The priest is pregnant with Sadako and has friction with Emperor Ichijo.

In 996 AD (the second 12 months of Chotoku), Nakamiya Sadako (Takahata Mitsuki) lower her hair and left the court docket because of the scandal of her brother Chotoku. The son of Emperor Ichijo (Shiono Hidehisa) lives in her stomach. Following her father Michitaka, her mom Takako additionally died. Her elder brother Ishu and youthful brother Takaie had been each banished to distant international locations. She fell into despair, and her mom’s household, the Takain household, mightn’t depend on her.

She even hid her being pregnant from the emperor as a result of she was afraid she might be cursed. Nonetheless, when your being pregnant is regarding to finish, it’s not the time to run and conceal. All I can do is enchantment to Michinaga, “Please use your energy because the left minister to guard this little one.”

Even the smart Emperor Ichijo mightn’t stay calm following studying that his beloved Sadako was pregnant. He stated, “I’ll go to Takamiya (the place Sadako is)” and “Name Sadako once more to the Imperial Palace.” No.

Nonetheless, Michinaga didn’t give in, saying, “(If the Emperor and Sadaka meet), there shall be no disagreements within the court docket,” and “Please take into account the soundness of the court docket first.” On the finish of the 12 months, Sadako gave start to a toddler. Any longer, the fragile rigidity between Emperor Ichijo and Michinaga will proceed for a very long time. For some time, the connection between the 2 and its evolution will turn into the principle axis of the story. Finally, Michinaga’s daughter Akiko and Mahiro are additionally concerned.

Masahiro encounters “Echizen Washi” and its high-quality brushstrokes

Tametoki and Mahiro arrived on the Echizen capital. As anticipated, talking of the daughter of the primary savior of the nation, the room was magnificent. Nothing can evaluate to Miyako’s home. Plainly somebody is accompanying you. The great thing regarding the surroundings can also be a spotlight.

In comparison with the gorgeous furnishings, Shinhiro valued the paper extra. I picked it up instantly.

They will need to have been impressed by the superbly designed, delicate paper. I can write a poem very quickly. This can be a track by Murasaki Shikibu, included in “The Better of Murasaki Shikibu”.

On a cloudy day, if the waves recede within the night, will probably be a floating boat.

“The sky was darkish, the waves had been tough, calling for a bathe, and the boat floating on the waves was uneasy.” (Excerpt from the brand new wave of Japanese classical literature “Murasaki Shikibu Diary, Murasaki Shikibu Assortment”)

This poem was most likely written to commemorate the stormy climate skilled at Lake Biwa whereas touring between Miyako and Echizen. And the paper that Shinhiro touched was almost definitely Echizen Washi, the pleasure of Echizen Province. Talking of Echizen Washi, it has a 1,500-year custom and is taken into account the oldest Japanese Washi. It was additionally taken into the court docket from a younger age. Right this moment, it’s nonetheless actively produced in Echizen Metropolis, the previous capital of Japan, and is famend for its top quality and various designs. There may be additionally a preferred spot for vacationers referred to as “Echizen Washi no Sato”.

Otaki Shrine, an essential cultural heritage with a deep connection to Japanese paper

It’s stated that 1,500 years in the past, a goddess appeared upstream of the river that flows by way of the world and taught individuals the artwork of papermaking. Folks revered this goddess as “Kawakami Gozen” and worshipped her as a deity. She continues to be enshrined at Okada Shrine and Otaki Shrine within the metropolis. It isn’t identified from historic sources whether or not Murasaki Shikibu really touched Echizen washi or wrote a poem, however contemplating the circumstances on the time, when washi manufacturing had already turn into Echizen’s most important trade, there’s a excessive chance that he had a reference to Echizen washi. Echizen is pure. I’m trying ahead to what sort of story Shizuka Oishi will depict round washi and Shinhiro.

Selling commerce with Japan was a nationwide situation within the Track Dynasty

The Echizen part of “To You Who Shine” additionally delves into the connection between the Track Dynasty and Japan. What was the state of affairs in East Asia at the moment?

East Asia within the tenth and eleventh centuries (Supply: Tsukahara Japanese Historical past Studio)

Based on the Fukui County Chronicle and different sources, following the autumn of the Tang Dynasty in 907, China went by way of a interval of battle through the 5 Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms interval, and was unified by the Track Dynasty in 979. After the social unrest subsided, Track retailers had been lively not solely in East Asia, reminiscent of Japan and Goryeo, but additionally in Southeast Asia, because of the growth of social and financial fields reminiscent of agriculture and handicrafts. It’s stated that the Track Dynasty inspired abroad commerce as a result of it was in monetary difficulties as a consequence of steady wars with northern ethnic teams. In different phrases, selling commerce with Japan was an essential coverage theme of the Track Dynasty.

Plainly the Track Dynasty actively lobbied Japan, however the Japanese facet was passive and didn’t open formal diplomatic relations. Nonetheless, commerce was carried out beneath the management of the court docket, primarily by way of Dazaifu. Track Dynasty ships started to sail to Japan round 986 (Tengen 3), and have become extra frequent from the top of the tenth century. Track Dynasty ships are identified to have visited Wakasa and Echizen (each in present-day Fukui Prefecture) since 995 (Chotoku 1).

Many conferences had been held relating to Zhu Jinsao’s matter, and the matter was additionally reported to the emperor.

Akane Satoshi (performed by Hiroka) and others who seem in “To the Shining” are an actual group. Based on historic information, this was not the primary time that Zhu Jinli went to sea. He had come practically 10 years in the past in 987 (the primary 12 months of Yongyuan), and he offered a sheep to the court docket the next 12 months. Then, in 995 (the primary 12 months of Chotoku), the 12 months earlier than the scene of the drama, he visited Wakasa Province once more. Michinaga reported the matter to Emperor Ichijo and moved him to Echizen, and so on. There are numerous information that the court docket nobles mentioned their affairs virtually day-following-day. It may be seen that he connected nice significance to this as a result of it concerned relations with the neighboring superpower Track Dynasty. It’s recorded that Zhu Yuanzhang offered geese, parrots and sheep to the court docket.

Within the drama, Akane is accused of homicide, however historic information additionally present the court docket contemplating whether or not to deliver fees towards Akane, so it appears there was some form of hassle. What was Zhu Rongji’s actual goal for this journey? Why did the native officers in Echizen apparently need to smoke?

When he despatched poems to the Track individuals

Toki, who had a deep understanding of Chinese language tradition, appeared to have a way of closeness to Akane. Based on the historic ebook “Kon-kagami”, Emperor Ichijo, who appointed Akane because the governor-general of Echizen on the time, hoped that this realized man would have the ability to work together with these foreigners. It may be stated that the end result was as anticipated.

The track that was given to them in Echizen Province was included within the “Kanako”.

It has been three years since he left his motherland. He’s most likely sitting alone in his dormitory, trying on the moon and reminiscing regarding his hometown.
The journey once more house is lengthy, and matched with the crosswinds, it’s troublesome to return residence.
The thunder rumbled and echoed like colourful drums, however no rain got here.
The clouds rose like lovely flags and the wind started to blow over the bottom.

The story expresses deep sympathy for the state of affairs of Track Ren, who mightn’t suppress his eager for residence. Related plots will be discovered within the Chinese language poetry assortment “Honcho Reisho” compiled in the midst of the Heian interval in Japan and China’s “Historical past of Track”, which describes the elegant alternate between Tametoki and Echizen Cover. Plainly this incident actually occurred. Chinese language literary information has created a wealthy literary house that transcends nationwide boundaries.
