In 1600, the setting for FX's adaptation of James Clavell's historical epic Shōgun, Japan was all but closed off to most Western nations. The arrival of scruffy Englishman John Blackthorne (Cosmo Jarvis), in all his unwashed glory, qualifies as an event of the highest order; Blackthorne is a "barbarian" who upsets the already delicate balance of intrigue in Osaka, not to mention his ship full of guns and cannons. But in the first two episodes, Shōgun takes this scenario further, reminding us with a single scene that this is a place we may know, but not a place any of us really know. In just seven minutes, Shōgun expands the entire world.
