パペットホームズ、大河ドラマなどの好きなテレビ番組やラグビーについて書いています。アフィリエイトはやっていません。／Welcome to my blog. I write about some Japanese TV programmes including NHK puppetry and Taiga Drama, Sherlock Holmes and rugby. I don't do affiliate marketing.
In the 16th century Japan, samurais,
especially in higher ranks married a woman from the family on the same
status for political reasons. And many of them had a few concubines to
have many children however there were exceptions.
A
concubine could not have a wedding ceremony for she was thought not to
be a wife but a maid. The ceremony of SANADA Nobushige in the episode 11
of "Sanada Maru" is a fiction. In the episode, Masayuki, father of
Nobushige utilises it to execute his political enemy MUROGA Masatake.
The
heir of a samurai family was usually the eldest son of the head. If the
eldest son was not from the head's wife, the first son born between the
head and his wife was regarded as the heir. Brothers of the
heir served him or adopted by other families.
