What will you do if the bird doesn’t want to sing?
Nobunaga answered: “Kill it.”
Hideyoshi Answered: let the bird wants to sing
Ieasyu answered: “Wait.”
The Philosophies about three character of Japanese great commander is everlasting story in Japan and written in a poetry. There are even no students that don't know about it. So Eiji Yoshikawa, the author of this great epos notes.
The epos from every country, the strength will be heard continuously time to the time. It is as pride national history a nation, even though give support or struggle. The spirit can be taken by the young generation and next generation.
Every country has heroic spirit symbol itself. So has our country, Indonesia. We still remember Gadjah Mada, who succeeded to unity the entire Indonesian archipelago till Champa. The epos doesn’t only become legend in the country which the hero was born and then fight. Moreover the story is famous too in other countries because the fighting has universal spirit: to attempt vision unity and peace.
But to hear one epos to others-strength, courage, fight, sacrifices- follow the great expectation- it always reference to the war and violence. Then why several philosopher such as Fucoult and Nietzsche, views with different framework the history.
Whatever Dr. Sun Tzu thought the beautiful way in the name of war with “The art of war”; contrary war is war, is blood, death, and tears and lost. Isn’t there unity and peace, the big program a nation, or world, without war? War is fate. It is the desire of man to survive although the death sees in every breath. Rightly, the border of life and death is as thin as love and hate.
Taiko, the name for great commander Toyotomi Hideyoshi, lived in the end of 16 centuries. This Novel describes the spirit a brave man who was born from poor people with an expressing the touching childhood. Like common children he had dream, to be knight or Japanese word is samurai. His dream was gained by his mother that very long time as wife of low samurai that then was wound caused war, was suffer. This is a little part of simply humanity that by the time was run over by wave of spirit to get glorious of nation.
After many years in his wandering, Hiyoshi, his nickname, analyzed the situation of other province, sources, human character, the civilization, and the destruction as result of civil war after the ruins of Shogun Ashigaka. Wandering was to experience suffering, humiliation but one of his strength was to reduce the pain of his mother, and his step-father’s repression and the society’s denial caused his monkey-face. Beginning from that willingness to help his mother and sister, he became finally the great commander who was considered by his ally and enemy.
The love to his mother and sister was verbal within a responsibility as son and man to women whom always reminded his existence on the world. Giving happiness through material had put away them from suffering, nevertheless the greatest happiness for his mother was seeing him to dedicate to their leader as prima honor.
The faithful in Japanese tradition is an honor. The big mistake even accidentally, it will be shame for family. Trying to be responsible with all the way is risk including doing seppuku or self stomach stabbing to express solidarity.
The happiness from this dedication had become faith which flowed in their blood. These dogmas were getting influence from confusion which came to Japan since 4 centuries and Buddha from Indian. The emphasizing to the word “conscious” and “commitment” in confusion, grounded hard discipline to samurai and people inside believing that king is vice-god to be worshipped. In other hand the leader had many duties and handled many things to make prosperity his people.
Oda Nobunaga, the leader of small and poor province, Owari, in south Japan, where Hideyoshi and his family lived, didn’t able to pay much his samurai. Also Tokugawa Ieasyu, the leader of small province, Mikawa, in south Japan, since a child lived in suffers as a hostage in other province. In contrast this weakness became treatment to the glory future. They didn’t think just for their selves and family but for their country. The faithful of Nobunaga to the king or Tenno evidently to reconstruct the palace of king which didn’t care since the ruined military government of shogun while he himself lived without special place in the city, and stayed in the temple. He was called a vagrant from kiyosu by the other that was jealous with him. In fact Nobunaga was a grounder Japanese unity that later was continued by Hideyoshi and Ieasyu.
The result of conscious and commitment put hugest necessity more important than personal precisely to let them into success.
Some figures were collapse when he was ambitious to himself like Shibata Katsui, the senior general, adherent Oda family, or Imagawa Yoshimoto, the leader province Suruga, and Yoshiaki, brother of shogun Yoshiteru that was killed, then the adherent of shogun 14, which reclaimed glamour facilities on pain people.
The soul of a glory man respect very much good talent which was hidden or marginalized, whosever.
Nobunaga respected Hideyoshi, accepted him as employee after wandering life as sewing seller. Nobunaga educated him by his hand from a servant, slipper carrier, until a famous general. Nobunaga respect Akechi Mitsuhide’s intelligent whom wherever he worked, caused his intelligent always finally exiled.
Even Hideyoshi had given from beginning the trust to other people to do something as respectfully to ally, his adherent, and his rival too here for together need .
Therefore it is the glory man who harden his heart to see his sacrificed people including women and children when attack enemy for getting peace. To harden his heart he offered his family as hostage with hard consequently to be killed.
Children and women are lower hierarchy on the faith about conscious and commitment.
It will not be problem when all position is very sure and really glad with this. However the best human, with the hugest dreaming, and the greatest talent, human is full fault creature. Despite confusion and Buddhist which emphasize harmony in human self, to other people and nature have absorbed but daily the common sense of man is easy to fall to desire of war.
The development of defenders which needed high cost, burning housing and fields, parties winning or to relax with women, were parts which wasn’t detail described by Yoshikawa. Appearing in the story the figures had concubines without permit the true wife or concubine’s heart herself. It was as usually habit, whereas on duty they left their lonely, worry wife. But when the wife was complaint about it, then her feelings was eliminated and rejected.
Faithfully claim which was inadequate appeared in Nene’s complaint to Nobunaga. She feel that her duty was hard in connection with household and defender management when her husband as leader went on duty but it was unequal with her husband’s attitude after came back.
Here it is citation Hidoyoshi’s wishes to Nene in her duty as wife of samurai:
“I hope you are happy to receive your husband’s dedication, his duty and all the things that he must do. It may be easy, but in fact is very hard. That is wife who doesn’t know about her husband’s duty. That husband will get lost important motivation. The men who work in the name of country and province ever be weak and lose heart in his home. If his wife feels happy and interested in husband’s duty, in the morning the husband will able to go to the war with all of the heart that he has. This is the best way, the wife helps her husband.”
While Nobunaga’s response answered to Nene’s complaint about inadequate duty of his husband in this citation:
“That is Hideyoshi. He isn’t perfect. But tea cup that perfect doesn’t have beauty. People has always fault. But if common men has bad attitude, he will be problem. In fact there are less people that have capability such as Hideyoshi. I often ask how is woman that decides to marry him. Now after I see you, I know that Hideyoshi must love you. Don’t be jealous. You and he stay happy.”
These responses reminded that dedication and commitment actually were asked to Hideyoshi by Nobunaga. But still to get concubines was mind common and may be done by husband. The others mistakes were to do marriage for women that the leader considered to unity. It was political marriage but the women didn’t ask about it or didn’t have choice. Nobunaga answered truly that he did to commend his sister, princes Oichi to marry with prince from province Omi without her concord. After the marriage the prince from Omi didn’t want to cooperate with Nobunaga and make agreement with his old ally, province Eichizen. Nobunaga was angry and sure to attack him although still gave him chance in the name of family. Nobunaga would give his brother in low region if make a peace. But politic couldn’t be lost by love. And prince Oichi felt hard dilemma. As wife she must follow his husband. But she also mother for 4 children. She didn’t want to see her children dying in her brother’s power. Finally prince Oichi and her children were safe but she was sad because his husband was died by Nobunaga. And this happened again to her, Nobutaka, her nephew commended her to do political marriage with general Shibata Katsui after Nobunaga died. In civil society katsui lost and prince Oichi released her children to her husband enemy to care, and she chose to die with her husband although their daily relation as husband and wife were really cool. The sacrificing of war always falls down in the direction of low hierarchy: women and children. The mistake caused unbalance. But if the conscious of love to higher things is bigger than self and family, man will get really happiness.
The war is verb that can’t be refused by man. It is not only for man. The histories of evolution of creation on the earth even talk about competition that isn’t hesitate to kill another to survive.
If it is right that the war is instinctive, will that be true that man who was born with perfectly common sense, then getting honor to lead the world and nature, is easy to obedience to killing desire? Actually man has power. If the next man thinks that the power is to dominate nature with science and technology, the rule of nature will again dominate man. It is provable with the problem of environmental or ecological crisis. The science and technology which rise from positivism, Descartes spirit, to create inhumanity man because of the mind that reduce the great source of man such as intuition. Intuition exists with rationality in the common sense. Positivism glorifies rationality only or here using Horkheimer’s word as instrumentally mind.
Descartes dualism evidently becomes the base collapse humanity of man who has developed civilization many centuries. Also that is myth to dominate nature and being violent power which causes the rule nature does again to justify man. Beginning from Descartes spirit then was catch by Darwin in his evolution theory, later Adam Smith took to his homo-economic theory that grounded individualism, expansionism on other human right.
This becomes very long crisis that make man tired. The war has widen meaning on ideology, social, economic, politic and culture. The war widens spread to all aspect in human life.
The war was criticized by many organizations including eco-feminism which thinks that the war has oppressed earth and women caused rationality as patriarchy construction. Rationality isn’t belonging to men. And Intuition isn’t close to women. Rationality is not west. Intuition doesn’t stay in east like Goethe said in his poetry anthology West-Oestlicher Divan. Some religion teaches on earth honestly to suggest balance when we see from deepest side of religion. The essence of religion gives universal spirit and it doesn’t society construction of certain people.
When we don’t glorify rationality, we will not feel dilemma about the choice like rational, myth, or seek other as primitive, more feudal, more fortress and the most fastness. There is no first world or third world.
Certainly the unity of rational and intuition in common sense will find wisdom and no subordination to other. The balance rational and intuition think our selves and other as subject. “I eat bread” or “I love you” doesn’t mean that subject higher than the word after verb. The sacrificing “bread” and “you” has meaning as love or giving on “I” that does action. It doesn’t mean oppression on “bread” and “you” as energy recovery to work again.
The balance doesn’t mean to refer to material. If there is material shown, it will be as effect from inner happiness and wealthy.
Later the meaning of war is to control our selves continuing the balance. To Maxsimalize the common sense as well to think about human and nature wealthy. If we must against unbalance things, we will do with wisdom. If the condition must eliminate human or other creator right, we against in the name of love to life and prosperity as motive. That does not mean that the peace is just pseudo-peace or in the name of certain group.
