We are right in the middle of this year’s Emmy Awards, where not surprisingly, Shögun is being honored with the most Emmys in history, for a single season of a television series.
The series is heads above any other drama the past year, and I was lucky to review it, when it debuted.
One of subplots is the story of a beautiful courtesan’s teahouse, which our English protagonist recognizes is a kind of brothel, but aesthetically beyond anything he has ever seen before.
