Presentation

:00:18

There are a total of thirty-six
gates into Edo Castle.

:00:22

Eighteen of these cross
the Outer Moat.

:00:25

The other eighteen cross
the Inner Moat.

:00:27

In essence, they are the bottlenecks
that control access to the Castle.

:00:31

The Daimyo enter the Castle
through one of the gates...

:00:33

...usually the one closest
to their Edo mansions.

:00:35

Thus, each Daimyo has chosen
one entrance as his favorite.

:00:38

The Lord of the Hikone Domain, and
Great Elder of the Shogunate...

:00:40

...li "Kamonnokami"
Naosuke...

:00:43

...always enters through
the Sakurada Gate.

:00:58

A hemp symbol
in a circle...?

:01:00

That's Sir Satake lzuminokami
from Nihonmatsu in Ooshuu.

:01:05

Sir Satake of Nihonmatsu in
Ooshuu? I see. I see...

:01:11

Well, it's almost 8:30... The entourages
using the Sakurada Gate should...

:01:16

Yes, sir. That's about
it for now.

:01:20

Here you go, sir.

:01:22

Here you go, sir.
Thank you.

:01:23

Thank you.

:01:24

It's cold this morning.
Thank you.

:01:26

Well, Edo Castle blanketed
in snow is a sight to see.

:01:29

Besides, for unemployed
ronin like us...

:01:31

...the opportunity to witness the Daimyo
processions is a true delight.

:01:36

I hope that your wish to become
an officer will come true soon.
