The First Shogun

The TV series "Shogun" brings Japanese history to life, but who was the first Shogun? 
In this series of podcasts, Sean Bermingham explores the rise to power of Yoritomo Minamoto, the first military leader of Japan.  We'll follow Yoritomo's life and adventures as a young man as he leads his Genji clan to victory against the odds in the greatest samurai civil war in Japan's history, and eventually claims the title as Japan's First Shogun.

Written and presented by Sean Bermingham. Music by EdRecords/Pond5: www.pond5.com
