In our latest episode, we dive into “Ladies of the Willow World,” the sixth episode from F/X’s “Shogun.” This episode explores the histories and connections between Lady Mariko and Lady Ochiba, offering a narrative departure from James Clavell’s original book. The focus on these characters provides new depth to the series.

Gabby was particularly struck by the episode’s emphasis on the women’s stories and brings her analysis to our discussion. She argues that the presentation of Mariko and Ochiba’s stories challenges traditional narratives and highlights the roles women played in feudal Japan.

Join us as Gabby discusses the significance of this episode, supported by insights from Paul and Inez. This episode stands out for its storytelling and emotional depth, providing a closer look at characters often left in the background.
