EP152 An Introduction to Daimyo Alternate Attendance – Sankin Kotai P2
Description
This episode we continue our discussion of the Edo-period concept of "Sankin Kotai" - Daimyo alternate attendance. The system of Sankin Kotai developed by the Tokugawa Shogunate required that Daimyo reside in the Tokugawa castle at Edo for periods of time, alternating with residence at the daimyo's own castle. It's a key component to understanding the Edo period, so we break it down for you.

I'm a novelist writing about Tokugawa-era Japan and I love all of the details on life at that time. Thank you! Question: If prisoners were being escorted from one place to another, would there be a plaque or banner announcing what their crime was? I'm thinking specifically about Kirishitan prisoners on their way to exile in early 1700s. Thank you! www.sonjaandersonbooks.com
