In the midst of the 1 3th century,
on the Asian continent
Genghis Khan's son Kublai had
constructed the Mongolian Empire,
and in seeking to put the Korean Peninsula as
well as Japan under its influence
demanded Japan to submit tributes.
The arrival of the letter, which hinted at the use
of force, shocked the Kamakura Shoganate
and the lmperial court turned pale with fear
by such an unprecedented major event.
After repeated conferences the decision was
made to reject the proclamation from Mongolia,
resulting in the attack by large Mongolian
forces on the costal region of Kyushu
shortly after 1274, followed by another in 1 281
What's up with them?
coming in droves to attack Kyushu.
Because of that, I heard they've been rounding
up crooks to send them over to Hakata.
Sh*t, we should run away!
Help!
Brother! What's going on?
Damn you! Where are you taking my brother?
Let him go! Let my brother go!
Punish her!
Yes, sir!
Hatsune!
Savages! Murderers! Demons!
What did you just say?!
You'll pay for this!
Murderers like you are destined
to burn in the demon's cauldron!
I can't be a murderer if I don't believe
in your monk's made up stories.
And more importantly have a look,
the crows already have their eyes on her.
We are always the ones
who get treated so horribly
Zenkatsuji,
it seems you're still a poor writer of songs.
As I am an old man I can only
accompany my lord's whims to a point.
and I told you many times how
it doesn't fit my personality.
Not making any poems and constantly drinking
You are one helpless chief counselor
Yes, but this is the last. Forgive me.
has lulled my old body
and I feel pleasantly sleepy.
You mean you are sleepy from alcohol.
Such songs of love,
No matter how much preasure is put on me,
at my age they are empty words.
Take a look, Seienji's face is filled with life.
Is there anything the matter, old man?
I'm saying that I'm jealous of you.
"Hidden Love"
"Past Love"
"Love at Dawn"
"Love in the Afternoon"
"Distant Love"
"close Love"
"Love During Travel"
These topics seem like Lord Tameie
was coming up with them just for you.
By the way, Lord Tameie
Yes
I hear that you were quite the master
of kemari when you were young
No, No. It was not that impressive
No, he possessed magnificent skill
it's unfortunate that I do not have any
memory of seeing Lord Tameie play kemari
Though his father Lord Sadaie did
seem to have a permanent illness
Indeed. I had a folding screen made of the 1 00
preeminent songs he wrote while at our retreat
in Mt.Kokura
but the letters were thick and seemed to
have been done with trembling hands
so he probably had a disability,
although he still lived a very long life
He also seemed to get long with
the samurai from Kanto
Unlike us, he seemed to have an eye
for understanding current events.
That, Mr. Sanjyo, is because they welcomed
in his wife from Mr. Saienji's house.
Lord Tameie's mother did come
from Seienji's house.
Unlike us,
cooped up in the capital obsessed over old
traditions like frogs in a well,
Seienji's family is equipped with robust wit,
capable of making friends with the
wild bunch in Kamakura.
Isn't that so, Mr. Tameie, Mr. Saienji?
Lord Tameie
What do you think is the secret
to improve one's song writing?
Well, my father Lord Teika...
Nevermind about Lord Teika
I would like to hear your personal thoughts
In that case, to write a song,
one does not necessarily
need intelligence or education,
but what is important is that it comes
from one's own nature and one's heart
Emperor Juntoku and Emperor Gotaba
had also mentioned...
Right, right. So now these are the words of
Emperor Juntoku and Emperor Gotaba
But as I understand...
What is more important is one's daily practice
Even if one writes a masterpiece one day,
if one neglects their practice the next
one will only come out average
resulting in impressions that might have people
say, "you got someone else to write it"
Practice?
That is something that is necessary.
By the way, Lord Tameie, do you have
fun when you are writing songs?
Well...
whether it is fun... Such matters I don't usually...
"even think about it" is what you want to say
That must be what a happy life is like
But since I live putting effort in
having fun, I undertand you
and still lonely winds blow through your life
Living within the lake of lotus leaves
The turtle drawn to the city of gems
Finally gets to play after an eternity
My lord, I received notice from the capital, the
Mongoloids ransacked Tsushima and lchiki,
and after they passed Hizen by Matsura,
they landed in Hakata
where they commenced atrocities utilizing
governmental palace,
but upon returning to their ships there was a
sudden downpour and gusts of wind,
with many of their ships sinking,
the rest fled to shallower shores
It has come as celebratory news, once the
