The Dazai no Sochi--the head of the Yamato government in Kyushu--was a powerful position, with a lot of autonomy with lucrative opportunities. The people in this position were often powerful members of the court capable of representing the sovereign. They would often go on to become quite powerful in their own right. So who were the movers and shakers that held this prestigious position during Uno no Sarara's reign? This episode, we take a look at those who held the position and those who supported them.

Rough Transcript Welcome to Sengoku Daimyo's Chronicles of Japan. My name is Joshua and this is Episode 151: The Dazai no Sochi of the late 7th century Tsukushi no Masaru was busy. A new boss was coming in, and he wanted to make sure everything was prepared. The Dazai may have been about as far as one could get from the capital and still be in Yamato, but it was also the first—and sometimes only—encounter some would have with the archipelago, so there was no excuse to be slacking off. Of course, this was hardly his first new boss, though for as long as he'd been on the job, each one could well be his last. He was getting a bit long in the tooth, after all. Twenty-nine years was a long time to be working in the same position. As Masaru paused, he thought back on some of the people he'd served. There was Soga no Akae—he was ambitious. Apparently he'd been in some rather compromising positions before coming out, but he'd done well enough when he went back. Shame that he backed the wrong horse. That did bring a chuckle to old Masaru's throat, though. He remembered when Prince Kurikuma had come out there, to the the Dazai, , and there were still people around who told stories of him. When those Afumi court stooges had showed up to try and conscript the barrier guards, Prince Kurikuma and his sons just stared them down. Everyone had been afraid that it would end in bloodshed, or at least that there would be consequences for defying the court, but Kurikuma was adamant, and the messenger had left with his tail firmly between his legs. Then there was Shima. By the time he came, Masaru already knew how everything was supposed to work. He may not have been in charge, but that wasn't his ambition. It was enough for him to be good at what he did. He didn't need to go all the way to the Palace and deal with the politics there—there were enough politics out here already. Shima, though, he was clearly suited for that Palace life. He was a capable administrator, but Masaru could tell he was ambitious. When he left, everyone knew that he would be going on to bigger and better things. And now there was another Prince coming out. So they would get the government offices prepared and greet him with proper fanfare. They'd bring him in and hold the ceremonies, and then they would get down to work. A stream of officers would present him with what they were working on and what had to happen. Masaru would be there to help make sure that everything was running smoothly and nothing got too out of hand. And that was the way things worked out on the edge of the realm. Welcome back to Sengoku Daimyo. We are still covering the reign of Uno no Sarara, and, similar to last episode, we are going to continue to talk about the people who made up Yamato at this time. This episode, more specifically, we are going to be turning away from the capital, in Asuka, and looking all the way over to Tsukushi—modern Kyushu—and at the people who served as Dazai no Sochi, or head of the local government out there, as well as the bureaucrats and staff that worked for them—at least as far we know. Many of them went on to have considerable careers that took them well beyond Kyushu. At the same time, we'll take a look at some of the things that happened under their rule as what Aston translates as the "Viceroy of Tsukushi". After that, I have a special announcement about the podcast at the end of the episode, so if you are interested in learning more about what we plan on doing, please listen all the way to the end to hear about some plans for the future. And with that out of the way, let's begin. So we are talking about the position of Dazai no Sochi or the Viceroy of Tsukushi. Often these people are referred to only as being of the "Tsukushi no Dazai" or the "Tsukushi no Ohomochi". The term "Sochi" appears later, and we first see this term applied to Prince Kawachi, in 689. It seems to show up with two different characters, which might be a term from the later Taihou code that was retroactively applied or may refer to an evolution of the position over time. I'm honestly not sure. There is still plenty of confusion over what was meant in some of the references. We've discussed this position before on the podcast: This was the sovereign's representative to the world outside of the archipelago. Not only did the Dazai no Sochi oversee all of Tsukushi—all of Kyushu— and extensive defensive forces stationed there and in the outlying islands, but they oversaw all diplomatic and trade missions to and from the archipelago. Envoy missions would come to Tsushima, where they would get a local pilot and send word ahead. They would then be received at the government center, the Dazai, near modern Fukuoka and Hakata bay. For most envoys, this was as close as they would ever get to Yamato proper. They would offload their goods there and be put up at the government supplied quarters in Wogohori. They would be wined and dined there, entertained as appropriate to their status, while word was sent on to the capital. In rare cases, envoys would be sent on another journey through the inland sea to Naniwa, and then on to Asuka, but otherwise their journey would end at the Dazaifu. Any return gifts would come back with the correspondence from the capital, and thus be handed out to the envoys and their escorts before the mission was sent back home to Silla, Tamna, or wherever they had come from. Being the middle man in this operation offered a lot of power and authority, but it also would have been quite lucrative. While diplomatic missions brought gifts for the court, they also brought trade goods, of which the Dazai no Sochi could have first pick. This is on top of the fact that this position often came with a stipend equaling the labor of hundreds of individuals. Many of the Dazai no Sochi would serve limited terms, eventually returning to Asuka, where we see them take on powerful positions. Take, for example, our first Dazai no Sochi, Tajihi no Mabito no Shima. Tajihi no Shima was born, we are told, in or around 624 to Tajihi no Maro and a daughter of Ohotomo no Hirafu. Tajihi no Maro, Shima's father was a powerful noble in the court of Ohoama, aka Temmu Tennou, and he had enough standing that he was one of the named individuals who provided eulogies for Ohoama on the occasion of his passing. The Tajihi family were quite well placed: they were descendants of Hinokuma no Takata no Miko, aka Senka Tennou, Shima's great-grandfather. This earned them the kabane of "Mabito", or "True Person" because of their royal lineage. Tajihi no Shima was placed in charge of the Dazai from at least 682. His predecessor that we know about is Prince Yagaki, who was dismissed around 676, and we don't know who filled the gap between him and Shima. Shima had quite the run. We don't know exactly when he returned to the court in Asuka, but it cannot have been later than 689, when we see Awada no Mahito in the position. A year later, in 690, Shima was made Udaijin, or minister of the right. That's a huge deal and we will talk about that in a bit, but what did Shima actually oversee during his tenure as Dazai no Sochi? We have quite a few events attributed to him, this reign. In 686, we see the Tsukushi no Dazai sending tribute in the form of human beings: Common men and women of Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla, along with 62 priests and nuns. We aren't told where these men and women came from, but I suspect that they were refugees or captives from all the fighting on the peninsula. That they were given as tribute suggests to me that they were enslaved—or at the very least they were not free. If they were uneducated, they were likely put to work as labor, perhaps building out the new capital or opening new farmlands. Later we see the various missions from Silla around the death of Ohoama, and the back and forth that went on, there, and in 688 the Tsukushi no Dazai entertained Kara, a Minister of Tamna, aka modern Jeju island, who had been sent by the king of that small country. You may recall that Tamna, while late to the game, may have been one of the last holdouts of an early Japonic speaking people outside of the archipelago. Being the Tsukushi no Dazai, Shima would not have only been concerned with foreign envoys, but also with two other groups of Hayato—specifically the Ohosumi no Hayato and the Ata no Hayato. Little is known about them, other than that Yamato considered them to be distinct ethnic and cultural groups living in the far south of Kyushu. We've talked before about how southern Kyushu maintained a significantly different material culture through Kofun period until more recent times. We also have indication that they had a distinctive shield and even art style—the famous "Hayato shields" appear to have been appropriated by the court, along with a contingent of Hayato men that were expected to act as an exotic guard for the sovereign and the court. The earliest reliable evidence we have for them is a record from 682. There are some questions as to whether or not they were related to the groups previously called Kumaso or even the Tsuchigumo, but there is no clear historical or archaeological evidence linking them other than the common cultural finds in Kyushu more generally. The Ata and Ohosumi Hayato may have been distinct clans or lineage groups living in Ohosumi and the area of modern Satsuma. We have a record in 687 of the Ata no Hayato attending Ohoama's funeral and presenting a eulogy. The chiefs who came brought 337 others—a sizeable contingent—and they were all given presents by the court. Later, we would see presents given out to 174 Hayato by Shima's successor in the Dazai, Awada no Mahito, and then in 692 we know that the court sent priests to preach Buddhism to Ata and Ohosumi. In 695, Hayato of Ohosumi were entertained in the capital, and they even held a wrestling match for the Queen and her attendants in the area west of Asukadera, by the site of the famous Tsuki tree. So the Hayato would have been another group that Shima no doubt dealt with on a somewhat regular basis in his capacity as Dazi no Sochi—and then later on when he returned to Asuka and took up his new role as Udaijin. And as I mentioned, that appointment was a Big Deal. The position of Udaijin had been vacant since Nakatomi no Kane, one of the infamous leaders of the Afumi court, was non-consensually removed from the position—and this plane of existence—when he was executed in 672, at the closure of the Jinshin no Ran. After that, Ohoama appears to have been gun-shy about sharing power with anyone outside the royal family. The position had been left vacant for about 18 years. So what made Uno no Sarara take up Shima as Minister of the Right? And what about the Minister of the Left, or the Sadaijin? Well, we don't have a Sadaijin, but we do have a Dajodaijin in the form of Prince Takechi, Ohoama's first-born son. The Dajodaijin was the Prime Minister in charge of the entire Dajokan, the Council of State, made up of the ministers of the left and right and the 8 bureaus of the government. The Sadaijin and Udaijin served under the Dajodaijin, in that hierarchical order, with the Sadaijin generally being considered higher in precedence. So it looks like, in this case, they had the Dajodaijin, Prince Takechi to run the Council and Shima, as Udaijin would have been responsible for ensuring the administration of the eight bureaus was properly carried out. That Shima was appointed just under Prince Takechi again shows the power and influence he likely had and the trust he must have had from Uno no Sarara. Remember, the Crown Prince, Kusakabe, had died before he could take the throne. Uno was enthroned as Queen, while the Crown Prince, Karu, was still a minor. Whereas Ohoama had his wife and many sons to help him run things, Uno no Sarara was running thin. As had been seen with Prince Ohotsu, there was always the threat that one of Ohoama's other sons could be propped up on the throne. Uno had to look after Karu's birthright, but there was no guarantee that he would make it to adulthood in times before modern medicine. It appears that Prince Takechi was actually considered the next in line, just in case something happened to Karu before he could ascend the throne, which makes sense that Prince Takechi was also trusted as Dajo Daijin. Shima's place as Udaijin must have been indicative of similar trust that he would look after the royal family's interests. This was no doubt helped by the role he played as Dazai no Sochi. As Udajin, Tajihi no Shima went on to have a rather incredible career. He was given 4 cho of land for his residence. This appears to be around 10 acres or so—a not inconsiderable amount of land, and it probably refers to the amount of land he was granted in the new Fujiwara capital city. Later, in the Nara capital of Heijo-kyo, Prince Nagaya's residence was about that size and Fujiwara no Nakamaro's residence is thought to have been about twice that. This would have given Shima space for multiple buildings, sprawling gardens, servants quarters, quarters for his wives and children, and much more. Tajihi no Shima would continue in his role as Udaijin, and would eventually, be promoted to the position of Sadaijin, a post he held only briefly, as he passed away almost a year later. He was not forgotten, however. It is thought that he was the model for one of the suitors of Kaguya Hime in the famous story of Taketori Monogatari—the tale of the Bamboo Cutter. Taketori Monogatari, also known as Kaguya Hime Monogatari, is considered the oldest known story in the Monogatari form. It was probably written in the late 9th or early 10th century, with references to it appearing in works as early as 909 CE. This suggests that Tajihi no Shima and others were still remembered, at least in part, over a century later. Shima is also thought to have been the patron of the famous poet, Kakinomoto no Hitomaro, one of the famous 36 immortal poets. We'll have to include Hitomaro in a later episode, though we might come back to him after this reign, as he isn't mentioned in the Chronicles, but we do have some fragmentary biographical information thanks to his inclusion in the Man'yoshu. In fact, he's probably one of the most famous poets in the Man'yoshu who is not otherwise mentioned. We are told that he was the court poet during the reign of Uno no Sarara, so it makes sense that Shima may have very well been his patron and helped him get his start. Now while Shima was back in Asuka, making it big in the court, the position of Tsukushi no Dazai had to be filled, and we are told that the mantle was taken up by Awada no Mahito no Ason. This name is a bit tricky, as it seems to have two kabane: Mahito and Ason. Since his father is said to have been Kasuga no Awada no Omi no Kudara, the assumption seems to be that "Mahito" was his name, rather than his kabane. Although it was likely pronounced "Mabito" at the time, I'm going to go with the modern pronunciation of "Mahito" in part to distinguish it from the kabane. A quick side note: When reading names from this period, we usually see the kabane coming right after the family name, as the kabane is basically a rank for the family and not the individual. But we do occasionally see the kabane tacked on at the end of a name, as in Awada no Mahito's case. I would also like to quickly draw your attention to his father's name: Kudara. That can also be read as Baekje. Was this an indication that his father or an ancestor came from the continent, perhaps from Baekje? Or just that he had close ties to that kingdom? I couldn't find anything specific, but it seems interesting that he was put in place at the Dazai, where dealing with the continent would have been an important part of his duties. Awada no Mahito was not just a noble of the court, and even if his father was of Baekje descent, that may not have been the main thing that gained him the position. It may have also had to do with an earlier incident. We are told that in 653 Mahito was one of those who traveled with the 2nd envoy to the Tang court as a scholar monk. He would later return to secular life, but that experience must have been a big feather in his cap, helping him land a good position at court. In fact, in 685, we are told that he was Jikikwoushi rank—a fairly respectable position for anyone at the time—and he apparently tried to get his father raised to the same rank as he was. Aston translates the record as saying he was willing to give his rank to his father, but it is unclear to me if this means he was offering to give up his rank altogether. At the very least it seems that he felt awkward outranking his father—a good, filial attitude, it would seem. However, Ohoama didn't care. In the past, rank may have been given to entire families, but now the court was giving rank to individuals, and the rank Mahito had earned was his, not his father's. And so his request was denied. Four years later, Ohoama was gone and Awada no Mahito was sent to the Tsukushi no Dazai. We are told that he was in that position as of 689. If that was the position of Dazai no Sochi, however, he didn't hold it for long, as Prince Kawachi was raised up to that position that same year, and here we have a bit of a conundrum. Mahito is only mentioned as "Tsukushi no Dazai" while Prince Kawachi is specifically mentioned, at least twice, as Tsukushi no Dazai no Sochi. There are some who suggest that Mahito may have been the Dazai Daini, an assistant to the Dazai no Sochi—effectively the second-in-command it would appear. This makes some sense, when you consider it, and he may even have been acting Dazai no Sochi until Prince Kawachi was appointed. Of course, because our records are quite lackluster, and we are never actually told when Tajihi no Shima left the position, it is possible that Awada no Mahito was actually the Dazai Sochi for many years leading up to 689, and that Shima had returned to Asuka some time ago. This is the problem with the way things are written—sometimes they mention a name and sometimes just a position, and rarely do they mention when someone stepped down. Still, Mahito oversaw a few things that we can be somewhat sure about as they happened after he is first mentioned in the position, though it was all in the same year. For one thing, he is the one who presented gifts to the 174 Hayato in the first month of 689. This included cloth, ox hides, and deerskins. He was also there when the Queen sent relief to the Barrier Wardens whose terms were up. These were the Sakimori, a position set up to defend the archipelago and repel any potential invasions. I would assume they were regularly rotated out, especially if they were expected to man the fortifications out on some of the islands. It is interesting that we don't often see them referenced, so it isn't clear to me why the reference was made here—it may have just been a note in one of the sources the Chroniclers were using. Later that same year, we also see garments being given out—likely meaning official court clothing—to the Tsukushi Dazai and others. This was probably to bring them all in line with the latest formal wear being used in the court in Asuka. We also know that in the 6th month of that year they entertained the Silla envoys, who were given various presents. And then, two months later, Mahito is out and Prince Kawachi comes in. At the same time that Prince Kawachi is being made the Dazai no Sochi, our previous Dazai no Sochi, Tajihi no Shima, had his rank and fief increased. I doubt this was a coincidence, and it is one of the things that, for me, lends credence to the idea that Shima had just then returned to Asuka and Prince Kawachi was his replacement, suggesting that Mahito had really just been in an acting capacity while the change over was taking place. Unfortunately, if we were looking for more information about Prince Kawachi's background, we would be disappointed. Although he is a prince, probably descended from Nunakura, aka Bidatsu Tennou, we don't have a lot about him. He—or someone with the same name, since we do see these Princely titles get reused, it seems—is found in the reign of Ohoama traveling with Ohotomo no Yasumaro and Fujiwara no Ohoshima to go entertain Gim Jisyang of Silla. Later we see a Prince Kawachi delivering eulogies during Ohoama's funeral. That suggests he held an important position, and that he was somewhat familiar with the continent, but we don't get a whole lot more. Our next evidence is when he was appointed to the post of Dazai no Sochi in 689, a position he would hold until his death in 694—which may also explain why we just don't see too much of him in the record. A promising career may have been cut short, as happened all too often back in that day and age. Still, as Dazai no Sochi, he had plenty to keep him busy. Not a month after he arrived, Isonokami no Maro and Ishikawa no Mishina arrived at the head of a delegation. They were there to deliver patents of rank to members of the Tsukushi government and to inspect the fortifications at the edge of the archipelago. These were the same fortifications being manned by the newly arrived Sakimori. Speaking of the members of the Tsukushi government, it took a lot of people to make the Dazaifu work, not just the Sochi giving people orders about what they should do. There were numerous assistants helping to keep everything running. Some of them would have just been dealing with the Sochi's own residence, while others were clerks, guards, and more. It really was a miniature version of the court in Asuka, and would have required a lot of people to tend to it. And we know of at least one of them: Tsukushi no Fubito no Masaru, whose imagined thoughts we heard at the top of the episode. In 691, Masaru was recognized for 29 years of service as a secretary to the Tsuksuhi no Dazai. Twenty-nine years in place suggests to me that he would have likely been one of the longest serving members of the Tsukushi government center. He would have known where all the bodies were buried—perhaps quite literally. While the Dazai no Sochi was often a temporary appointment, sometimes just for a few years, they would have likely leaned on Masaru for his expertise. This is just like how modern government appointees like ambassadors may come and go, including for political reasons, but they rely on permanent staff, including a lot of locals, to provide the institutional knowledge they need to do their jobs. One can assume that if Masaru had been successful for 29 years he knew how things were supposed to work. And so I hope that his superiors made sure to remember that when Secretary's day rolled around. Prince Kawachi didn't make it 29 years, but he made it five. He might have gone even longer, but he died in office in 694 and was posthumously raised in rank for his service. History is full of stories, but in real life, the stories don't always follow the expected narratives. As much as we'd like to think otherwise, good, moral people do not always triumph and sometimes those who do awful things are never punished. And some times stories come to abrupt ends. Of course, looking back, it just is what it is. Prince Kawachi's life becomes little more than a footnote. And yet, what if he had gone on? Would he have followed Tajihi no Shima to help become one of the grand ministers of the court? Unfortunately, we will never know. He could have been a rising star, but we just know about his passing. Five months after Prince Kawachi's untimely death, he was followed in the post by Prince Mino. Prince Mino would continue in the position, it seems, through the end of the reign in 697—or at least nobody else was appointed until 700, when Isonokami no Maro—apparently the same one who had previously come out to inspect the fortifications during Prince Kawachi's tenure—was appointed. Although he came into the position in the next reign, we'll still touch on him, as he was another notable figure at this time. Looking back at Prince Mino, however, we seem to run into a problem—there are too many Princes Mino in the record. If you just use the English translations, you'll find several references to Prince Mino, but if you look at the original text, you'll see that there are at least three different spellings. For one it means "Beautiful Field" and another is just "Three Fields". A third "Mino" is spelled with characters that don't necessarily create obvious meaning, and may just be a phonetic spelling. It is possible that all of these Princes Mino are the same. Spelling wasn't standard, and different characters could be used for the same name. On the other hand, we have one set of characters being used to describe a Prince Mino who supported Ohoama during the Jinshin no Ran, while another, the "Three Fields" Prince Mino, describes one of the sons of Prince Kurikuma, who was with his father in Tsukushi when the Afumi court came calling. Since travel wasn't necessarily an overnight endeavor—unless you were Ohoama, rushing through the mountains to the east—it would seem that the Prince Mino in Tsukushi is unlikely to be the same one as the Prince Mino who joined Ohoama's forces back in the Home Provinces. So let's make the assumption that Prince Mino—Prince "Three Fields" Mino—is one person and the others are separate. What do we know about him? Well, he appears to have had experience with Tsukushi and the government out there, since he would be the son of Prince Kurikuma, a former Tsukushi Dazai no Sochi. We talked about Prince Kurikuma before, back in numerous episodes, but particularly in episodes 128 and Episode 144, as well as references in betweend. Prince Kurikuma was not only a significant factor in the outcome of the Jinshin no Ran, denying the Afumi court the resources of all of the defenders at the Tsukushi fortifications, he shows up in local legends in Tsukushi still today. So he definitely seems to have had an impact on the region. It also suggests that Prince Mino had connections in the area through his father. After his father's posting as Dazai no Sochi ended, Prince Mino appears to have returned with him to Asuka. He is described as a key member in Ohoama's court. He was one of the Princes mentioned in the audience at the Daigokuden in 681, when Ohoama instituted the commission to bring together the various court sources that we presume would eventually lead to the creation of the Chronicles—the Nihon Shoki and the Kojiki. Later, he become a daibu, a high official, of the Household Bureau, responsible for the household of the sovereign, the sumera no mikoto. This meant the upkeep of the palace, the kitchens, and the various servants waiting on the sovereign and his family. This also means that he was likely close to the movers and shakers of the court. One of the projects under his purview appears to have been the laying out of a new palace and a new capital city. In 682 he headed up the investigations at the place called Nihiki, determining that it would be a good location for what would eventually become Fujiwara-kyo—a project still underway in Queen Uno's reign. He was also sent out to Shinano two years later to look for a site for a second capital. It ended up not happening, but he spent a couple months and eventually came back with a map of the region. It may be that the Fujiwara-kyo project took up a lot of Mino's time and effort, because we then don't hear from him for another decade, during which Ohama passed away and so much more happened. Assuming he was still involved with the Fujiwara capital project, however, we see that in 691 there was a ceremony held for the tranquility of the new capital—a Chin-sai or, what we would today call a "Ji-chin-sai". This is a "land pacification ceremony" done when breaking ground on a new building or other project. So it looks like planning and land clearing had taken some 10 years, but it was finally ready to get started. Later that same year we hear of them laying out the residences of high ranking nobles, like the Udaijin, Tajihi no Shima, and we also see the Queen inspecting the roads. Then, a year later in 692, they were holding the land pacification ceremony for the new palace. The queen would move into the new palace in the very last months of 694. But by that time, Prince Mino was on to his next assignment. He had been appointed Tsukushi Dazai no Sochi earlier that year following the death of Prince Kawachi. Not much more is said of Tsukushi for the next three years of the reign, but we do see the Hayato visiting Asuka, presumably with Prince Mino's assistance. We don't have a clear idea of when Prince Mino retired—it's certainly not in the Nihon Shoki—but we know that he did because he was succeeded in the role by none other than Isonokami no Maro, who would take up the position in 700. Prince Mino, on the other hand, returned to the court, where he would eventually pass away in the year 708. And that was the last Dazai no Sochi who held the position during this reign, but I do want to talk about the one who came after Prince Mino just a bit—though more because this was an up-and-coming court noble whom we should be watching. Isonokami no Maro was born, by all accounts, in the year 640. Despite his name he was actually born to a family that we know somewhat well from much earlier on: The Mononobe. In fact, his father is apparently Mononobe no Muraji no Umaro, and he appears to be descended from the main line of the Mononobe family, which had declined ever since Mononobe no Moriya had been defeated and killed by Soga no Umako and others. And it seems that the Mononobe curse of being on the losing side in a contest for power hit Maro during the Jinshin no Ran, because we see him, at that time referenced as Mononobe no Muraji no Maro, along with two servants, or Toneri, serving Prince Ohotomo—aka Koubun Tennou—up to the very end. In fact, when Ohotomo fled and the Afumi court deserted him, only Mononobe no Maro and the servants stayed with him when he eventually strangled himself. And one would think that would be it. You were with the rival for the throne in the most contentious fight in recent memory. You couldn't protect him and you were on the wrong side. Sure, Ohoama was going to pardon you because he couldn't just rid himself of half of the court and hope things would still run smoothly—that would be a surefire recipe for disaster, and nobody wanted the government crippled like that. However, you can't imagine that those on the losing side would be given any position of trust or authority. And yet, in 676, we see that Mononobe no Maro was sent to Silla. And he wasn't just helping out: he was sent as the chief envoy of Ohoama's court. That is quite the turnaround in four years, and we don't really know why, but it has been speculated that Ohoama was actually impressed. While other members of the Afumi court fled and abandoned Ohotomo to his enemies, Maro and the two toneri with him did not, staying with Ohotomo until the bitter end, and likely conveying what had happened to the other side once it was all over. That kind of loyalty was impressive, especially back then. It is also thought that Maro may have benefited from the fact that Enoi no Okimi, who was also descended from the Mononobe family, fought on the side of Ohoama. This is a common scenario we see throughout Japanese history, where different members of the same family fight on different sides of a conflict, often meaning that no matter who wins the family can still claim to have been on the winning side. When Okimi passed away in 676 he was posthumously recognized as the ujigami, or clan head, of the Mononobe, leading some to suspect that a bit of his shine may have rubbed off on Maro as well. In 684, when the various kabane were being rectified by Ohoama's court, the Mononobe no Muraji were included as Ason, or Asaomi. There is some thought that around this time is when Maro changed his name to Isonokami, which is a name that was previously used by members of the Mononobe, including one of the brothers to Mononobe no Moriya. We see him mentioned as Isonokami no Maro in 686, as one of those giving a eulogy for Ohoama: specifically he gives the eulogy on behalf of the Houkan, or Nori no Tsukasa, the Judicial officers. He is mentioned right after Fuse no Miushi, whom we talked about last episode, who would go on to become a Dainagon and, later, Udaijin, or Minister of the Right. The first connection between Isonokami no Maro and Tsukushi was in 689, and we noted it earlier—he came out to inspect the fortifications as well as to hand out patents of rank to the court officials working out there on the edge of the realm. He would return to Asuka in time to be a part of Uno no Sarara's official enthronement ceremonies. There he is named Mononobe no Maro, and is in charge of the shields. Given what we know of the role of the Mononobe as the early soldiers of the court, it makes sense that he would play this role, and that they would use the name Mononobe rather than Isonokami. In the same way, the ritual was conducted by Fujiwara no Ohoshima, but he is recorded as Nakatomi no Ohoshima, probably because these were roles specifically for the Mononobe and Nakatomi, rather than for the Isonokami and the Fujiwara. This is another thing that can be quite frustrating when researching Japanese history—names can change at the drop of a hat, and people often had various ancestral names and titles that could be pulled out for various political or ceremonial reasons. If you don't have the history or understand the nuance it can be easy to just think that it is a different person altogether. And when you don't have much information, sometimes you have to ask yourself which is it? Maro would stay close to Queen Uno, even accompanying her to Ise shrine, and then, in the following reign, he would succeed Prince Mino as Dazai no Sochi in the year 700. It isn't clear, however, if he left for the Dazaifu immediately, since in 701 he is noted as having been promoted from the office of Chunagon to Dainagon, and in that same year he went with Royal Prince Osakabe to pay respects at the house of the late Udaijin, Tajihi no Shima, who had just passed away. He then left for Tsukushi in 702—or possibly headed back. But in 703, he was once again back in Asuka, paying condolences on the death of the next Udaijin, Abe no Miushi—aka Fuse no Miushi, the same one whom Maro had pronounced a Eulogy with during the funeral ceremonies for Ohoama. Isonokami no Maro would go on to take the mantle of Udaijin, and then eventually Sadaijin as well. He would be raised up to the second rank, along with the famous Fujiwara no Fubito, who took the vacated position of Udaijin. This meant that technically Maro was the senior of the two, though many people think that Fujiwara no Fubito held most of the actual power. Regardless of that, Isonokami no Maro nonetheless would go on to become the highest ranking court noble before his eventual death in 717. At that point he was 78 years old, by the reckoning of the day, and he had seen multiple sovereigns, several bloody conflicts, and the creation of two permanent capitals—Fujiwara kyo and Heijo kyo, in modern Nara. He went from being a supporter in the Afumi court, on the wrong side of the Jinshin no Ran to become the highest ranking court noble in the land. He would be granted the head of the Mononobe family and would continue to prosper as Isonokami. It was truly a remarkable career over an incredible span of time. And there you have it. A look at some of those that were sent out to the Dazaifu in Tsukushi. In later years, the post of Dazai no Sochi would be seen more as a burden than a blessing, but at this point it was still a lucrative and powerful position. Several of those involved in the Dazaifu or who held the position as Dazai no Sochi would go on to even more powerful positions back in Asuka. Whilst this posting did move you further away from the politics—perhaps not always a bad thing—it also put you atop a structure where one had considerable power, authority, and autonomy, at least at this point. Next episode we'll get back to the court in Asuka and take a look at a little more of what is going on. Before I end this, however, a quick administrative note about the podcast. This creation is a labor of love. It was started largely as a way to get myself to regularly dive into the Chronicles and really see what was going on. In particular, I was excited about the Asuka period, because I don't think we really have enough of a sense of what life was like and what was going on back then. It was clearly a very dynamic time, and yet we tend to see it through the lens of later Nara and Heian court culture, which was still very much evolving. The stories that I *didn't* know about were what drew me to this project, and I hope that we've all learned a bit more as the project has continued. And we are reaching the end of the area that is covered by the main Chronicles, the Kojiki, the Nihon Shoki, and the Sendai Kuji Hongi, which have been our main guides through this period. But that doesn't mean we are bringing things to a close. Next we have the Shoku Nihongi and many other grecords, and I am going to keep up with the project and the schedule as best I can. In fact, it looks like I may be able to devote even more time to it in the near future as some drastic life changes are coming for me, such that I will no longer be working a 9-to-5 job while also trying to get this podcast out like clockwork twice a month—not to mention my other passion, teaching traditional Japanese martial arts here in the DC region at a local not-for-profit dojo. This is happening as we are also in the process of building a house, traveling, and more. But it does mean that we are going to be looking into alternative sources of funding beyond just donations. We are eternally grateful to everyone who has donated, but I may end up doing something that I've been putting off for a while: allowing advertisements. I want to do this so that we can continue to offer this for podcast for free, but hosting, staying up to date on sources, etc. does cost money. I'm not looking to make a huge profit, but if we can at least get the podcast paying for itself, that would be a good start. Before I do that I'll look to find a way that we can get subscribers on Patreon and elsewhere ad-free copy. I just need to figure that out, but once I do, I'll let you all know. So there you have it. We aren't going to stop the podcast, but we may be adding a bit more to it in the future. I hope, though, that we can do more beyond the historical chronicles. For instance, did you know that we have an English translation of a 17th century cookbook up on our website, SengokuDaimyo.com? I would love to redact those recipes and maybe provide some cooking videos for anyone who would want to try them. A shoutout to Max Miller of Tasting History, who reached out to us about using a couple of our translations for his episodes on historical Japanese cooking – Max is a great guy and his series and cookbook are well worth following. But there's a lot more to explore: one of my favorites so far that we've tried is "keiran", or "eggs": doughy balls filled with brown sugar and cooked in a miso based soup. I don't know if there is anything like that still being served in Japan, but it's a strange and pleasant recipe and I would love to do that again and record it for everyone to try. All of this is in the works, and nothing will change immediately, but I wanted to keep you all in the loop. Thank you so much for listening, I can't tell you how much it means. And of course, as always, if you like what we are doing, please tell your friends and feel free to rate us wherever you listen to podcasts. If you feel the need to do more, and want to help us keep this going, we have information about how you can donate on Patreon or through our KoFi site, ko-fi.com/sengokudaimyo, or find the links over at our main website, SengokuDaimyo.com/Podcast, where we will have some more discussion on topics from this episode. Also, feel free to reach out to our Sengoku Daimyo Facebook page. You can also email us at the.sengoku.daimyo@gmail.com. Thank you, also, to Ellen for their work editing the podcast. And that's all for now. Thank you again, and I'll see you next episode on Sengoku Daimyo's Chronicles of Japan.

Kambole Campbell (Empire Magazine, Vulture, Time Out) and Leslie Byron-Pitt (Fatal Attractions podcast) join Flixwatcher to review Kambole's choice The Boy and the Heron. The Boy and the Heron (2023) is the 12th Studio Ghibli animation written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki. The English dub version features the voices of Christian Bale as Shoichi Maki, Robert Pattinson as the Gray Heron, Florence Pugh as Kiriko, and Dave Bautista as the Parakeet King. The cast also includes Gemma Chan, Willem Dafoe, Karen Fukuhara, and Mark Hamill in other key roles. After losing his mother during the war, young Mahito moves to his family's estate in the countryside. There, a series of mysterious events lead him to a secluded and ancient tower, home to a mischievous gray heron. When Mahito's new stepmother disappears, he follows the gray heron into the tower, and enters a fantastic world shared by the living and the dead. As he embarks on an epic journey with the heron as his guide, Mahito must uncover the secrets of this world, and the truth about himself. Recommendability scores for The Boy and the Heron were mixed, the sprawling nature of the narrative and two hour run time were working against it to give an overall rating of 3.31.

Hayao Miyazaki aveva annunciato il ritiro dalle scene. E, invece, decise di tornare con questo film d'animazione. Nel Giappone del 1944, il giovane Mahito trova una misteriosa torre in giardino. A fargli da guida c‘è un airone parlante. L'obiettivo è ritrovare la zia e salvare la defunta madre.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Episode 496: This week we finally get around to reviewing Hayao Miyazaki's latest film The Boy and the Heron. Mahito, haunted by his mother's death during the firebombings of Tokyo during the Pacific War, moves away with his dad to his aunt Natsuko's house in the country, where he encounters a Blue Heron that talks and tells him his mother is still alive.

In this episode we bring on our newest member and co-host, Debo, as we discuss male to male relationships, and emotional intimacy, or what people call "bromances". We talk about anime's favorite bromance; Yuji Itadori and Aoi Todo, from Jujutsu Kaisen. We cover how male relationships differ from female relationships, their importance in our everyday lives, and why society does society see male relationships as "toxic".EPISODE CREDITS: Intro and Outro music produced by Namai 畝ド果 Namai 畝ド果 Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/namaibeats Namai 畝ド果 YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNtb0gbf6MdjeQJuNgsDlMg
Wiz HIGHLY RECOMMENDS The Boy and the Heron When I originally watched The Boy and the Heron in theaters last year, my feelings on the film were mixed and kind of muddled: The animation was absolutely gorgeous to look at, whether it was in motion or just by looking at the vivid, luscious colorwork that both the real world and the "dream world" inhabit. Also, the music is incredible when it's there, but since it's such a quiet film when it does come up it hits a lot stronger. But I definitely felt conflicted after I left the theater. It's definitely a much more thoughtful, deeper film and I just didn't feel I quite "got it". So, last year, I did a quick review and didn't really give it a rating. I just said I liked it but it definitely needed a second viewing. Well, after a second viewing, my thoughts have become more clear: The Boy and the Heron is beautiful in many ways. Yes, the visuals are fantastic, but what's also beautiful is the central story about boy who struggles to come to terms with the death of his mother and life changing. The central story is about Mahito, a young man who is told by a grey heron that his dead mother is inside a labyrinthe tower of questionable origin. The Boy and the Heron is clearly for those who are Ghibli fans already and are of a more advanced age: the film in its first hour is slower and methodical. It sits in the quiet of the scenery and feels much more thoughtful than Miyazaki's other films. But then, that's the draw when the film goes into the dream world. Fantastical elements are fascinating to look at and the world seems to have this logic and backstory that is incredibly interesting. At my first viewing of the film, the main character didn't do much for me at all. After this second viewing, Mahito is one of the deeper characters Miyazaki has crafted. Not only is his suffering and conflict displayed incredibly well, but the dream world itself acts very well as part of his character and his maturation through dealing with grief and change. The only issue with me is that some elements of the film still feel confusing: namely the Parakeets and The Granduncle and who they represent. But honestly, that just gives me another reason to experience the film yet again to gleam more from it. The Boy and the Heron is not only a beautifully made film from visuals to music, but it's also a strikingly deep and emotionally resonant film that the older set will likely adore...while a younger set might find it too daunting.
Hayao Miyazaki directs the latest film from Studio Ghibli, 'The Boy and the Heron' (2023). This Oscar-winning film serves a magnum opus for a venerated animator nearing the end of his career, reflecting on his early life in this quasi-autobiographical fantasy. Mahito Maki leaves his home in Tokyo following the death of his mother in a World War II firebombing. Raised in a wealthy family, Mahito struggles to get along with his peers at his new rural school. He spends his time exploring his maternal family's palatial estate, including an abandoned tower that holds a profound secret. A mysterious gray heron beckons him to enter the tower, and when it appears his aunt-turned-stepmother has gone to the tower as well, Mahito hurries after her, plunging headfirst into a glimpse at destiny itself.

Lange laaaaange haben wir darauf gewartet ... und nun war es endlich so weit! Der vielleicht letzte Film von Hayao Miyazaki wurde nun auch in Deutschland veröffentlicht. Wir sprechen natürlich von 'Der Junge und der Reiher'! Der Geschichte des jungen Mahito, der während des zweiten Weltkriegs bei einem Angriff auf Tokyo seine Mutter verliert und dieses traumatische Erlebnis im Laufe dieses Meisterwerks zu verarbeiten versucht. Michael 'Shaggy' Schwarz und Thomas van de Scheck haben ihr Bestes gegeben, für euch in der neuesten Episode von'World Of Ghibli', eurem Lieblingspodcast rund um und über das Studio Ghibli, Miyazakis letzten Geniestreich zusammenzufassen und ihre Eindrücke über diesen Film zusammenzufassen. Inklusive des finalen Rankings aller Ghihbli-Filme, das mit 'Der Junge und der Reiher' nun auch wahrscheinlich seinen Abschluss findet.
Mit The Boy and the Heron kommt der vermutlich letzte Feature Film von Hayao Miyazaki in die Kinos. Der über 80-jährige und sein Studio Ghibli haben uns die letzten Jahrzehnte mit Anime-Filmen wie Shihiros Reise ins Zauberland, Prinzessin Mononoke und Das wandelnde Schloss in seinen Bann gezogen, verzaubert und der ein oder anderen Romanvorlage zu neuem Umsätzen verholfen. The Boy and the Heron beschreibt die Geschichte von Mahito, der seine Mutter verliert und mit seinem Vater die Stadt, die er kennt verlässt um ein neues Leben zu beginnen. Dazu gehört nicht nur eine neue Umgebung, ein neues Haus, eine neue Stiefmutter und neue Weggenossen sondern auch die Bekanntschaft mit einem Reiher, der ihn lockt auf eine Reise zu gehen um ein stilles Geheimnis seiner Familie zu entdecken. #TheBoyAndTheHeron #StudioGhibli #NowInCinema #NeuImKino #Movies #Filme

However, when a talking heron informs Mahito that his mother is still alive, he enters an abandoned tower in search of her, which takes him to another world. I want to discuss and review this golden Golden Award-winning anime with you, the listeners. Enjoy this episode and Domo Arigatou Gozaimasu Minnasan!

Hayao Miyazaki, wybitny japoński autor, stojący za sukcesami Studia Ghibli, żegnał się ze swoją publicznością parokrotnie. Wydawało się, że rozliczeniowy "Zrywa się wiatr" z 2013 roku będzie jego ostatnią animacją, ale okazało się, że artysta nie potrafi siedzieć bezczynnie. Prace nad kolejnym filmem trwały parę lat, a budżet urósł do najwyższego w historii japońskiego kina. Co znamienne, studio Ghibli zamiast rozbuchanej kampanii reklamowej zaproponowało widzom jedynie... enigmatyczny plakat. Pozostało czekać. Kiedy film wszedł do kin, stało się jasne, że mistrz nadal jest w niezwykłej formie. Bohaterem "Chłopca i czapli" jest Mahito, który po stracie matki wyjeżdża z ojcem na wieś. Tu staje się uczestnikiem niesamowitych wydarzeń, prowadzących do równoległych światów, zaludnionych przez barwne postaci. To pełna znaczeń i symboli opowieść o dorastaniu, o radzeniu sobie ze stratą, wreszcie o roli i odpowiedzialności artysty... W 58. odcinku podkastu rozmawiamy o "Chłopcu i czapli" i zastanawiamy się nad przesłaniem filmu. Co symbolizuje czapla? Na kim wzorowani są bohaterowie filmu? Wreszcie - czy jest to pożegnanie Miyazakiego i zamknięcie pewnego etapu działalności Studia Ghibli? Serdecznie zapraszamy do słuchania.

Kaum jemand hat im Bereich der Animationsfilme so viel Gewicht wie Hayao Miyazaki. Der 83-jährige Kinomagier hat unzählige einzigartige Welten mit seinem 1985 gegründeten Produktionsstudio Ghibli geschaffen, die bis heute gefeiert und rezitiert werden. Mit Der Junge und der Reiher möchte Miyazaki erneut in eine ebenso vertraute wie fremde Welt entführen. Im Gegensatz zu seinem letzten Film, Wie der Wind sich hebt, spielt der Regisseur in diesem Film wieder mehr mit fantastischen Elementen. Mitten im 2. Weltkrieg verliert der Junge Mahito seine Mutter und muss zu seiner Tante in ein stattliches Anwesen ziehen. Doch dort gibt es einen riesigen Reiher, der Mahito verfolgt und irgendetwas verbirgt. Als der Junge einen Turm in der Nähe des Anwesens findet, taucht er sprichwörtlich in ein magisches Portal ein. Was danach passiert, lässt sich nur schwer zusammenfassen. Es sind Metaphern auf Traumabewältigung, das Altwerden und das Loslassen. Wir sprechen in dieser Folge des Filmmagazins über Miyazakis neuesten Film und diskutieren, was hinter all den verworrenen Bildern und Figuren stecken könnte. Kann die Anime-Legende immer noch begeistern?
Der dritte Film, den wir für den Japanuary 2024 geschaut haben, ist Miyazakis vielleicht letzter Film: DER JUNGE UND DER REIHER, im Original „Kimitachi wa Do Ikiru ka“, was so viel bedeutet wie „Wie wollt Ihr leben?“ – eine Verfilmung des Romans von Genzaburo Yoshino, der eine besondere Bedeutung für Miyazaki hat. Nach zehn Jahren Pause ist Miyazaki also wieder zurück mit einem bildgewaltigen Film. Im Mittelpunkt steht der Junge Mahito, der 1943 im Krieg seine Mutter verliert, Sein Vater heiratet später die jüngere Schwester seiner Mutter. Als sie verschwindet, gerät Mahito auf der Suche nach ihr wie einst Alice in ein Wunderland. Es sind verschiedene Welten, dominiert von einem magischen Turm. Dort sitzt sein alter Großonkel, der Herr über diese Welten, der einen Nachfolger sucht.Miyzaki spricht in diesem Film in Metaphern, er zitiert sich selbst, er codiert und assoziiert. Viel Autobiographisches ist zu erkennen: Seine frühere Erinnerungen an den Zweiten Weltkrieg und die Nachkriegsjahre, sein Selbstportrait als alter Künstler. Vor allem geht es um Verlust und Tod, um die Kraft weiterzuleben und das Leben anzunehmen. Wenn man als Zuschauer versucht, beim ersten Schauen von DER JUNGE UND DER REIHER die Anspielungen und Rätsel zu verstehen und zu dechiffrieren, wird einem schnell der Kopf rauchen. Dann kann der Film sogar intellektuell überladen wirken.Oder man lässt sich einfach fallen in die großartige Bilderwelt, wo sich die ganze Leinwand mit Vögeln füllt, wo wir mit Mahito immer tiefer in das Kaninchenloch fallen, mit offenem Mund die vielen Segelschiffe am Horizont bestaunen, bevor uns hunderte Pelikane auf Arnold Böcklins Toteninsel angreifen. Im Podcast direkt nach dem Film diskutieren wir unter anderem über die Musik, über den eigentlichen Filmtitel „Wie wollt Ihr leben?“, ob man den Film am liebsten direkt noch einmal sehen will und sind uns einig, dass wir nie wieder Sittiche mit den gleichen Augen sehen werden. Am Mikrofon direkt nach dem Film in der Kälte vor dem Kino: Bettina, Katharina, Kristin, Johanna, Harald, Hendrik, Tom und Thomas.
Hayao Miyazaki, the legendary Japanese animator and co-founder of Studio Ghibli, who has previously announced his retirement three times, tells us all that The Boy and the Heron (as it's titled in most of the world; How Do You Live? in Japan) is really, honestly, for real this time, I'm super serious, his last film. His longtime producer, Toshio Suzuki, has already cast doubt on this new claim, but for now, here we have Miyazaki's final film, which tells the story of Mahito, a young boy in wartime Japan, who loses his mother in a fire and is evacuated to his aunt's countryside estate, whereupon he meets a talking grey heron that promises that his mother is alive. José sees The Boy and the Heron as a masterpiece of cinema, a film that does things that other films have forgotten to do, a doorway to thinking about life, loss, and worlds within worlds. Mike... didn't really get on with it, but he puts it down to taste and maybe mood - any objection he has can be equally levelled at things he loves. We easily agree that Miyazaki's and Ghibli's reputation for visual design and craft holds, with image upon image here that dazzles. As for what it all adds up to? Take José's side. It's better to like things than be bored by them. Recorded on 30th December 2023.
Tras diez años de silencio, Hayao Miyazaki, el mítico realizador japonés, está de regreso con El niño y la garza (Kimitachi wa Dō Ikiru ka, 2023), un viaje místico y existencialista en el que seguimos a Mahito, un chico que al perder a su madre y ser enviado por su padre a vivir con su tía al campo emprende una odisea para salvarla y conocerse a sí mismo después de toparse con una extraña garza parlante.

In 2013, animator and Studio Ghibli co-founder Hayao Miyazaki released the film “The Wind Rises” then announced his retirement. This was not the first time he publicly retired, and it wouldn't be his last. This winter, Miyazaki, who is now 82 years old, has released a new film called “The Boy and The Heron.” It follows Mahito, a young boy who moves to the countryside with his father and new stepmother, after the death of his mom during World War II. When Mahito encounters a gray heron that taunts him with the suggestion that his mother may still be alive, he embarks on a journey into a strange world that fans of Miyazaki's other works will find themselves familiar with. ATMI producers Madison Knutson and Jordan Kehl sat down to talk about The Boy and the Heron, how it fits in among the rest of the Studio Ghibli filmography, and its vast English-dub voice cast. Hosted by Ormund Alaois. Music by Kendrick Whiteman and Devin Shreckengost. Alaska Teen Media Institute is based in Anchorage, Alaska. We would like to acknowledge the Dena'ina people, whose land we work on.

On this week's episode, the two Scotts are joined by Countdown co-host Jay Habib to crown the end of the Miyazaki Countdown series with Hayao Miyazaki's (second? third?) final film in his storied career, the animated fantasy adventure drama, THE BOY AND THE HERON. After a rich discussion of the recurring and new themes emerging in the twilight of Miyazaki's career, the central character of Mahito and how he's crucially different than so many Miyazaki protagonists that we've seen before, and the continued technical achievements of Studio Ghibli's animation under Miyazaki, the two Scotts slip a quick discussion of the LA Film Critics Association Awards.

This week on Kaizoku Uncharted, Jakia and Justin pick up where they left off with the fall season of shows. Jakia shares that she's still into Spy Family Season 2, whereas Justin thinks it's been more of a softer and calmer season and doesn't have as much impact as other shows this season. It escalated quickly in Migi & Dali and Jakia was right about the connection between the twins and Eiji. In Jujutsu Kaisen, Jakia isn't ready to put Mahito into the book, because everything he's doing is in alignment with his character. But Justin and Jakia both got hyped when they saw Todo start to clap! Jakia is smug in One Piece, highlighting that Luffy did have intentions of Yamato joining the Strawhats. There's a mini discussion on Blackbeard and what he's been up to and more! Tune in to hear their most anticipated for the winter season. All this and more in this week's episode of Kaizoku Uncharted!
(VERY MILD SPOILERS) Some good stuff to see at the movie theater this Holiday season and it's unfortunate that we can't get to them all. We had to go watch what many are advertising, perhaps falsely, as Hayao Miyazaki's last movie. He's retired at least once already but much like that veteran pro wrestler who just can't let it go, Miyazaki perhaps doesn't know what else to do with his time. As of this writing he has not officially retired but he is 83 and smokes so it's hard to say for sure. A firebombed Japan is the setting for the latest Miyazaki film “The Boy and the Heron” or 君たちはどう生きるか (How Do You Live?). Mahito lost his mother. The United States (we) firebombed the hospital where she worked and now Dad has met another lady and she seems nice and has seven lady dwarf assistants but Mahito struggles to face the new mother in his life. Also there's a Heron hanging around and starts to talk and that's all you really need to take it from here. It's a beautiful film absolutely without a doubt and highly recommended for the theater experience. A must for anyone who appreciates animation. It's nice to see true beauty in this world.

When it comes to the world of animation, there's nothing quite as enchanting as the films of Studio Ghibli. That is why we were very excited to see The Boy and The Heron recently in theaters as our International Feature for this month. We dive deep into what makes these films so special, share our candid reactions, and highlight our favorite voice actors from this movie.We breakdown why many Studio Ghibli films require multiple viewings to fully understand their essence, while also dissecting the unique pacing and cultural nuances of this film. We share our differing opinions on this film, ranging from disappointment to utter admiration for its visual brilliance. In addition, we discuss how personal experiences influenced our understanding and enjoyment of the film. We critique its reviews, performances, and overall appeal, leaving no stone unturned.IMDb Synopsis: A young boy named Mahito yearning for his mother ventures into a world shared by the living and the dead.

Like Chihiro in SPIRITED AWAY, the protagonist of Hayao Miyazaki's latest film, THE BOY AND THE HERON, is drawn into a fantastical world populated by strange creatures that help usher him through a coming-of-age journey — but Mahito is a very different protagonist, and his journey unfolds in a very different way. We're joined once again by Vulture editor and animation expert Eric Vilas-Boas to unpack the imagery and ideas populating Miyazaki's latest wonderland, and debate the animation auteur's feelings about birds, before bringing SPIRITED AWAY back in to compare these films' depictions of children and parents, villains and allies, and “weird little guys.” And in Your Next Picture Show, Eric offers a recommendation for another film that joins BOY AND THE HERON on his list of the year's best animation for Vulture.

Director: Hayao Miyazaki Writers: Hayao Miyazaki Starring: Runtime: 2 Hour 4 Minutes Synopsis: Already acclaimed as a masterpiece in Japan, Hayao Miyazaki's new film begins as a simple story of loss and love, and rises to become a staggering work of imagination. Already acclaimed as a masterpiece in Japan, Hayao Miyazaki's new film begins as a simple story of loss and love, and rises to a staggering work of imagination. Coming after the maker of Spirited Away and Princess Mononoke announced his retirement, The Boy and the Heron is an especially precious gift, and possibly the final film we will see from one of cinema's greatest artists. As a boy, Miyazaki read Genzaburo Yoshino's novel How Do You Live? and embraced it as his favourite. This film was initially announced as an adaptation of that book, but Miyazaki uses it instead as one of many layers in a dazzling tapestry that draws even more upon his own youth. During the Second World War, young Mahito Maki (Soma Santoki) suffers a heartbreaking family tragedy and must move immediately to the countryside, where his father (Takuya Kimura) works for a family making planes for Japan's military, as Miyazaki's own father did. Isolated, Mahito begins exploring the mysterious landscapes and encounters a grey heron, persistent in its presence. The boy also happens upon an abandoned tower. Curious, he enters. From there, The Boy and the Heron expands into a wondrous, often-startling phantasmagoria. Visually, the film shows Miyazaki at the height of his powers, filling the frame with gorgeous compositions, vibrant colour, and arresting movement. As it draws you deeper into its mysteries, The Boy and the Heron becomes richer, stranger, and more profoundly beautiful. This is a singular, transformative experience in film, and not to be missed. Everyone knows that Kriss doesn't watch anime but thanks to the Toronto Film Festival and the pre-festival buzz that Hayao Miyazaki's latest Studio Ghibili film was receiving, Kriss added The Boy and the Heron to his TIFF coverage list. And the film did not disappoint. Even for those that do not typically gravitate to anime or Studio Ghibili films, this film will definitely be relatable in its themes around grief, finding oneself and what it means to be a "good person". Another thing that works very well for this film is the time period around when this film takes place. Set during the Pacific War during World War 2, there are a lot of subtle (or not so subtle depending on one's understanding of history) that set a much darker and grim tone for this film. That understanding of some of the background action and characters only serves to make The Boy and the Heron even more of an intriguing and engaging films. Image credit: Courtesy of TIFF There have been a lot of great animated films this year but The Boy and the Heron might be one of the best looking films of the year. Audiences should definitely seek out IMAX showings of this film where possible. Even without IMAX, the film is absolutely stunning and pushes the bar higher for what audiences should demand from animated film visuals. The Boy and the Heron has received a lot of pre-festival buzz and it's all well worth it. Listen as Kriss, Ro and Brandon discuss The Boy and the Heron and dive deeper into the film and what makes it so good. The Boy and the Heron is now playing in US theaters.

Director: Hayao Miyazaki Writers: Hayao Miyazaki Starring: Runtime: 2 Hour 4 Minutes Synopsis: Already acclaimed as a masterpiece in Japan, Hayao Miyazaki's new film begins as a simple story of loss and love, and rises to become a staggering work of imagination. Already acclaimed as a masterpiece in Japan, Hayao Miyazaki's new film begins as a simple story of loss and love, and rises to a staggering work of imagination. Coming after the maker of Spirited Away and Princess Mononoke announced his retirement, The Boy and the Heron is an especially precious gift, and possibly the final film we will see from one of cinema's greatest artists. As a boy, Miyazaki read Genzaburo Yoshino's novel How Do You Live? and embraced it as his favourite. This film was initially announced as an adaptation of that book, but Miyazaki uses it instead as one of many layers in a dazzling tapestry that draws even more upon his own youth. During the Second World War, young Mahito Maki (Soma Santoki) suffers a heartbreaking family tragedy and must move immediately to the countryside, where his father (Takuya Kimura) works for a family making planes for Japan's military, as Miyazaki's own father did. Isolated, Mahito begins exploring the mysterious landscapes and encounters a grey heron, persistent in its presence. The boy also happens upon an abandoned tower. Curious, he enters. From there, The Boy and the Heron expands into a wondrous, often-startling phantasmagoria. Visually, the film shows Miyazaki at the height of his powers, filling the frame with gorgeous compositions, vibrant colour, and arresting movement. As it draws you deeper into its mysteries, The Boy and the Heron becomes richer, stranger, and more profoundly beautiful. This is a singular, transformative experience in film, and not to be missed. Everyone knows that Kriss doesn't watch anime but thanks to the Toronto Film Festival and the pre-festival buzz that Hayao Miyazaki's latest Studio Ghibili film was receiving, Kriss added The Boy and the Heron to his TIFF coverage list. And the film did not disappoint. Even for those that do not typically gravitate to anime or Studio Ghibili films, this film will definitely be relatable in its themes around grief, finding oneself and what it means to be a "good person". Another thing that works very well for this film is the time period around when this film takes place. Set during the Pacific War during World War 2, there are a lot of subtle (or not so subtle depending on one's understanding of history) that set a much darker and grim tone for this film. That understanding of some of the background action and characters only serves to make The Boy and the Heron even more of an intriguing and engaging films.

In this video, we delve into the heart-rending narrative of Junpei Yoshino in the hit anime series, Jujutsu Kaisen. Spoiler warning: if you haven't caught up with the show yet, proceed with caution. Junpei's story is undeniably one of the most sorrowful and emotionally charged arcs in Jujutsu Kaisen. As we witness his journey, we come to understand the depths of tragedy and the impact of society's cruelties on a young soul. Throughout the series, we are introduced to Junpei as a seemingly ordinary high school student, burdened by loneliness and alienation. But as the story unfolds, we learn that he has endured relentless bullying from his classmates due to his unconventional interests in movies and photography, making him an outcast in his own school. His constant rejection from his peers has isolated him, leaving him feeling abandoned and broken. However, Junpei's life takes a drastic turn when he encounters the charismatic and manipulative Mahito, a malicious Cursed Spirit. Mahito preys on Junpei's vulnerability, convincing him that the world is fundamentally flawed and that he should embrace his hatred for those who tormented him.

Itadori manages to save Nanami from Mahito's infinite domain. As a result of this fight against the curses (and Junpei), Itadori had killed someone which he'd sworn not to do and the school did take corrective action against bullies. With Itadori now strong enough to hold his own, Gojo and Nanami decide now is the perfect time to bring Itadori back to the school and announce that Itadori – Sukuna's vessel – is, in fact, not dead.

YIKES. Ronny and Chad mispronounce "Mahito" around 763 times. Chaz also mispronounces "Junpei" 334 times (Ronnie also manages to get it wrong a couple of time). We will definitely have this fixed by next episode. I would like to tell you that we will be better and more professional in the future, but I'm sure we won't.
