Summary Thanks to a 900-page “bible” the editing team used as a guideline for the popular series Shogun, I’m anticipating season 2 with high hopes. The show had its roots in a miniseries by the same name in 1980, adapted from James Clavell’s best-selling novel. It won several Golden Globes and prime-time Emmys but did not follow the same historical accuracy that 2024’s Shogun had aspired to with meticulous care and detail.
During feudal Japan’s Edo period, Shogun introduced characters like the diplomatic Toda Mariko and the cunning Kashigi Yabushige. The show strayed pretty far from the extensive nature of the novel for the show’s cohesion and engagement. For instance, Mariko has been considerably watered down for television consumption, with her religious faith minimized for contemporary audiences.
Shogun's Bible Of Japanese History Sounds Reassuring For The Show's Future Close While Clavell's book helped steer the character development of characters like John Blackthorne and Lord Yoshii Toranaga, it’s the 900-page bible that sustained the show’s compelling nature. The bible was an elaborate binder of all the elements of Japan in 1600, including architecture, makeup, and the way different army factions would walk.
The Mention Of Shogun's Dead Characters Gives Me Hope For Their Return Referencing characters such as Yabu and Mariko, Shogun editor Maria Gonzalez said she would "love it if some of those characters came back in some form or another.” The editors won’t be making the final decisions on the character’s placements in season 2, but their sentiments echo the opinions of Shogun aficionados. Yabu and Mariko added to pivotal turning points in the show, compounding the tragedy of their deaths.
