Kamakura-Dono no 13 Nin: Drama Notes
For the drama notes for "Kamakura-Dono no 13 Nin", I will present them in the form of a glossary.
Watching a taiga drama can be daunting and overwhelming, with the barrage of names, characters, places, unfamiliar terms coming at you, especially if you are not familiar with this part of Japanese history. And I know you might give up along the way too, if you feel frustrated. For example, many of the characters have several different names or aliases, and they are all mentioned or used to address that character in this drama, so understandably, it might cause confusion (So far, I've counted 4 characters named "Jiro"). So I came up with this glossary to help you keep up with what you're watching.
Notes:
As much as possible, I try not to include major spoilers here. However, the links for each historical character might contain spoilers so please click and read the articles to your discretion.
This glossary will continually be updated as the drama progresses.
How to use this Drama Notes Glossary:
While you're watching the taiga drama, Kamakura-Dono no 13 Nin, and you read a name of a person or place, or a person's position or title, or any Japanese word from my subtitles, and you're curious, or don't remember who it was or what it means, press Control+F, (or use the "Find in Page" tool of your phone's browser), type the word, and click enter. That way, you will be directed straight to that word/name, without having to read or scan all the other items in the glossary.
