Iemitsu's rivalry with his brother Tokugawa Tadanaga over the Shogunate form a part of the television series The Yagyu Conspiracy and is the basis for the film Shogun's Samurai (at the end of the film, Shogun Iemitsu is killed and decapitated by Yagyu Jubei in an act of revenge for his father Yagyū Munenori's betrayal).

Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or culture:

    And all the popular statesmen say
    That purity built up the State
    And after kept it from decay;
    Admonish us to cling to that
    And let all base ambition be,
    For intellect would make us proud....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    I am writing to resist the view that Europe and civilization are going to Hell. If I am being “crucified for an idea”Mthat is, the coherent idea around which my muddles accumulated—it is probably the idea that European culture ought to survive, that the best qualities of it ought to survive along with whatever cultures, in whatever universality. Against the propaganda of terror and the propaganda of luxury, have you a nice simple answer?
    Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
