If you have studied about Japanese history before, I’m sure you've learned that Japan has been ruled by the Imperial Family and also the “shogun.” The shogun was the samurai leader of Japan that ruled for more than 700 years. ...But how could two authorities exist in history at the same time? What was the relationship between the Imperial family and the shogun? Why didn’t one just defeat the other in order to become the one and only leader? So today, as a Japanese man that has been studying Japanese history for more than 10 years, I will explain about the history of the Imperial Court and the shogunate (the shogun’s government), and also take a closer look at their relationship throughout history. This video will be perfect for those who are studying about Japanese history and culture, to have a clearer image on how Japan came to be how it is today. ●[Omake talk] Why the top samurai was called "shogun" even after North East Japan was conquered https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ylUl0GkphYQ [Time codes] 0:00 Let's START! 1:33 The history of the Emperor/Imperial Court 5:44 The history of the shogun/shogunate 13:52 The wars between the Imperial Family and shogunate 24:48 Today's conclusion ▼Who is Shogo?
