be

victorious in battle while ei us who practiced restraint and careful

strategizing Hideyoshi acted quickly and decisively Hideyoshi was from peasant

stock the son of a lowly foot soldier he worked his way up through the ranks

Hideyoshi became known as a brilliant general and he held the same grand

vision of himself when my mother conceived me she was given a miraculous

omen on the very night that I was born the room was suddenly aglow with

sunlight thirst changing night today finally they divined the child whose

birth was attended by these miracles was destined to become a man of unusual

attainment this prediction is fulfilled in me shortly after Hideyoshi took

control Ieyasu challenged him but EA us who soon realized there was more to be

gained as he died oh she's a lie then as his enemy

Hideyoshi rewarded Yasu for his loyalty with a vast domain of land and ordered

him to make his headquarters in the remote fishing village of Edo 300 miles

east of Hideo she's Castle in Osaka some might have thought the gift and insult

but in Edo the village that would later become Tokyo ea also busied his troops

building a massive five-story castle fortification

within the walls of the city of Osaka Hideyoshi was consumed with fortifying

his own castle reputed to be the most impregnable fortress of its time it was

also one of the most ostentatious

osaka castle had a strategic location close to the emperor's palace in nearby

kyoto for centuries the emperor had remained a ruler in name only ignored by

those who truly held power he wild away his days with court gossip calligraphy

and poetry by EI haces time the court is still powerless but it is only the court

which can appoint the children so in the ultimate symbolic sense the court is

still the arbiter of final resort that's why all the Warlord's are aiming for

Kyoto you have to get the Emperor to recognize that you're the most powerful

of all of the combatants on the field of battle

Hideyoshi curried the Emperor's favor inviting him to no plays and musical

performances but the emperor would not grant this warrior of peasant stock the

title of Shogun

Yasu never relinquished his desire for power he offered the emperor more than

invitations he arranged the marriage of one of his granddaughter's to the

Emperor's son all of the lords in Japan used family to cement political

alliances you would marry off daughters or area of sons what he a ass who did in

particular was have an abundance of sons that he could use he could set them up

to support his nascent government he could set them up as independent

military lords that he could then call upon for help in contrast ei haces rival

Hideyoshi failed to produce a male heir

finally he adopted a nephew and groomed him as his successor then at sixty years

of age Hideyoshi finally fathered a son of his own he called him Heda Yuri and

he was the jewel of his life Hideo she's thoughts now turned to the safety and

survival of his young son I cannot describe the endless tedium as if I were

guarding an empty house when he day Ori is not here with me

I say again strictly ordered that all be vigilant against fire each night have

someone make the rounds of the rooms two or three times as Hideyoshi obsessed

over his own son his adopted son now an adult was in peril it's clear that by

the end of his life he do she was acting more and more erratically he became

increasingly cruel if not sadistic then when he finally in his final years

produced an air of his own he ordered this adult male who had been his heir to

commit suicide

Hideyoshi then ordered his adopted sons entire family put to death a missionary

recounted they were drawn along the streets in the carts the open view of

the world 31 ladies and gentlewomen with the two sons and one daughter of his

adopted son the oldest of whom was not more than five years old

all their bodies were thrown into a pit before which was built a little chapel

with a two-minute with this inscription the tomb of the traitors soon after he

died Oh sheez health began to fail he wrote his death poem as the do I fall

has the zhuhai vanish even Osaka fortress is a dream within a dream

Hideyoshi then called Yasu and four of the most powerful

daimyo to his deathbed he appointed them legal protectors of his five-year-old

son he died Orie his heir and the future ruler of Japan

dar su pledged to protect the boy with his own life a pledge that would become

very difficult to keep

it is said that war is a curse it is resorted to only when it is inevitable

however in time of peace do not forget the possibility of disturbances Ieyasu

was on guard those daimyo who feared his growing power began to plot against him

ei haces territory now extended throughout most of Japan he was

determined to maintain his holdings and expand his base of power one of the

asses nicknames is the old badger and it reflects his craftiness as well as his

famed ability to wait and he waits until after Hideo she is dead until he has a

clear preponderance of power and then makes his move to become the dominant

military leader in Japan

ei us who mobilized his troops he sent one division to ogaki castle where his

enemies were gathering when the battle began women and children rushed to

safety EAS is sent a large force to lay siege to the castle and they fought day

and night one of the young girls at the castle later told her family of the

terrifying experience those concubines and daughters all stayed in the tower

and cast bullets on the spot it was a cruel sight indeed it was we felt as if

we should die there was nothing but fear and horror left as the battle wore on

heads of slain warriors were brought to the castle to be prepared for the ritual

presentation to the victor it was believed that even in death the samurai

should be viewed as a worthy opponent those people who are in the castle would

watch the heads and they'll put some cosmetics on the face of the dead

corpses because they were proof of having killed someone important that was

part of them there is no part of what they did which is inconceivable to you

know as modern people know more than women all the decapitated heads were

brought into the tower we weren't a bit afraid of the heads and used to sleep in

the midst of the nasty smell of bloody heads

victorious that ogaki castle ei haces troops now pursued the rebellious daimyo

and their armies

they faced off in a narrow Valley just west of the village of Sekigahara this

would be the battle that changed the course of Japanese history yay us who

set up his command post atop a hill overlooking the valley waiting through

the night for the rest of his armies to arrive at dawn ei haces attendant

physician hastily noted in his journal slight rain dense fog in the mountain

valley can't see barely made out enemy banners on horseback Lord Ieyasu made

out their positions estimate distance at two and a half miles ei ASSA was

outnumbered with only 50,000 troops challenging his enemies 80,000 he waited

for his son to arrive with reinforcements

but at 8:00 in the morning the fog suddenly lifted and the two opposing

armies found themselves within striking distance

Yasu could wait no more rallying his troops it was said he sent them forward

with his famous battle cry there are only two ways to come back from the

battlefield with the head of an enemy or without your own

ei arson watched as his troops faced what seemed insurmountable odds

then suddenly the tide turned several enemy daimyo and their armies convinced

of he asses ultimate victory defected and joined EAS whose forces by 2 p.m.

EAS whose troops had defeated the rebellious army

so stick sticking out amigo kagura's victory at Sega Hara brought an end to

the warring States and signaled the beginning of a new era that's the

significance of the Battle of Sekigahara

in recognition of Ieyasu's power the Emperor awarded him the title of Shogun

the Barbarian subduing Generalissimo Tokugawa Ieyasu now had the authority to

rule Japan in all military matters

he ruled unchallenged but always there was the specter of Hideyoshi's young son

he de re growing up in Osaka Castle Ieyasu had sworn with his life to

protect the boy the boy who could someday lay claim to

all Ieyasu had won as the young boy he died or II approached manhood a daimyo

warned although he is neither Yoshi's heir

yes who will never let him ruin pen sooner or later some ambitious character

will foment rebellion in his name and even if he already knows nothing about

it he will be blamed have forced to commit suicide to the grief of

Hideyoshi's ghost now the tofu gods had no divine right to rule Japan they ruled

Japan because they were the most powerful they had the most money they

had the most soldiers but they had no divine right and there were many other

powerful daimyo especially in the West the Christian daimyo and so if there

were any philosophy and a political movement that would bring these Dino

together as a coalition against the Tokugawa family that was very dangerous

Tokugawa Ieyasu tolerated no dissent he expelled many of the foreign

missionaries including schwow Rodriguez

yes who wanted to clear the board of all these foreign influences which were just

maddening the waters making life more complicated he even ordered all

Christian activity among the Japanese halted but still he faced the only true

threat to his power the young-hee day Orie

by the time he reaches adulthood he D or e can no longer be ignored by yeah so

he's a threat simply because he exists he is the legitimate heir of Hideyoshi

yay ah sue is supposed to be supporting him until he until he becomes an adult

and he poses an intrinsic threat to the legitimacy of the tokugawa shogunate ei

us who came to but one conclusion he could no longer honor his pledge to a

dead ally to protect his son he I also decided to go into battle once more it

was obviously going to be another showdown and the many many many samurai

in their thousands and these were hard bitten warriors they still owed loyalty

to Hideyoshi's family and of course they owed just as much loyalty to his son so

they gathered in Osaka Castle and also Castle was a very very very strong

castle it was considered impregnable

in the winter of 1614 ei ah so accused he de re of subversion and ordered his

troops to advance against Osaka Castle

he D re supporters nearly 100,000 held strong

dar su retaliated with a devious plan he sent a woman samurai to negotiated

truce with he diores mother

Ieyasu offered a safe haven for he de horas

garrison if in return he agreed not to mount further rebellion against EA haces

rule to prove his intentions EA us who signed the pledge in blood he de auras

mother convinced her son to accept the offer var Sue's ploy had worked as soon

as the fighting stopped Ieyasu began to fill in the mouths of

obstacle course of the deep moves and the people in the osaka castle protested

a lot that was not in the agreement but that didn't matter they filled in the

moats and once the moats were filled in then ieyasu's troops would storm into

the castle and there was a dreadful slaughter

thousands of defeated soldiers women and children fled the casstle compound

a European merchants recorded the event in his journal we had news today that de

Yasu hath taken the fortress of Osaka and overthrown the forces of Hideyori

they say the taking of this fortress has cost about 100,000 lives and that no

dead man of account is found with his head on but all cut off

yeaaaah Sue's army set the castle on fire

as the flames raged around him he de re refused to surrender and was left with

no other option he committed seppuku

there's one big problem with killing udre however and that's that

eyassa was supposed to be his supporter and it's a very realistic cold-blooded

strategy but he wanted to establish a dynasty that would last through the ages

there is reason to believe that yay ah so genuinely regretted having to kill

the son of his former Lord Yasuo is said to have paid penance by writing the name

of the Buddha 10,000 times on Scrolls of parchment

tokugawa ieyasu had wiped out the last threats to his power or so it seemed but

not everyone was under his control there were the Western traders who he valued

but mistrusted and the Christians who he considered a threat Tokugawa Ieyasu had

won the wars his struggle to control the future of Japan had just begun
