Video Thumbnail The manga we’ll be looking at this time is “Oten no Mon.” This is a sequel to the first video project, which was well received by many viewers. We’ve once again invited Professor Kazuto Hongo, the book’s supervisor and professor at the Historiographical Institute of the University of Tokyo, to provide a thorough
explanation of the “heavenly period of regent politics” during the Heian period! We’ll unravel the background to how maternal relatives gained power by examining the marriage system of the time, and we’ll also explore the historical mystery of why the once-glorious regent government fell into such a short decline. Also, pay attention to the surprising character of Fujiwara no Michinaga that emerges from the true meaning of “The Song of the Mochizuki,” which isn’t taught in school. Furthermore, in the second part, scheduled for release at a later date, we will take a closer look at Ariwara no Narihira, a nobleman of the Heian period, and delve deeper into his “ultra-popular techniques.”
