A proposito di questo titolo

In 1657, the Great Fire of Meireki swept through Edo, destroying the shogun's castle and much of the city. This episode explores how the Tokugawa regime responded to the disaster through urban planning, fire codes, and the creation of firefighting brigades. Lucas and Luna discuss the fire's long-term impact on Edo's layout, the rise of the merchant class, and the cultural memory of the catastrophe, drawing on contemporary accounts like the 'Meireki Chronicle' and the role of daimyo in reconstruction. They also touch on the fire's connection to the sankin kotai system and the shifting power dynamics between the shogunate and the domains.
