徳川幕府が「江戸から最も遠ざけた」外様大名ベスト5

The Tokugawa Shogunate possessed several weapons to control the tozama daimyo (outside lords). These included confiscation of domains, reduction of territory, and the sankin-kōtai system (alternate attendance). And one more: "distance." Those who could not be crushed by force were moved as far away as possible from Edo, the center of power. This very act of distance reflected the fears the Shogunate harbored. Those kept at the northernmost reaches, those banished from Edo to the mountainous provinces of Dewa, a commander-in-chief with over a million koku of land confined to the westernmost tip of Honshu, and an independent nation sealed off at the southernmost tip of Japan—five tozama families ranked by their distance from Edo and the strength of the Shogunate's intention to "distance" them. What burdens did those who were distanced carry in their lives? Witness the drama of pride and perseverance behind the quiet power struggle of these territories. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ■ About the Narration The narration on this channel is produced using the real voices of professional narrators.
