  • The Edicts of Toyotomi Hideyoshi: Excerpts from Limitation on the Propagation of Christianity, 1587 Excerpts from Expulsion of Missionaries, 1587
    Primary Source Document with Questions (DBQs) THE EDICTS OF TOYOTOMI HIDEYOSHI: EXCERPTS FROM LIMITATION ON THE PROPAGATION OF CHRISTIANITY, 1587 EXCERPTS FROM EXPULSION OF MISSIONARIES, 1587 Introduction The unification of Japan and the creation of a lasting national polity in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries required more than just military exploits. Japan’s “three unifiers,” especially Toyotomi Hideyoshi (1536- 1598) and Tokugawa Ieyasu (1543-1616), enacted a series of social, economic, and political reforms in order to pacify a population long accustomed to war and instability and create the institutions necessary for lasting central rule. Although Hideyoshi and Ieyasu placed first priority on domestic affairs — especially on establishing authority over domain lords, warriors, and agricultural villages — they also dictated sweeping changes in Japan’s international relations. The years from 1549 to 1639 are sometimes called the “Christian century” in Japan. In the latter half of the sixteenth century, Christian missionaries, especially from Spain and Portugal, were active in Japan and claimed many converts, including among the samurai elite and domain lords. The following edicts restricting the spread of Christianity and expelling European missionaries from Japan were issued by Hideyoshi in 1587.

Some Observations on the Weddings of Tokugawa Shogun’s Daughters – Part 1 Abstract In this study I shall discuss the marriage politics of Japan's early ruling families (mainly from the 6th to the 12th centuries) and the adaptation of these practices to new circumstances by the leaders of the following centuries. Marriage politics culminated with the founder of the Edo bakufu, the first shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu (1542-1616). To show how practices continued to change, I shall discuss the weddings given by the fifth shogun sunaT yoshi (1646-1709) and the eighth shogun Yoshimune (1684-1751). The marriages of Tsunayoshi's natural and adopted daughters reveal his motivations for the adoptions and for his choice of the daughters’ husbands. The marriages of Yoshimune's adopted daughters show how his atypical philosophy of rulership resulted in a break with the earlier Tokugawa marriage politics.

  • Research Trends in Japan on the Japanese Invasion of Korea in 1592(Imjin War) 1
    International Journal of Korean History (Vol.18 No.2, Aug. 2013) 31 Research Trends in Japan on the Japanese Invasion of Korea in 1592(Imjin War) 1 Nakano Hitoshi* Foreword The Japanese invasion of Korea in the late 16th Century is also called the Chosŏn (Joseon) Campaign or the Bunroku Keicho Offensive in Japan or the Imjin (Jp., Jinshin) War. In Japan, studies of the event have been actively conducted since the Edo period. There is a large amount of aca- demic research also in the early modern period. A historic review of the Bunroku Keicho Offensive that I wrote in regard of Japan in the early modern period appeared in the Report of the Second Round of the Korea- Japan Commission for the Joint Study of History, Subcommittee-2 (2010). Here, I intend to focus on recent research trends in Japan. Therefore, please refer to that previous article for discussions carried on in the period preceding Shōwa. In the main text, I intend to outline the research trends up to the 1970s, which relates to what I am asked to do, and then review the state of research in the 1980s and thereafter. Part of this will overlap with the contents of the previous article. I will deal with the task in units of a decade, and include explanation where necessary. * Kyushu University Faculty of Social and Cultural Studies 32 Research Trends in Japan on the Japanese Invasion of Korea in 1592(Imjin War) Research Trend up to the 1970s In the post-World War II period, a new view was adopted concerning the flow of the post-war study of history, inheriting the demonstrative research of the pre-war period.

The culture and tradition of Japan, so different from that of Europe, never ceases to enchant and intrigue people from the West. Hideyoshi was made daimyo of part of Omi Province now Shiga Prefecture after he helped take the region from the Azai Clan, and in , Nobunaga sent him to Himeji Castle to face the Mori Clan and conquer western Japan. It is an idea taken from Confucianism. Ieyasu was too late to take revenge on Akechi Mitsuhide for his betrayal of Nobunaga—Hideyoshi beat him to it. Son of a common foot soldier in Owari Province now western Aichi Prefecture , he joined the Oda Clan as a foot soldier himself in After Imagawa leader Yoshimoto was killed in a surprise attack by Nobunaga, Ieyasu decided to switch sides and joined the Oda. See our price match guarantee. He built up his capital at Edo now Tokyo in the lands he had won from the Hojo, thus beginning the Edo Period of Japanese history. It emphasised loyalty, modesty, war skills and honour. About this item. Installing Yoshiaki as the new shogun, Nobunaga hoped to use him as a puppet leader. Whether this was out of disrespect for a "beast," as Mitsuhide put it, or cover for an act of mercy remains a matter of debate. While Miyamoto Musashi may be the best-known "samurai" internationally, Oda Nobunaga claims the most respect within Japan.

Ao descrever os acontecimentos políticos do período, assim como a missão cristã (conduzida principalmente pelos jesuítas), este artigo busca entender a relação entre essa instabilidade do período sengoku e a inicial aceitação, por parte dos japoneses，de uma religião estrangeira. Palavras-chave: Japão; jesuítas; período Sengoku; Cristianismo; missão. Abstract: The period before the Portuguese arrival in Japan, called Sengoku period，is mainly de­ scribed by its political instability，uninterrupted wars and power fragmentation. Meanwhile describing the political events of the period and the Christian mission (leaded mainly by the Jesuits), this article aims to understand the relationship between this sengoku period instability and the initial acceptance, by the Japanese, of a foreigner religion.

The entire process was at risk of being aborted, which could have resulted in the country lapsing back into the state of civil war and anarchy in which it had lived for more than a century.4 However, an individual by the name of Tokugawa Ieyasu 徳川家康 (1543-1616) 5 shrewdly took advantage of the hesitation shown by many of his rivals and the military weakness or lack of strategic vision on the part of others to take control of the Japanese Empire, which would remain in the hands of his family for more than 250 years.

  • Name and Fame Material Objects As Authority, Security, and Legacy
    4 Name and Fame Material Objects as Authority, Security, and Legacy Morgan Pitelka In 1603 the reigning emperor elevated Tokugawa Ieyasu to the office of shogun, confirming his decisive military victory over opponents in 1600 and his subse- quent, and far-reaching, assumption of governing prerogatives (from assigning landholdings to minting coins). Preceded by a fulsome courtship of imperial favor with gifts and ritual deference, the appointment led to both the amplified administrative initiatives and ceremonial performances that might secure a fragile peace. Ieyasu tacked back and forth between the imperial capital of Kyoto and his shogunal headquarters in Edo, working all political channels to build support for his regime. Backing mattered, particularly because the teenage heir of his for- mer lord—Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who first brought union to the warring states— remained with his mother at Osaka castle as a rallying point for doubters and the disaffected. A potential division in fealty compounded the dangers of a nascent rule. Ieyasu took the precaution, consequently, of resigning the office of shogun in 1605. Surprising for a hungry ruler still establishing his mandate, the decision was prudent for a would-be dynast. Succession tormented the houses of the warring states (1467–1603). Indeed, it was contests over the headship of three leading families that had provoked the opening hostilities of the Ōnin war in Kyoto and then tangled all provinces in violence. And, again and again, throughout the ordeals upending the Ashikaga shogunate and the very premises of medieval rule, problems over heirs shaped the course of conflict. Not least in Ieyasu’s immediate memory.
