The 13 Lords of the Shogun

Kusa Moeru (草くさ燃もえる) is a 1979 Japanese television series. It is the 17th NHK taiga drama.[1][2]

It is also the first Taiga drama to standardize the use of modern language in dialogue starting with this one onward. On the other hand, characters did not use first names to address others as it was considered disrespectful historically, instead used people's common names and court ranks as was custom for the time.

Story

[edit]

Kusa Moeru deals with the rise and fall of the Kamakura shogunate at the start of the Kamakura period. Based on Michiko Nagai's novels "Hojo Masako", "Enkan" etc.[3][4]

The story chronicles the lives of Minamoto no Yoritomo and Hōjō Masako.[5][1] As the drama producers found it difficult to create a solo female protagonist, they made the drama with dual protagonists in mind. Minamoto no Yoritomo's story ends halfway with his death, then Masako takes over the leading role for the last half. However, even with this structure, the first half emphasizes on Masako's perspective of events, making her essentially the main character of the entire story.
