Although nothing has ever been proved, Nobunaga was suspected of having used ninja to remove another rival. He is the prototype of later samurai heroes: a skilled and noble warrior, harried and hunted down by his many enemies who — although he comes to a tragic end — eventually has a worthwhile death. It is interesting to note that the "barbarians" being fought by the shogun at this point were other Yamato Japanese, rather than members of different ethnic groups. Its razor sharp edge gave him the ability to cut through an opponent right down to the bone. Third Generation. They were expected to be loyal, courageous, obedient, and frugal. The main roles of the daimyo in feudal Japan were to protect the shoguns and being rulers of people, land and property of the assigned area. This code was called bushido , "the way of the warrior". Yamato Sujin is a figure partly of myth and partly of history. There are many candidates who could become Shogun, but only if they have the skill to succeed in war and the will to prevail over their enemies!

A good general made sure that ashigaru were never given the key position in any battle, and that there were troops behind them to bolster their morale, act as a rallying point or just simply kill them if they did choose to run. Still, losing your ability to have unlimited vasals sucks. Famous or perhaps just overly proud samurai sometimes had their names emblazoned on their sashimono rather than a clan symbol.

    Why did Japan end its isolation? Why did Japan industrialize during the Meiji Period? Objectives: Students will examine the causes for industrialization in Japan. Introduction Directions: Examine the two documents below and answer the questions that follow. Tokugawa Laws of Japan in 1634 * Japanese ships shall not be sent abroad. *No Japanese shall be sent abroad. Anyone breaking this law shall suffer the penalty of death... *The arrival of foreign ships must be reported to Edo (Tokyo) and a watch kept over them. *The samurai shall not buy goods on board foreign ships. Source: January 2002 Global History and Geography Regents Exam. Source: January 2002 Global History and Geography Regents Exam. Japan Opens Up Japan, under the rule of the Tokugawa clan (1603 to 1867), experienced more than 200 years of isolation. During this period, the emperors ruled in name only. The real political power was in the hands of the shoguns all of whom were from the Tokugawa family. The Tokugawa maintained a feudal system in Japan that gave them and wealthy landowners called daimyo power and control. After negative experiences with Europeans in the 1600s, the shoguns were extremely resistant to trade because they viewed outsiders as a threat to his power. Japan's isolation came to an end in 1853 when Commodore Matthew Perry of the United States Navy, commanding a squadron of two steam ships and two sailing vessels, sailed into Tokyo harbor. He sought to force Japan to end their isolation and open their ports to trade with U.S merchant ships. At the time, many industrialized nations in Europe and the United States were seeking to open new markets where they could sell their manufactured goods, as well as new countries to supply raw materials for industry.

Some Observations on the Weddings of Tokugawa Shogun’s Daughters – Part 2 Abstract This section discusses the complex psychological and philosophical reason for Shogun Yoshimune’s contrasting handlings of his two adopted daughters’ and his favorite son’s weddings. In my thinking, Yoshimune lived up to his philosophical principles by the illogical, puzzling treatment of the three weddings. We can witness the manifestation of his modest and frugal personality inherited from his ancestor Ieyasu, cohabiting with his strong but unconventional sense of obligation and respect for his benefactor Tsunayoshi.

  • JSSUS Tosho Article For
    Overview and Development of Tsuba made by Japanese Swordsmiths By David Stiles Introduction I will introduce new Japanese language terms with an English, non-italicized explanation followed by the standard italicized Romaji and Kanji if possible. The italicized Japanese terms are not punctuated or pluralized like normal English words. To begin, I would like to introduce the topic of my essay: the handguards of Japanese swords referred to as tsuba (鍔) made by professional Swordsmiths, Tôshô (刀匠 ), or their apprentices. In part one of the essay I will present a historical background to the early swordsmith handguards Ko-Tôshô tsuba (古刀匠鍔 ) as well as characteristics that define them as a group. In part two of the essay I will present Tôshô tsuba (刀匠鍔 ) and the characteristics that define them as a group. There is an important caveat that must be stated in regards to this article. The reference material used for this introduction to Tôshô tsuba were written in English or were translated at some point from Japanese to English and are of a secondary nature. New historical or contemporary primary references were not translated and used for the basis of the article. Historical Background of Ko-Tôshô Tsuba The earliest Tôshô tsuba are referred to in Japanese as Ko- Tôshô ( 古刀匠 ) and date from the Genpei War ( Genpei kassen 源平合戦 ) (1180–1185) to middle Muromachi Period ( 室町時代 ) (1400- 1500). The Genpei War was the legendary conflict between the Taira ( 平氏 ) and Minamoto ( 源氏 ) clans during the late Heian Period ( 平安時代 ) (794-1185). There are references in historical documents of the Genpei War to the hand guards and blade collars made by professional swordsmiths or their apprentices.

  • Schaftliches Klima Und Die Alte Frau Als Feindbild
    6 Zusammenfassung und Schluss: Populärkultur, gesell- schaftliches Klima und die alte Frau als Feindbild Wie ein extensiver Streifzug durch die großstädtische Populärkultur der späten Edo-Zeit gezeigt hat, tritt darin etwa im letzten Drittel der Edo-Zeit der Typus hässlicher alter Weiber mit zahlreichen bösen, ne- gativen Eigenschaften in augenfälliger Weise in Erscheinung. Unter Po- pulärkultur ist dabei die Dreiheit gemeint, die aus dem volkstümlichen Theater Kabuki besteht, den polychromen Holzschnitten, und der leich- ten Lektüre der illustrierten Romanheftchen (gōkan) und der – etwas gehobenere Ansprüche bedienenden – Lesebücher (yomihon), die mit einem beschränkten Satz von Schriftzeichen auskamen und der Unter- haltung und Erbauung vornehmlich jener Teile der Bevölkerung dien- ten, die nur eine einfache Bildung genossen hatten. Durch umherziehen- de Leihbuchhändler fand diese Art der Literatur auch über den groß- städtischen Raum hinaus bis hin in die kleineren Landflecken und Dör- fer hinein Verbreitung. Die drei Medien sind vielfach verschränkt: Holzschnitte dienen als Werbemittel für bzw. als Erinnerungsstücke an Theateraufführungen; Theaterprogramme sind reich illustrierte kleine Holzschnittbücher; die Stoffe der Theaterstücke werden in den zahllo- sen Groschenheften in endlosen Varianten recyclet; in der Heftchenlite- ratur spielt die Illustration eine maßgebliche Rolle, die Illustratoren sind dieselben wie die Zeichner der Vorlagen für die Holzschnitte; in einigen Fällen sind Illustratoren und Autoren identisch; Autoren steuern Kurz- texte als Legenden für Holzschnitte bei. Nachdrücklich muss der kommerzielle Aspekt dieser „Volkskultur“ betont werden. In allen genannten Sparten dominieren Auftragswerke, die oft in nur wenigen Tagen erledigt werden mussten. Die Theaterbe- treiber ließen neue Stücke schreiben oder alte umschreiben beziehungs- weise brachten Kombinationen von Stücken zur Aufführung, von wel- chen sie sich besonders viel Erfolg versprachen.

  • From Ieyasu to Yoshinao
    2021 Summer Special Exhibition From Ieyasu to Yoshinao The Transition to a Powerful Pre-Modern State July 17 (Sat.) - September 12 (Sun.), 2021 INTRODUCTION Striving through the sengoku (Warring States) period, Tokugawa Ieyasu (1543-1616) finally achieved the unification of the whole country. Yoshinao (1601-1650), the ninth son of Ieyasu, was assigned to govern the Owari domain during the era of peace. The two were father and son, yet they lived in contrasting times. Yoshinao, who inherited a large fortune of assets and texts from Ieyasu, established the foundations of the Owari domain and led Nagoya to prosperity. Focusing on the principles of their rule, passed down from Ieyasu to Yoshinao, this exhibition traces their lives, their administration, and Yoshinao’s feelings towards Ieyasu, as observed in historical documents and inherited objects. Part 1 Tokugawa Ieyasu, Toyotomi Family, and Tokugawa Yoshinao [ Exhibits Number: 1-42 ] Exhibition Rooms at Hosa Library [Section 1] Ieyasu during the Age of the Warring States: the Eve of Yoshinao’s Birth This section deals with the dramatic changes that occurred in the latter part of Ieyasu’s life, spanning the battle of Nagakute in 1584—in which Ieyasu and Nobukatsu (the second son of Nobunaga) fought Hideyoshi after Nobunaga’s death in 1582, Ieyasu’s subsequent vassalage to Hideyoshi, and the battle of Sekigahara in 1600. [Section 2] Yoshinao during the Age of the Warring States After the death of Toyotomi Hideyoshi on the 18th of the 8th month of 1598, Ieyasu increasingly came into conflict with Hideyoshi’s heir, Hideyori, and his vassals of western Japan, led by Ishida Mitsunari.
