It馆l1n"i1b，0idly ，he yぉry popularity of "Shogun" that has led puii，t6 to point out Inaccuracies and distortions
Nevertheless "Shogun，， does present an enjoyぉbleれ troducMon to the 1cnow【edge of Japanese history and cul, ture， and曹t Is rep01led that many American colleges a re us，ng the novel for study and detailed analysis.
It was the year1600 when an Englishman W HI lam Adams (played In the series by Cham, beiiain) with the crew of a Dutch ship "Uefde" (Charity) was rescued by the Japanese off the coast of southern Japan-Adams was "pilot major"
which had sailed to South A me ilea. Only two ships sur vived a storm near the Straight of Mage Han and the remaining crew decided to cross the Pacけic Ocean to evade the Spanish ships. Only one ship managed to survive the long journey.
Because of his knowledge of ships and nav薩gaUon， Adams found favor wけh a lord, Togugawa ，yeyasa (called Toranaga in the series). In October of the same year that Adams landed in Japan, lye* yasu defeated Ws rivals, headed by Ishida Mけsunari， in a decisive ba川e of Seki-gehara. lyeyasu became Sho' gun in1603， while Adams married a Japanese girl and raised a famHy.
In1610, Don Rodeiigo， who was temporary governor of the Spanish colony of Philippines, was on his wdy to Mexico when his ship was wrecked off the coast of Japan not far from present day Tokyo. Don Rodeiigo was rescued and he resumed his voyage to Mexico on the first Japanese ship to cross the Pacific Ocean. The ship was built
Adams.
Although Adams was later given permission to return to England, fate decreed other' wise and he died in Japan In 1620. The latter part of h，s lけe was spen', working for an English firm established on the island o Hirado， near Nagasaki， and Adams' sea voyages were confined to southeast Asほwhere he made several voyages on behalf of h，8 employer.

The crlUc,sm in Japan Is said to have been directed at the fact that the Japanese have been depicted as being exceedingly brutal and cruel. The gratuけous beheading of a commoner for not bowing before a nobleman, for exam* pie. Such an !ncldent was not impossible, but uncommon, and disregards the concern for humanけy taught by Zen masters.
On the other hand, It does seem that Japanese of all strata in society are depicted, accurately, to be sophisticated and civiHzed， especially when contrasted to the uncouth DiHch seamen.
Japan at the time was env erging from many years of in-
miHtary logおtics was capable of attempting a war of con' quest on the mainland of Asia. A military expedition mounted by Hideyoshi, predecessor of lyeyasu as the dominant lord In Japan, involved the transporting of 300，000 warriors by ship to Korea in 1592. Contrast this to the vaunted Spanish Ammda of 1588 which involved 7000 seamen plus17，000 troops for a total (^f 24,000 men on 120 ships.
Engほnd in the1600's was in the period of Elizabethan dominance and the entire continent of Europe was about to show unprecedented activity In a wide field of endeavour, of discovery and colonialism, of trade and commercial expansion, and a wave of industrial revolutions.
Meanwhile, alarmed by the intrusion of Christen mlss，o' n a lies wけh obscure motives, Japan was about to close its doors (which she finally did by decree in1635) and crawl into her shell of isolation for two and a half centuries.
