In this podcast I talk to Dan Snow about the remarkable life of William Adams: how he came to Japan, how he became a close adviser to Tokugawa Ieyasu, the first Shogun of the Tokugawa dynasty, and the impact Adams had on Japan’s maritime expansion and foreign relations. We also discuss my role as a historical consultant on the TV series Shōgun and my latest book, In the Service of the Shogun: The Real Story of William Adams.
