I guess I should get round to resubscribing to Disney+...
Never watched the earlier series, but I read the book back when I was at uni. Do have a soft spot for Clavell's novels, in spite/because of the rampant Orientalism. (I also remember reading Eric Van Lustbader's Ninja novels, which I suspect would not hold up well today.)
Need to start watching this! I'm interested in how you're presenting Blackthorne as both reacting to and accepting of what's around him.

I need to get caught up on Shogun. I remember the original series REASONABLY well, which is almost equal to saying that I remember zed about it.
I always wanted to see Japan. In the 70's, I had bunches of Japanese penfriends back then, even learned some phrases.
