The arts teach young people how to learn by inspiring in them the desire to learn. The arts use a symbolic language to convey the cultural values and ideologies of the time and place of their making. By including Asian arts in their curriculums, teachers can embark on culturally diverse studies and students will gain a broader and deeper understanding of the world in which they live. Often, this means that students will be encouraged to study the arts of their own cultural heritage and thereby gain self-esteem. Given that the study of Asia is required in many state curriculums, it is clear that our schools and teachers need support and resources to meet the demands and expectations that they already face.

  • Medieval Japan Through Art: Samurai Life in Medieval Japan
    www.colorado.edu/ptea-curriculum/imaging-japanese-history Medieval Japan Through Art: Samurai Life in Medieval Japan by Jaye Zola, Retired Teacher and Librarian, Boulder Valley Schools Introduction: Teachers are encouraged to read “Medieval Japan: An Introductory Essay,” by historian Ethan Segal, prior to conducting this lesson. The introductory essay may also be assigned to students with advanced reading abilities (grades 11-12). The essay provides context for this lesson by sketching the history of medieval Japan. Medieval Japan saw warfare and chaos. The growth of the warrior class and the influence of Buddhism eventually gave rise to a refined culture having roots in the classical Japanese tradition. The time period referred to as medieval Japan actually comprised three distinct periods: the Kamakura (1185-1333), Muromachi (1336-1573), and Momoyama (1568-1603). Beginning with the Kamakura through the mid-19th century, military rulers governed Japan. During the Muromachi and Momoyama, the feudal structure concentrated wealth, culture, and power in the hands of feudal lords called daimyō. The social structure of samurai as retainers to noble lords enabled a few powerful daimyō to eventually be shogun or the military ruler. This lesson is designed to challenge the view of sword-wielding samurai of U.S. movies. Rather than focusing on one particular art form, this lesson uses a variety of images from scrolls, screens, and artifacts. Using these visual sources, students learn about the three different periods of medieval Japan. Adding to the visual record of this time period, literature selections bring the voice of the samurai into the historical account.

    | 137 Chapter 3: Premodern Japan - The Azuchi-Momoyama and Edo Periods Section 1 – From warring states to national unification Topic 31 – The warring states daimyo What were the distinguishing characteristics of the new style of government instituted by | 138 the warring states daimyo? The emergence of the daimyo The protector-daimyo lost their positions of strength during and after the Onin War. Gekokujo became widespread as more and more of the powerful retainers and village samurai toppled the protector-daimyo through force of arms and installed themselves as masters of their provinces. These new feudal lords are called the warring states daimyo.1 *1=The major daimyo families included the Hojo clan of Sagami Province (modern-day Kanagawa Prefecture), the Asakura clan of Echizen Province (modern-day Fukui Prefecture), the Imagawa clan, whose power extended from Suruga Province (modern-day Shizuoka Prefecture) to Mikawa Province (modern-day eastern Aichi Prefecture), the Uesugi clan of Echigo Province (modern-day Niigata Prefecture), the Takeda clan of Kai Province (modern-day Yamanashi Prefecture), and the Mori clan, which was based in Aki Province (modern-day Hiroshima Prefecture) and extended its influence across southern Japan, including Shikoku and Kyushu. Japan's farming villages had already been forming their own governing bodies called so and asserting their autonomy since the time of the War of the Northern and Southern Courts, which had loosened the grip of the shogunate and the protectors over rural communities. Some of these so had been organizing ikki to achieve common ends. Under the leadership of local samurai, they often succeeded in making their demands heard.

  • History of Japanese Literature Based on Books" Materials List, Part III 名 称 名称ふりがな 解 説
    Regular Exhibition "History of Japanese Literature Based on Books" Materials List, Part III 名 称 名称ふりがな 解 説 III Literature in the ちゅうせいのぶんがく Medieval Period The medieval period corresponds to a time about 400 years from the end of the 12th century to the 16th century. In this period, samurais newly expanded their power along with nobles and temples/shrines that had seized power. From the Kamakura period when the political power shifted to samurais, through the Nanboku-cho period that became confused due to an emperor's attempt for recovery, the Muromachi period when samurais ruled the country again, to the Azuchi-Momoyama period characterized by gekokujo or inferiors displacing their superiors, unstable political situations and recurring wars had a considerable influence on literature. After the establishment of the Kamakura shogunate in 1185, eastern Japan increased its presence, also influencing literature. Setsuwa literature describing the provinces and common people developed, while Literature in the Kamakura かまくら・なんぼくちょう travel literature about journeys and trips emerged. Wars spread the culture of Kyoto across the provinces, じだいのぶんがく and aroused criticism of the real society and interest in history, leading to the creation of many war tales and and Nanboku-cho Periods treatises on history. People sought to be saved from uneasy daily life, resulting in the advent of hougo, which preaches the Buddhist doctrine, and literature of hermits rooted in the Buddhist view of life as transitory. Opposing samurais, Cloistered Emperor Go-Toba promoted waka as nobles' culture. The largest-ever waka contest Sen-Gohyakuban Utaawase was held, and Shin Kokin Wakashu was compiled as the anthology crowning hachidai-shu or the eight major waka anthologies compiled by imperial command.

Abstract This article is an attempt to focus on the origin of ikebana, tatehana (standing branch or flower) style and to examine the process of the historical development of ikebana. First, we pay attention to the fact that the treetop of a big tree is brought into the house and is put up in a flower vase and decorated in the tokonoma (wall niche) even today after having been cut in the rituals of the mountain divinity, then we will examine what kind of effect the belief in big trees had on the formalization of tatehana style, established in the Muromachi period (1338–1573). We will examine how the tatehana style was formalized, how the tatehana style developed into rikka (standing branch or flower) style, established in the early Edo period (17th century), how seika or shoka (standing branch or flower) style in the latter part of Edo period (18th century) evolved from rikka style through the historical development of ikebana. Finally, we will conclude that this is ikebana. Keyword: Ikebana, tatehana, the mountain divinity, the central branch, the central axis, the tokonoma space. 1. Definition of Ikebana Ikebana is a traditional Japanese cut-plant arrangement using branches, leaves, and flowers which are placed in containers or vases filled with water.
