“These resources were "very fortunate" for Britain, another Lord declared, since "they have very largely supported the standard of living of the people of this country and the sterling area ever since the war ended"”

Britain is simply not hated enough.

Also! I forgot to fit in earlier but 1 of the curious & fateful quirks of Japan's involvement with the (Records of) Three Kingdoms is that it's this period and work where the CN historical sources from that time record the significant written descriptions referring to the early Japanese female ruler

Japan's own "Warring States" Sengoku period. Parallels and comparisons which are particularly well-known and echoed in Koei's dual historic game franchises: Nobunaga's Ambition and Samurai Warriors (Sengoku Musuou) parallel to the Romance of Three Kingdoms (Rotk / Sangokushi) and Dynasty Warriors.

Those are perhaps the enormous '3 arrows' that made 3 Kingdoms such a continued presence attached to Japan's pop culture beyond the OG novel and historical connections to China &/or other folkloric traditions. (For example the relating & comparing of Three Kingdoms anecdotes & events to Japan's own

Then Koei's development of their RotK franchise (and art & character database assets!) intertwining with their more famous Dynasty Warriors ('Shin Sangokumusou' in JP) franchise (1997-) that *literally* became its own genre, 'Musou'.
November 18, 2025 at 3:49 PM
And lastly, the interactive phenomena of the Koei Romance of the Three Kingdoms strategy game franchise (also titled Sangokushi!?) from 1985 onwards that draws on both historical Record and the Romance - extensively depicting probably all iirc ~1000+ characters.
November 18, 2025 at 3:49 PM
the major point for modern reference is the wombo combo of Yoshikawa Eiji's popular retelling of the RotK novel, 'Sangokushi' (1939-43) which is then adapted into a popular manga, also titled Sangokushi (1971-87), by a fellow prolific goliath in his respective medium, Yokoyama Mitsuteru.

Rough explanation on the intersections here regarding Japan:

1. 3 Kingdoms (history & Romance tradition) has/had a significant popularity historically. I forget many details but afaik & iirc

Correspondingly.

The 3Kingdoms fan mere moments after Jin unification: this is getting out of hand, now there are two of them!?

"This was way into the 1800s, three centuries after Europeans first took the knowledge that vanilla could be used. It took them 300 years to solve how to obtain fruits from the plant."

Shots where we see the audience watching the big screen are so good. It's obviously cliche, but: it's us! the perceivers. The reactions. The shared spectacle. Does it show our sameness? our difference? The stranglehold the movie holds over us? or perhaps it draws our attention to the protagonists
