The year is 1600, and shipwrecked John Blackthorne (played by Richard Chamberlain), is quickly captured by local samurai warriors and brought before Lord Toranaga (Toshiro Mifune), a powerful daimyo (feudal lord). He sees Blackthorne as both a potential threat and an opportunity. As Blackthorne struggles to adapt to the unfamiliar customs and language of Japan, he becomes entangled in the complex web of political manipulations and rivalries between the various daimyos vying for power.

Lord Toranaga recognizes the value of Blackthorne’s knowledge of navigation and Western culture and decides to keep him alive. He sees an intelligent man, with leadership skills and makes him a samurai, giving him the name “Anjin.” He also gives him a mere 6 months to learn the language. These challenges are set upon the backdrop of brutal battles and betrayal in the picturesque landscape of Japan.
“Shogun” was produced by NBC and aired in September 1980. The mini-series was an international co-production, featuring a cast of American, European, and Japanese actors, as well as a crew from both the United States and Japan. To ensure authenticity, the production team built massive sets, including an entire village, and incorporated traditional Japanese huts.
