EP152 An Introduction to Daimyo Alternate Attendance – Sankin Kotai P2

Samurai Archives Japanese History Podcast

This episode we continue our discussion of the Edo-period concept of "Sankin Kotai" - Daimyo alternate attendance.

It's a key component to understanding the Edo period, so we break it down for you.
