The real story of ‘Shogun’

One of the most popular streaming series of recent years, FX's ‘Shogun’ is based on James Clavell's novel of the same name that he wrote in 1975. This book had already inspired the famous 1980 mini-series, which also received positive reviews. However, not everyone knows that both the book and both mini-series are based on a true story and are a pretty good chronicle of the formation of the real Tokugawa Shogunate. Today, we'll break down what really happened in Japan after the events shown in Shogun.
