For some of us, this is probably @FXNetworks Shōgun most dreadful scene, and we know why. But in the end, it was a Japanese culture; code of honor, back in the time. So no matter how dreadful the scene is for some of us, let's respect the show's efforts to portray the Japanese culture in the Shogunate era as authentic as possible.
As we all know, Shōgun is an American historical drama, which presents historical events and characters with varying degrees of fictional elements such as creative dialogue or fictional scenes which aim to compress separate events or illustrate a broader factual narrative. It is based on the 1975 novel of the same name by James Clavell, which was previously adapted into a 1980 miniseries. Clavell's Shōgun is indeed a historical fiction.
Hiroyuki Sanada, that serve as a producer and lead actor, stressed on keeping the show authentic to Japanese history. He said: "If something is incorrect, people cannot focus on the drama. They don't want to see that kind of show. We needed to be authentic."
On a matter of the seppuku committed in the scene was also intended to end the samurai’s bloodline (by killing the samurai's infant son), we personally hope it's fictional. Was this ever historically done? Only historians can answer. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Watch Shōgun every Tuesday on Hulu.
