00:00Although it was a coincidental victory, all the defeats were inevitable.
00:07How did the great men who colored the history of Japan lose?
00:13What was the cause and mistake behind it?
00:18This time, we will talk about the tragic defeat of the heroine, Hosokawa Garasha, who lived as a Christian like a Sengoku.
00:29According to his father, Akechi Mitsuhide,
00:33the fate of carrying a heavy cross
00:38and the proud decision he made in a desperate situation
00:46is a lesson from the failures of the defeated,
00:53the great men of the Sengoku period.
01:02What do we learn from the failures of the great men of the Sengoku period?
01:09I'm Yuri Nakanishi, voice of Shinko.
01:14And I'm Jun Ito, a historian.
01:17Nice to meet you.
01:19The Sengoku period was a time when Japan and the West met,
01:24but the origin of Christianity had a great impact.
01:29In the first place, in 1549,
01:34Francis Xavier began to preach about Kagoshima.
01:39After all, Xavier lived in Japan for two years and three months,
01:43and he visited Kagoshima, Hirato, Yamaguchi, and Kyoto.
01:48It was his first visit to Kagoshima,
01:51and he didn't have a big impact on Buddhism.
01:54But Xavier built a foundation for Buddhism in Kyushu,
01:57and it was later passed on to other religious leaders.
02:01That was the situation.
02:03So, this time, here it is.
02:06I'd like to focus on the defeat of the Christian, Hosokawa Garasha,
02:11who lived a proud life as a wife of the Sengoku Emperor.
02:15Speaking of Garasha, he was a Christian,
02:18and he was also the daughter of Akechi Mitsuhide, a very famous person.
02:22I don't know much about the other parts.
02:25What kind of person was he?
02:27Garasha was born in Echizen in 1563 as the third daughter of Akechi Mitsuhide.
02:35His mother's name was Hiroko, and she was a noble woman.
02:40Mitsuhide's children are said to have been born
02:44by three men after four women.
02:49However, Mitsuhide was not yet able to serve Nobunaga,
02:53so he was a guest of Asakura in Echizen.
02:57Mitsuhide heard that Nobunaga was going to settle in Yoshihaki,
03:03and he became a nobleman who could serve Yoshihaki and Nobunaga.
03:09Following Nobunaga's growth, Mitsuhide became successful,
03:15and following Nobunaga's orders,
03:18he married Hosokawa Tadaboki.
03:22That's the story.
03:25This time, we will look at the teachings of Garasha
03:29and the reason for his defeat.
03:32First, let's see what kind of person Garasha Hosokawa was.
03:39Garasha Hosokawa, who survived the war as a Christian,
03:43was thought to have been born in the north of Fukui Prefecture,
03:49the country of Echizen, as the third daughter of Akechi Mitsuhide in 1563.
03:57At the age of 16, he married Hosokawa Tadaboki,
04:01the son of Hosokawa Fujitaka, the god of Oda,
04:05and the wife of Hosokawa Tadaboki.
04:11The couple lived happily ever after,
04:14but four years after their marriage,
04:17fate suddenly changed.
04:21Mitsuhide's father attacked Nobunaga and killed him.
04:29Just 11 days later,
04:32Mitsuhide was defeated by Hashiba Hideyoshi and died.
04:37Garasha, who became an unmarried woman,
04:40was forced to live in a remote mountain village.
04:44About two years later, Garasha was forgiven by Hideyoshi
04:48and began to live with her husband Tadaboki again.
04:53However, he was not allowed to go out of the mansion in Osaka,
04:58so he had to spend his days in seclusion.
05:03In the meantime, a ray of hope shone into Garasha.
05:07It was an encounter with the Christian church.
05:10Garasha found out that Tadaboki was attacking Hideyoshi,
05:15so she became a member of the Christian church.
05:19The name of the church is Garasha, which means the blessing of God.
05:26Garasha's wife was welcomed by the Jesuits,
05:30who were doing religious activities in Japan at the time,
05:34and her name was later known far and wide in Europe.
05:39However, when Hideyoshi died and the conflict between Toyotomi and Kashin began,
05:45Garasha was engulfed in the whirlpool of battle.
05:51Tadaboki joined Tokugawa Ieyasu and went to attack Aizu.
05:56In the meantime, Ishida Mitsunari and the others joined forces
06:00and surrounded the mansion where Garasha lived.
06:05At that time, Garasha refused to become a hostage
06:09and chose a path that would cost her life.
06:13The Moment of Garasha's Defeat
06:17Why didn't Garasha choose to survive?
06:23This time, we will look at the loss of Hosokawa Garasha,
06:27who risked her own life for her own will.
06:32Now, let's look back at the main events of Garasha's life.
06:37Garasha was recommended by Nobunaga to marry Hosokawa Tadaboki.
06:43Was this a so-called strategy marriage?
06:46I think it's a good idea.
06:48There is a record that this marriage was clearly ordered by Nobunaga.
06:52What's interesting about Tadaboki is that he's a man of martial arts,
06:56or he's a man of martial arts.
06:58He's a man of martial arts?
07:00Yes, he's a man of martial arts.
07:02His colleagues are Kato Kiyomasa and Fukushima Masanori,
07:05who are well-known for their martial arts.
07:08In order not to be looked down upon,
07:11he had to act like a man of martial arts.
07:15I think his true nature is that he was influenced by his father, Fujitaka,
07:19and was a top-class cultural figure.
07:21He's a man of martial arts,
07:23and he's considered one of the best martial artists in Rikyu.
07:29How was his relationship with Garasha?
07:32When he was with his friends,
07:36he had to do and say what he stole.
07:39I think that kind of stress distorted his personality.
07:43On the other hand,
07:45it became a bit of an abnormality in his family.
07:49I think Garasha was affected by Tadaboki's abnormality.
07:53At first, they were quite close,
07:57but I think Garasha's heart gradually left Tadaboki.
08:01The one who changed Garasha's fate
08:04was Mitsuhide's father, Honnoji.
08:07After that, Garasha decided to live a life of rebellion,
08:10and eventually he was fascinated by Christianity.
08:13What happened to her?
08:15Let's take a look.
08:18Kyoto Prefecture, Nagaoka Prefecture
08:22Garasha was 16 years old in 1578.
08:26He married Hosokawa Sadaoki, who was the same age as him,
08:30and lived in this prefecture for about two years.
08:38Mr. Kono, who knows the history of his hometown,
08:41talks about the life of the couple at that time.
08:46Garasha, who came to marry him,
08:48and Sadaoki, who was 16 years old,
08:52and Man, who was 15 years old.
08:54They were in the first year of high school.
08:57They were so close that they could have two children
09:01in just two years.
09:03I think they were so close that they couldn't be separated.
09:08Two years later, Tadaboki's father, Fujitaka,
09:11conquered Tang, Han, and the Twelve Kingdoms,
09:15and moved to Miyazujo, where he wanted to build a bridge over the Ama River.
09:20Garasha and Tadaboki loved each other,
09:24but Tadaboki was more attracted to Garasha.
09:29Tadaboki would hit the gardener
09:32just because he was close to Garasha,
09:35and he would fire the cook
09:38because Garasha had hair in her hair.
09:41They were so in love with each other.
09:47Mr. An, who studies the life of Hosokawa Garasha
09:50from Christian documents,
09:54thinks about their personalities.
10:00Tadaboki was a warrior for four years,
10:04but he was very strict and short-tempered
10:07in his family.
10:10On the other hand, Garasha was very smart,
10:14and she was as strong as her husband.
10:17She was a strong woman.
10:22They were not in love with each other,
10:25but they were in love with each other
10:28as if they were warriors
10:31who lived together in the world of war.
10:39Garasha was hurt by Tadaboki
10:42for a few days
10:45because he hit the gardener
10:48just because he was close to Garasha.
10:54Something happened to Garasha
10:57and she was thrown into the abyss.
11:00Her father, Mitsuhide,
11:03lost to Hideyoshi
11:06and died 11 days later.
11:10Mitsuhide and Tadaboki's father, Fujitaka,
11:13were good friends who supported Nobunaga.
11:17Mitsuhide was convinced that
11:20Tadaboki and Tadaboki's father
11:23would help Mitsuhide in his own battle.
11:30However, Fujitaka gave up his family
11:33to Tadaboki regardless of Mitsuhide's request
11:36even though he was given a death sentence.
11:41Mr. Ohada, who is familiar with the turmoil
11:44of the Toyotomi regime,
11:47said this about Fujitaka's decision.
11:51Fujitaka Hosogawa
11:54was close to Hideyoshi.
11:57He highly appreciated Hideyoshi's ability.
12:00When Hideyoshi and Mitsuhide
12:03were in a heavy battle,
12:06I was wondering which one would win.
12:09I made my own decision.
12:12I thought Hideyoshi had a chance to win
12:15and Mitsuhide didn't.
12:18I made a quick decision.
12:22At that time, Garasha...
12:25First of all, I was very surprised
12:28and confused by my father's defeat.
12:31My husband, Tadaboki and Fujitaka,
12:34who abandoned my father,
12:37were not convinced.
12:40On the other hand,
12:43Fujitaka and Tadaboki,
12:46who always considered
12:49the future of the Hosogawa family,
12:52had no choice but to give up.
12:56Garasha, who lost her family
12:59and became an independent woman,
13:02became the current president
13:05of the Hosogawa family.
13:08She was buried in the mountains
13:11of Kyotango City, Kyoto Prefecture.
13:15A stone monument of the Hosogawa family
13:18was left in the place
13:21where she was buried.
13:24Where was Tadaboki's aim?
13:28The Akechi family was destroyed.
13:31I couldn't go back to my parents' house
13:34because I had no place to go.
13:37In the end, in order to show Hideyoshi
13:40my attitude,
13:43I buried him.
13:46I buried him to show him
13:49that I had already separated from him.
13:52I may have had the feeling
13:55that I should return to him sooner or later.
13:59In a life of separation from her husband and children
14:03Garasha was happy to have a son.
14:08I don't think I could have returned
14:11to the Hosogawa family so easily.
14:14I was prepared to die.
14:17If I had gone that far,
14:20I wouldn't have been so attached to living.
14:23On the contrary,
14:26I went to the same place
14:29and gave birth there.
14:32I was attached to my children.
14:35That's how I was able to live
14:38day by day.
14:41During this time,
14:44Tadaboki made peace with Hideyoshi and Yoshimi
14:47and made peace with them.
14:50Tadaboki gained Hideyoshi's trust.
14:53In about two years,
14:56Hideyoshi and Tadaboki were reunited.
14:59Considering the years I spent
15:02away from my children,
15:05the reunion with my children
15:08was the greatest joy.
15:11After that, Garasha began to live
15:14in the Hosogawa mansion in Osaka.
15:17However, Garasha's behavior was severely restricted
15:20and he was kept under surveillance
15:24For Tadaboki,
15:27he didn't want Hideyoshi to look down on him.
15:30He was self-restricted.
15:33I think this was the time
15:36when Hideyoshi was thinking about
15:39his own feelings.
15:42He had the eyes of a murderer's daughter.
15:45His husband was very strict.
15:48His life was like a prison.
15:52For Garasha,
15:55Osaka was a tough place to live.
16:04While Garasha was living a hard life,
16:07a woman came to him
16:10and became his support.
16:13She was Kiyohara Ito,
16:16a maid.
16:19Ito, who had been in contact with Christ since childhood,
16:22talked about faith in his daily conversation
16:25and comforted Garasha's heart.
16:31In addition, he heard from his husband
16:34about Takayama Ukon,
16:37a Christian monk who had faith in Tadaboki.
16:40He was very impressed with Christ.
16:44There is a God who will save me.
16:50After that, Garasha acted boldly.
17:14In 1587,
17:17when Tadaboki attacked Hideyoshi,
17:20Garasha made a promise
17:23that he would go to the tomb of his grave.
17:26He went to the church in secret,
17:29disguised as a nun.
17:37Garasha was fascinated by the beautiful altar.
17:40In order to know the difference
17:43between Zen Buddhism and Christianity,
17:46Garasha asked various questions.
17:52I think it was about the salvation of the soul.
17:55There is a keyword,
17:58the resurrection of the spirit,
18:01written in the book of Jesus.
18:04By listening to the salvation of the soul
18:07and the resurrection of the spirit,
18:10Garasha asked himself
18:13what he should do
18:16for the salvation of the soul
18:19of his father and his family
18:22who were already dead.
18:27Garasha was surprised by Garasha's enthusiasm
18:30to learn more about Christianity.
18:34I have never spoken to a woman
18:37who can make such a wise and decisive judgment.
18:41Garasha was moved by the story of the nun
18:44and wished to receive the Holy Spirit immediately.
18:48Please, I beg you.
18:51Please give me the Holy Spirit.
18:54I have no other desire than to live
18:57according to the will of Jesus.
19:00Please, I beg you.
19:04However, his wish did not come true.
19:08Relatives of the church,
19:10who were suspicious of Garasha's whereabouts,
19:13suspected that the nun was Hideyoshi's wife.
19:20The church could not give the Holy Spirit
19:23to Hideyoshi's wife,
19:25who denied her virginity.
19:30The fact that Hideyoshi went to the church
19:33without permission made the surveillance of Garasha
19:36even more strict.
19:38However, his desire for Christianity
19:41continued to grow.
19:43During that time,
19:45the nuns of Garasha,
19:47including Ito,
19:49received the Holy Spirit one after another.
19:52The number of the nuns exceeded 16.
19:56Through the nuns who received the Holy Spirit,
19:59Garasha learned the teachings of the Holy Spirit
20:02and encouraged her to believe.
20:05About four months after the church visit,
20:08Garasha finally received permission from the church
20:11and was officially baptized
20:13by Ito,
20:15who was one of the reasons
20:17why Garasha began to follow the path of faith.
20:22In the record of Jesus Christ,
20:25Garasha was very satisfied
20:28with the Holy Spirit.
20:30By following the path of faith,
20:33she was freed from anxiety and worry
20:36and was saved.
20:39Garasha was baptized
20:41right after Hideyoshi
20:43announced the baptism of the Holy Spirit.
20:47As the suppression of Christianity began,
20:50the fact that Garasha became a Christian
20:53was a great hope for the Jesuits
20:57However, Garasha's deep faith
21:00was greatly affected by her fate.
21:10I thought,
21:12why do I have to live like this
21:15when I didn't do anything wrong?
21:18I thought,
21:20this is the way
21:22that Christ will solve
21:24the problems of the world.
21:26I agree.
21:28I think the change of instinct
21:30changed the fate of many people.
21:33After all, Mitsuhide died,
21:35and his mother, Hiroko,
21:37and his sister committed suicide.
21:39At that time,
21:40he was conscious of his own death for the first time.
21:43But why didn't he commit suicide there?
21:46Because he was a child.
21:48At that time,
21:49his eldest son, Tadataka, was also there.
21:53At that time,
21:54Garasha's family was gone,
21:56and Garasha's foundation was weak.
21:59If Garasha committed suicide there,
22:02and the Holy Spirit was thrown out,
22:05the possibility of a child
22:07who was born after Tadataka
22:09becoming a Christian was high.
22:11Then, Tadataka's situation was not good.
22:14At that time,
22:15Tadaoki still had feelings for Garasha.
22:18However,
22:20Tadataka wanted to hide Garasha
22:22and wait for him.
22:23In other words,
22:24Tadataka wanted Tadataka to wait for him
22:26because Tadataka would cool down.
22:28Garasha became more and more
22:30devoted to Christianity.
22:32Yes.
22:33What do you think was the biggest reason?
22:36The biggest reason was
22:38that his life was so hard
22:40since the time of Honnoji.
22:42I think that was the biggest reason.
22:45There is a record that
22:47Tadataka visited the church
22:49at the time of Honnoji.
22:51Yes, there is.
22:52At that time,
22:53Tadataka was on an expedition to Kyushu
22:55to fight against Shimazushi.
22:57That was the reason.
22:58However,
22:59Garasha was not in the mansion.
23:01That's right.
23:02He was found in the evening
23:04and brought back.
23:06After that,
23:07Tadataka came back,
23:09and the security became very strict.
23:11Actually,
23:12Garasha visited the church
23:14only once.
23:16When a ray of light shines
23:18into the gloomy darkness,
23:20I feel like I want to cling to it.
23:23But it's dangerous
23:25to get too close to it.
23:30Garasha was baptized by Christ.
23:32After that,
23:33as a wife of a samurai,
23:35he was engulfed in the whirlpool
23:37of fighting to divide the Toyotomi government.
23:39Here is the decision
23:41that Garasha made
23:44In 1587,
23:46Garasha became a Christian
23:48at the age of 25.
23:50Since then,
23:51Garasha's personality
23:53has changed a lot.
23:56Garasha was in a state
23:58close to being engulfed
24:00in the whirlpool of fighting.
24:02Garasha was in a state
24:04close to being engulfed
24:06in the whirlpool of fighting.
24:08However,
24:09by having faith,
24:11Garasha became more open-minded.
24:15However,
24:16when Tadaoki returned from Kyushu,
24:18he was suspicious of Kashu.
24:22Garasha didn't realize
24:24that he had become a Christian,
24:26but when he found out
24:28that his wife had been rejuvenated,
24:30he was furious and worked hard.
24:32Probably,
24:33Tadaoki thought that
24:35Garasha and his family
24:37would be rejuvenated
24:40and he was concerned about
24:42that.
24:45Tadaoki was most worried
24:47about Garasha's recovery.
24:49Tadaoki was most worried about
24:51Garasha's recovery.
24:53In the process,
24:54he was angry that
24:56the people around him
24:58should not be rejuvenated.
25:00He was angry that
25:02the people around him
25:04should not be rejuvenated.
25:06Garasha was disappointed
25:08Garacha finally made up her mind.
25:13I will marry Lady Tadaoki and go on a pilgrimage.
25:20Garacha's most trusted missionary, Organtino,
25:24realized that she would not be allowed to get a divorce,
25:28but it did not reach her heart.
25:30So she showed Garacha a quote from the French philosopher Gerson.
25:38The one who escapes from a cross will carry an even bigger one.
25:48Garacha's cross means that she will continue her marriage to Lady Tadaoki
25:53and protect the Hosokawa family.
25:55If she escapes from the cross,
25:57she will have an even more difficult life,
26:00so she decided not to get a divorce.
26:04Garacha accepted Organtino's persuasion and continued her marriage.
26:10Later, Tadaoki, who became Garacha's husband,
26:13realized that her faith was unwavering,
26:17and witnessed her faith.
26:26In the summer of 1595,
26:28Toyotomi Hidesugu, the son of Hideyoshi,
26:31was suspected of treason.
26:35Tadaoki, who borrowed money from Hidesugu,
26:38was also suspected of treason.
26:44If I am ordered to commit adultery,
26:47I will make you do the same.
26:51Garacha was going to obey her husband.
26:54Garacha was going to obey her husband.
26:58However...
27:00Suicide is a serious crime.
27:02It is an unforgivable act.
27:06According to the documents of the church,
27:08Garacha committed suicide following Padre's instructions.
27:12I think the church asked Garacha
27:15to commit suicide following Padre's instructions.
27:18to commit suicide following Padre's instructions.
27:21to commit suicide following Padre's instructions.
27:24In this case, Garacha did not commit suicide
27:27because it was unforgivable.
27:32Meanwhile, a major incident took place in Kyoto.
27:38In 1597,
27:40Hideyoshi, who was in a critical condition
27:43due to his active religious activities,
27:46wrote a letter to 26 Christian priests in Nagasaki.
27:49wrote a letter to 26 Christian priests in Nagasaki.
27:52wrote a letter to 26 Christian priests in Nagasaki.
27:55In other words, it was a letter from 26 priests.
27:58In other words, it was a letter from 26 priests.
28:01Garacha, who listened to the letter,
28:04gave an interjection.
28:06Since Padre's instructions,
28:09she has made efforts to be a religious believer.
28:13For her, religious faith is to accept death or death itself.
28:19Because she chose death,
28:22her longing and feelings for it grew even stronger.
28:28And then, tragedy struck...
28:31After this, Ogarasha made a tragic decision.
28:46After Hideyoshi left this world, Tokugawa Ieyasu, who exposed Tenkatori's ambitions,
28:52defeated his rivals one after another.
28:55Then, one of his own men, Uesugi Kagekatsu,
28:59accused him of treason and tried to punish him.
29:05Tadauki was grateful to Ieyasu for giving him money to pay off his debts.
29:13So he followed Ieyasu and went to Aizu.
29:17He left a message to his subordinates.
29:22If his wife's honor is in danger,
29:26he should kill her and let everyone follow him.
29:33Mitsunari Ishida might come to take over Osaka as a hostage.
29:43If his wife is taken as a hostage,
29:48his actions will be restricted.
29:53He wanted to avoid that.
29:55So he said, if he is taken as a hostage,
30:00he should rather die.
30:03In a way, he was a man who could say that.
30:06After Ieyasu left Osaka, Mitsunari and Ishida joined the army.
30:18They tried to take over Osaka as a hostage.
30:26Mitsunari ordered Hosokawa family to send a messenger to Osaka.
30:34But Hosokawa refused.
30:38I will not step out of the mansion.
30:44Tadauki's wife acted shamelessly.
30:50So she followed her husband's order.
30:54She chose to run away.
30:57In the case of Takei, she did not cry.
31:01But she chose not to run away.
31:05She was a teacher to Mitsuhide's daughter.
31:18On July 17th, the Western army surrounded Hosokawa's mansion.
31:25Garasha heard the situation.
31:28He prayed to God.
31:30Then he gathered his wives and said,
31:34It is the order of the Lord.
31:36I am the only one who should die.
31:41When his wives left the mansion in tears,
31:44Garasha ordered Tadauki, who had served as a guard for a long time, to stab himself.
31:52Lord Kugata, I am sorry.
31:58Garasha was engulfed in flames.
32:05Garasha was defeated.
32:09Mitsunari gave up taking the hostage.
32:16At that time, the missionaries concluded that
32:21Garasha's death was not against the teachings of Christianity.
32:28They were relieved to know that this would not be a blasphemy against God.
32:35Also, it was in line with their desire for religion.
32:40Garasha accepted death with great satisfaction.
32:45I think that was the way she died.
32:52This is the life of Garasha.
32:56Only by knowing the time when flowers should not wither,
33:00the world's flowers become flowers, and people become people.
33:06Flowers are beautiful because they know the time when they will wither.
33:10I think it is time for people to wither, just like flowers.
33:20I think it was a tragic end.
33:24What was in the mind of Garasha, who was prepared to die?
33:31Was he satisfied? Or was he in despair?
33:37It's hard to say.
33:40As a Jesuit, I don't want to spoil Hideyoshi's mood.
33:45I think it is natural for him to want to leave Tadaoki.
33:53Even if Garasha wants to escape from Tadaoki,
33:58I think it was a shock for Garasha that Hideyoshi,
34:03in spite of his political considerations,
34:08used sarcasm to denounce Lee En.
34:11Was he jealous of Tadaoki?
34:15It's hard to say. I don't think he was jealous.
34:18I don't think he was jealous because he loved Tadaoki.
34:22I think he had a strong psycopathic tendency.
34:27In other words, he was planning to kill Tadaoki
34:30so that he wouldn't be left alone at work.
34:33So when he came home,
34:35his family, Garasha, had a hard time.
34:39I think that was the situation.
34:43Garasha chose his own path when he was surrounded by the mansion.
34:48Why do you think so?
34:52Here is Jun Ito's point of view,
34:55looking at the other side of history from the point of view of a historian.
35:00I think it was because he was jealous of Tadaoki.
35:03In other words, he was jealous of Tadaoki.
35:06His husband wasn't the reason for his jealousy.
35:09Hideyoshi was the only one who asked for help.
35:12Because of his political considerations,
35:15he didn't accept Lee En and Tadaoki.
35:18I think Garasha had a lot of despair and despair for Tadaoki.
35:23And he didn't want to live any longer.
35:26If he wanted to kill me,
35:28he wanted me to cross the river.
35:31That's why he killed me.
35:34He decided to live a life full of pain and suffering.
35:40But if he lived,
35:42he wouldn't feel like a new future had opened up.
35:48After the death of Garasha, her name became a foreign country.
35:51Eventually, her reputation was reversed.
35:55Here is what Garasha left in history.
36:00As Tadaoki learned of Garasha's death,
36:04he was deeply saddened,
36:07but he contributed to the victory of the Eastern Army in the battle of Sekigahara.
36:11After the war, the Hosokawa family was exiled to Kyushu.
36:19It is said that Tadaoki held a mass in Buzen, not only in Osaka, but also in Nihonsaki,
36:23to commemorate Garasha's death.
36:29Tadaoki had a strong desire to die for himself.
36:36He wanted to stop Bodai.
36:39He wanted to do it himself.
36:43So he held a mass
36:46and buried himself.
36:50Garasha's death and her faith
36:53were passed on to Europe by the Jesuits.
36:58At the end of the 17th century,
37:00an opera starring Garasha,
37:02Kijou na Kifujin,
37:04was screened in a theater in Vienna.
37:06It was very popular.
37:11Garasha, the queen of the Tango,
37:15endured the persecution of her husband.
37:19She protected her faith.
37:21After her husband's death,
37:23she repented.
37:25In Europe at that time,
37:27as a symbol of the faith of Catholic believers,
37:32she captured the hearts of many people.
37:38Professor Nagaoka, from Kyoto,
37:40who spent the time of Garasha's marriage.
37:44Every November,
37:46a festival to commemorate Garasha's death is held.
37:49It is a local specialty.
37:53What is the charm of Garasha Hosokawa,
37:56who lived a turbulent life with a deep faith?
38:01In her case,
38:03there was almost nothing she could do.
38:06She was a woman who could decide
38:10whether to live or die.
38:13In the end,
38:15she chose to choose death.
38:20Even now,
38:22many people still accept her choice.
38:26I can sympathize with her.
38:29I respect her.
38:32The name of Garasha Hosokawa
38:34is still being talked about.
38:38Garasha Hosokawa,
38:40who was tormented by her fate,
38:43finally chose her own will.
38:47It was to put an end to her life with her own hands.
38:55In order to protect the honor of her husband,
38:58Tadaoki, and the pride of her daughter,
39:01Mitsuhide,
39:04Garasha's dignified way of life
39:07has transcended time
39:09and is sending us a strong message.
39:19Of course,
39:21she had a strong faith in Christianity.
39:24But more than that,
39:26she wanted to show her own will,
39:28her own choice.
39:30Garasha can feel that.
39:32Yes, she can.
39:34But she was in a very difficult position.
39:37She was suffering.
39:39In the end,
39:41she could only ask for salvation through death.
39:45I think that was her tragedy.
39:49I sympathize with her.
39:52It must have been hard for her.
39:55Yes, it was.
39:57As I mentioned earlier,
39:59Garasha became a famous opera actress in Europe.
40:04Why do you think she was so popular?
40:09Well, first of all,
40:11the distance between people in Europe
40:14is very big.
40:16I think they were impressed
40:19by the fact that there was a woman
40:22who believed in such a distance.
40:25I think that's why Ieizu-sukai
40:27used Garasha's death
40:29as an opportunity to promote Buddhism.
40:32I think it was an opportunity
40:34to increase and deepen the number of believers.
40:37Yes.
40:38After her death,
40:40Ieizu-sukai used Garasha
40:42to promote Buddhism.
40:45After this,
40:47Ito-Jun will tell us another story.
40:54Another story that cannot be told only by facts.
40:58Ito-san will tell us another story.
41:02If Garasha had not committed suicide,
41:06what kind of life would she have lived?
41:10Yes.
41:12Rather than committing suicide,
41:14I would like to rewind the clock a little
41:16and talk about the possibility
41:18of Tadaoki's divorce.
41:20After that, Garasha,
41:22who became free,
41:24probably went to Nagasaki
41:26and cooperated in Buddhism activities.
41:29Christians have a symbol called Garasha.
41:32In a strong way,
41:34they strengthened their bond with them.
41:36As a result,
41:38there was no war between Shimabara and Amakusa.
41:41Garasha was very smart,
41:43and she was a very powerful person.
41:46By negotiating with the Edo Shogunate,
41:49she got one of the islands of Amakusa.
41:52It was like a Christian country.
41:55It was not an independent country,
41:58but it was like a paradise
42:00where only Christians lived.
42:02And for a long time,
42:04even though she was small,
42:06she did not stop
42:08the fire of her faith.
42:10That's what I think.
42:12Once again,
42:14please tell us about the lessons
42:16we should learn from the defeat
42:18of Hosokawa Garasha.
42:20Yes.
42:22You can't do things impulsively.
42:24I think Garasha chose death
42:26because she didn't like anything.
42:28However,
42:30I think it was a big minus
42:32for Garasha.
42:34If Garasha had chosen
42:36the path of Christianity,
42:38she should have chosen
42:40the path of survival.
42:42However,
42:44when a person is mentally driven,
42:46it becomes a time of self-destruction.
42:48She had to prevent it.
42:50She had to calm down
42:52and be objective.
42:54She had to look for a solution.
42:56She had to stop thinking.
42:58But she said,
43:00for her,
43:02if she did everything,
43:04she would not be able
43:06to see the way
43:08other than Christianity.
43:10However,
43:12if she had a strong will
43:14and didn't do things impulsively,
43:16she could prevent
43:18Christianity.
43:20That's what I think.
43:22When a person is driven,
43:24it becomes a time of self-destruction.
43:26If she could calmly
43:28look for a solution,
43:30she could prevent the tragedy.
43:32This is the lesson
43:34learned from the defeat
43:36of Garasha Hosokawa.
43:40Until now,
43:42Garasha Hosokawa was calm
43:44and a heroine of tragedy.
43:46She had a strong image.
43:48Today, I listened to her story.
43:50She was very strong-willed
43:52and had a strong will.
43:54I was impressed by her.
43:56In fact,
43:58she was a woman
44:00who lived in agony
44:02and struggle
44:04and died.
44:06I agree.
44:08Her presence was
44:10bigger than I thought.
44:12As I said
44:14in the story of Another Story,
44:16if Garasha was alive,
44:18the way of Christianity
44:20in Japan would have changed.
44:22She is a person
44:24who can make people feel.
44:26Yes, she is.
44:28The situation of Christianity
44:30just before the fall
44:32of Shimabara Amakusa
44:34was very difficult.
44:36And there was no one
44:38in the center.
44:40If Garasha was alive,
44:42it would be a window
44:44to negotiate with the Edo Shogunate.
44:46I think she left
44:48the rights of Christianity
44:50in some way.
44:53The Lessons from the Defeat of Another Person.
44:55See you next time.
