Following the steamy events of Shogun Episode 4, audiences wonder if Mariko and the Anjin (John Blackthorne) sleep together.
The hit FX miniseries has transported audiences back to 16th-century Japan. It mostly centers on an English man named John Blackthorne (played by Cosmo Jarvis) as he is brought into Japanese high society as an asset for a lord looking to perhaps gain more power.
As part of his service to Lord Yoshii Toranaga, Blackthorne—known to the Japanese as the Anjin (aka pilot of ships)—has become close to Anna Sawai's Lady Mariko, a Japanese interpreter who converted to Catholicism thanks to the arrival of Spanish missionaries in her home country.

A general worth their salt proves their tactical acumen from the way they choose to handle their relations, both their oppositions and allies. As events in FX’s historical drama series Shogun unfold, Lord Yoshi Toranaga emerges as a methodical strategist solely based on how well he estimates his adversaries and accordingly prepared himself, but the same cannot be said for the people closely associated with him, as shown in the fourth episode titled The Eightfold Fence.
In the previous episode, Toranaga put Yabushige in charge of escorting the majority of his clan, along with Blackthorne, back to Ajiro and attempted a daring escape from Osaka Castle by switching places with his wife at the last moment. A number of times, Blackthorne proved his loyalty to Toranaga by keeping his cover from getting blown. Eventually, Toranaga’s ruse gets revealed, and Ishido makes a last-ditch attempt by blocking the bay...

This article contains spoilers for Shogun episode 4.
As depicted in FX’s Shōgun, Japan’s Sengoku period in the 15th and 16th centuries was a pretty rough time. Perhaps no Shōgun character represents that better than poor Usami Fuji (Moeka Hoshi).
As the noble-born granddaughter of Toda Hiromatsu (Tokuma Nishioka), the closest ally of the powerful Lord Yoshii Toranaga (Hiroyuki Sanada), Fuji’s life was marked by comfort and dignity. Unfortunately that all comes crashing down in the series’ first episode when Lord Toranaga becomes embroiled in a power struggle with Osaka’s Council of Regents. After Fuji’s husband Tadayoshi speaks out of turn at a Council of Regents meeting in defense of his lord, he immediately realizes that he jeopardized Toranaga’s safety in doing so and asks for permission to commit seppuku – a ritualistic suicide to reclaim his family’s honor. Lord Toranaga grants Tadayoshi the right...

It's a testament to Rachel Kondo and Justin Marks' talent for establishing tone that while Shogun takes place in a world about which the average viewer knows very little, there's seldom any doubt in the audiences' mind with regard to what's at stake and how we should feel about it.
Take the opening scenes from Shogun Season 1 Episode 4, for example.
A messenger hurries through a snowy village carrying an urgent missive for Lord Omi (whom we haven't seen since he butted heads with Blackthorne in the show's pilot episode).
Most viewers will be unable to read the lettering on the message or the sign in the town square, but the scene that follows is a familiar one:
The peasants scurry to prepare for the arrival of a couple of bigwigs, and the local lord beams with anticipation for the opportunity to impress his superiors.

It’s not easy being hatamoto. That’s what Shōgun lead Cosmo Jarvis says he learned throughout the FX/Hulu drama’s shoot, including while filming the closing sequence of the latest episode.
At the end of Episode 3, after they had each contributed to a successful “escape” from Osaka, Lord Toranaga (played by Hiroyuki Sanada) told Blackthorne (Jarvis) aka Anjin that, as his vassal, the English pilot can no longer be known to his people as “barbarian.” Toranaga in turn proclaimed Blackthorne hatamoto, which Mariko (Anna Sawai) explained is “a very great honor.”

Shogun stars Anna Sawai and Cosmo Jarvis discussed their favorite moments working on the new FX drama, while also talking about their character’s on-screen romance.
The show, set in Feudal Japan, follows Lord Toranaga as the local political climate is thrown into chaos thanks to the arrival of Jarvis’ Englishman, John Blackthorne.
Not long after Blackthorne arrives in Japan, he’s introduced to Sawai’s Mariko, a local Portuguese translator who is a close ally of Toranaga’s.

There wasn’t much fault to be found with the first two episodes of Shogun.
Visually stunning and intricately plotted with performances that managed to meet the story’s sky-high dramatic stakes while maintaining a measure of grounded relatability, this was the kind of TV we’ve been waiting for since the sun started to set on the medium’s second golden age circa 2019.
But there’s no denying that the show might’ve been a little too complex, too byzantine in its depiction of the political machinery of feudal Japan, for the taste of some viewers.
There's no denying that this is a series that demands the viewer's full attention -- a throwback to the height of the prestige TV era, when audiences demonstrated a willingness to put in work for their favorite series.
And thus far, the rewards have been well worth the effort.

With films like “Destruction Babies” and “Miyamoto”, Tetsuya Mariko has really left an impact in the Japanese movie industry during the latest years, as one of the few remaining directors of ‘tense cinema', as established by directors such as Takashi Miike, Sion Sono, Toshiaki Toyoda and Shinya Tsukamoto. Now, with “Before Anyone Else”, he attempts to take his talents outside Japan, to the US specifically, hopefully in a new endeavor and not because he cannot find space in his home country anymore.
Before Anyone Else is screening at Osaka Asian Film Festival
In black-and-white and low definition, the movie begins with a young woman driving a car, getting out of it, and then the camera turning to the backseat, showing a baby sitting there. The next cut shows a completely different scene, in color this time, where a group of four Americans and Asian Americans break into a pawn shop.

After spending years in development, FX’s “Shōgun” made its long-awaited debut this week to glowing reviews. Based on James Clavell’s 1975 novel of the same name, the exquisite limited series — the first two episodes of which are now streaming on Hulu –turns Vancouver into feudal Japan as it recounts the life-changing experiences of Pilot Major John Blackthorne (Cosmo Jarvis), an English sailor who becomes shipwrecked and finds himself at the center of a violent power struggle between Lord Toranaga and the four other regents with whom he is meant to rule until their recently deceased leader’s heir comes of age. Exceptionally cunning, Toranaga believes he can use Blackthorne, whom the Japanese call Anjin, as leverage, so he takes him into custody, using Anna Sawai’s loyal Mariko as an interpreter. The resulting drama is a beautifully produced, captivating epic that is unlike anything else you’ll see on TV this year,...

The length of a movie or TV show’s credits is usually a good indicator of the scale of a production. But going through the credits of FX’s “Shogun,” the scale of the challenge in replicating the culture of feudal Japan during the Sengoku period really hits home; among those listed are a team of kimono technicians and design specialists, historical consultants, period language consultants and interpreters, three different movement advisors for samurai behavior, general background movements, and even period-appropriate sitting and walking attitudes.
The guiding principle for the show’s approach to its historical setting was whether Japanese fans of Nhk dramas and Kyoto-style Jidaigeki would raise their eyebrows or accept the look and feel of the series. “I think that’s something we often gloss over when it comes to conversations about representation: bringing those who have lived in this world for a very long time to the table,...

This post contains spoilers for the "Shōgun" two-part premiere, as well as for the first three hundred pages of the novel "Shōgun" by James Clavell.
There's no such thing as a 100% faithful adaptation, nor should there be. Different mediums have different strengths and limitations, so anyone adapting a book into a TV show should be prepared from the start to lean into those differences. Trying to be too faithful often leads to a show just recreating the same old thing but worse, whereas directors and writers would be better off having the courage to put their own spin on the material.
How does "Shōgun" handle the challenges of adaptation so far? Its two-part premiere has sped through 300 pages of book material, so most of its changes can be chalked up to necessary streamlining. The show's gotten plenty of "Game of Thrones" comparisons by critics already, and with its competent episodic...

While working on “Shōgun,” costume designer Carlos Rosario created approximately 2,300 costumes for the FX limited series spanning 10 episodes.
“It was massive. It was a huge show and a huge crew. There were consultants on set that were checking every day to make sure that the dressing of each costume was accurate for each scene,” Rosario said.
“Shōgun” follows Yoshii Toranaga (Hiroyuki Sanada) on his quest to become the shōgun, the military leader of the nation, joined by his translator Lady Mariko (Anna Sawai) and English ally John Blackthorne (Cosmo Jarvis). Because the series is set in 1600s Japan, Rosario had limited primary sources to study. After visiting every website and museum that had Japanese pieces from that period, he said what helped him the most was studying paintings from the 1600s and chatting with historians.
Since the series is rooted in history, Rosario was able to draw inspiration from the characters’ real-life counterparts.

Nearly midway through FX’s 10-episode epic, “Shōgun,” the marooned “anjin” (aka pilot) John Blackthorne (Cosmo Jarvis) has grown irritated, once again, with the customs of his Japanese hosts. Speaking to his assigned interpreter, Mariko (Anna Sawai), the anjin (as he’s most often referred) can’t understand why his tendered consort won’t express herself; why a grieving mother and widow is so eager to serve his needs, when he claims to need nothing at all. She suffers, but “you’d never know it to look at her,” he says. “Do you know the eightfold fence?” Mariko asks him in reply. “From the time we are small, it is something we are taught to build within ourselves: an impenetrable wall behind which we can retreat whenever we need. […] Do not be fooled by our politeness, our bows, our maze of rituals. Beneath it all, we could be a great distance away.

More than four decades after it first captivated American viewers, a global audience is now poised to experience the sweeping glory of Shōgun. Based on James Clavell’s best-selling 1975 novel about feudal Japan, the 1980 NBC miniseries starring Richard Chamberlain was a phenomenon: The lavish yet sanitized and heavily Americanized adaptation averaged a 26.3 average rating over six nights and became the second highest in television history (after ABC‘s Roots). Katie Yu/FX Now, with FX‘s gorgeous, immersive, and brutal 10-part take, the story of John Blackthorne (Cosmo Jarvis) — the shipwrecked English sailor who becomes an indispensable aid to Lord Toranaga ( Hiroyuki Sanada), falls for his translator Mariko (Monarch: Legacy of Monsters‘ Anna Sawai), and rises to the rank of samurai — is being told the way it was meant to be. “You come into the story knowing what three characters you’re telling the story about,” says executive producer Justin Marks of the new approach.

Even by Peak TV standards, where TV shows routinely look every bit as good as big-budget blockbusters, FX’s Shōgun is flat-out breathtaking. Admirably ambitious and epic in scope, the limited series set in feudal Japan (premiering next Tuesday at 10/9c; I’ve seen the first four episodes) boasts exquisite period detail and grandly staged action sequences that are so stunning, it’s almost worth watching just to lay eyes on them. But the story it tells is less impressive, bogged down by too many plotlines and an unconvincing central romance. Shōgun is still a worthwhile watch, all things considered,...

Plot: Set in Japan in the year 1600 at the dawn of a century-defining civil war, Lord Yoshii Toranaga is fighting for his life as his enemies on the Council of Regents unite against him. When a mysterious European ship is found marooned in a nearby fishing village, its English pilot, John Blackthorne, comes bearing secrets that could help Toranaga tip the scales of power and devastate the formidable influence of Blackthorne’s own enemies — the Jesuit priests and Portuguese merchants. Toranaga’s and Blackthorne’s fates become inextricably tied to their translator, Toda Mariko, a mysterious Christian noblewoman and the last of a disgraced line. While serving her lord amidst this fraught political landscape, Mariko must reconcile her newfound companionship with Blackthorne, her commitment to the faith that saved her and her duty to her late father.
