As mentioned in my previous article, the new TV series “Shogun” (based on James Clavell’s novel of the same name) draws inspiration from the true story of English navigator William Adams, who became a samurai under Japan’s powerful feudal lords. The series excels in creating an immersive, historically rich world, and quickly established itself as one of 2024’s top shows.
