Those were “visions” of how he thought his life would be if he returned to England. He does not. His whole life up to that point had been about his own ambitions and desires, but with Mariko’s sacrifice he is changed, which you see when he offers up his own life to end the suffering of the villagers. With this gesture, we see that he has left his old self behind and has come to finally have some understanding of the Japanese and their customs. We see him surrender his old life and to honor his love for Mariko and her sacrifice, he chooses to serve Toranaga. At least, that’s what I got out of it.
The sequence being a vision went over my head. I thought it was a flash forward. Thanks for clarifying.
