To anyone who both speaks Japanese and is watching the new Shōgun TV series (FX/Hulu): are they speaking modern Japanese on this show, or is it some older variant?
@siracusa Sanada would never produce, let alone star, in a period piece and not have the Japanese be apt for said period. That being said, period dramas from this era are extremely common in Japan and Sanada has made so many, he’s probably one of the actors most well versed in older-Japanese in the world.
