It’s in this meeting’s context that Tadayoshi’s seppuku becomes an issue.
The only person who is against it is Tadayoshi’s wife, Usami Fuji (Moeka Hoshi).

Tadayoshi’s decision to perform seppuku is somewhat different, however.
It’s a serious act, one that’s respected by friends and enemies alike.
The wayShogunexplores this is reminiscent of the time period when the series happens, the Sengoku period.
This is what happens to Tadayoshi.
During the Edo Period, seppuku became closer to what is more commonly depicted.
Shogunis streaming on Hulu in the U.S. New episodes are released weekly on Tuesdays.
