Storyline



John Blackthorne, an English ship pilot, whose vessel wrecked upon the

Japanese coast in the early 17th century is forced to deal with the two

most powerful men in Japan in these days. He is thrown in the midst of a

war between Toranaga and Ishido, who struggle for the title of Shogun

which will give ultimate power to the one who possesses it.

Written by Harald Mayr



In the 16th Century, a Dutch ship sails the Pacific from the Americas in

order to escape the Spanish. Blackthorn is the pilot of the ship and the

first to realize the possibilities of Japan. Japan is a feudal society which

has a strong presence of the Portugese. A struggle is in the final stages

for who will be the Shogun, the leader who, under the emperor, governs

the land. Toranaga sees in Blackthorn things he can use to at least survive

the struggle to come, and if both play their hands correctly, become

Shogun. Written by John Vogel



Super-rich in history with one of the most interesting characters, Anjin-san

(Japanese for Mr. Pilot). Anjin-san is marooned in feudal Japan and makes a

decision to change his Western thinking and fit in to the totally foreign but

alluring Japanese society.



He is drawn into a forbidden love with a Japanese noblewoman, while

battling jealous Japanese nobles and fanatical Jesuits. He earns the trust of

Lord Torenaga who is a wise tactician in the art of waging war and

diplomacy. Can Anjin-san survive the constant perils he is put into and win

the hand of the woman he loves? Many scenes are in Japanese, but if you

had no problem with The Last Samauri, it should pose no problem here.



Quotes

[after Blackthorne's guard prevented an assassination attempt by

Rodrigues]

Pilot-Major John Blackthorne: Captain Yoshinaka was right to search him.

Was that your idea?

Lady Toda Buntaro - Mariko: Please excuse me, but I was afraid for you.

Pilot-Major John Blackthorne: Sad, isn't it? Not being able to trust anyone.

Lady Toda Buntaro - Mariko: It is not sad, Anjin-san. It is just one of life's

most important rules.
