Arson was punishable by burning at the stake. It is said that the prison guards urged Oshichi to claim her age as 15 in order to be exempt from execution, but she insisted on stating her true age of 16.

Unfortunately, the youngest boy to be Shogun in history was also the youngest to die as Shogun 🥺.
He is remembered to have made appearances before regional feudal lords on his most trusted vassal’s lap 🥺🥺🥺.

In all seriousness, Jakuchū experienced the loss of many loved ones during his extensive lifetime: his mother, who had raised him single-handedly, and even his two younger brothers.
Humorously depicting death despite his loneliness may have been his way of coping with it 🥹.

In the woodblock print, the Mikan samurai is fighting octopi, probably because Mikan came to Edo via sea route 😂.

What’s funny is that, after the battle, Yukihira sold one of his only two kimonos to buy a souvenir for his boss 😂. Clearly, somebody didn’t subscribe to the idea of playing it safe 😂😂😂

In an era with fewer choices and less freedom than we enjoy today, people of the Edo Period (1603 - 1868) needed a means to address their grudges in secret 😫.

While Japanese men today lose their heads over so-called “idol” girl bands, pre-modern Japanese men lost theirs over local cafe waitresses.
Okita from Nanba-ya Cafe and Ohisa from Takashima-ya Cafe were the Beyonce and Rihanna of the cafe world in 18th-century Edo; their fans were lowkey at war.

So here’s a woodblock print of the Shogun looking out his castle window, envious of his subjects who ate the freshly cooked food he never ate 🥺.

The first wild marketing success of Japanese cosmetics dates back to 1811. A novelist in Edo (the old name of Tokyo) developed a facial toner himself, and made his product go viral 😆
