Japan has changed a ton over time. Two of it's well known time periods are reffered to as Sengoko and tokugawa ( warring states and great peace).

__**[|Sengoku period]**__ (warring states period) ~ middle of the 15th century to the beginning of the 17th century. The name "Sengoku" was later chosen by historians to refer to 'Warring States Period'. The Sengoku period in Japan eventually would lead to the unification of political power under the Shogun of Tokugawa.

Established by Ieyasu, Tokugawa, the shogun was a ruler of Japan. This time is also known as the Edo period (the name originates from the capital city, Edo, [today's Tokyo] The samurai served a Daimyo as warriors.[Daimyo- local/regional warlord]Before Nobunaga had changed the way everyone would fight [using muskets], the warriors used to shout about themselves(place of origin, name, bloodline, etc) After Nobunaga had began using muskets, the samurai were no longer recognized, and therefore considered less important.

Hostage- A hostage was used to build trust between people, was proof of loyalty, and was treated like family. (Educated, well fed/ taken care of)

[|Kabuki] is a form of visual art developed in the Tokugawa period. the name stands for sing (歌), //dance// (舞), and //skill// (伎). The actors were of low status, though highly respected in today's society. **__Otani Oniji II__**

__**[|Tokugawa period]**__ A time of prosperity, economic growth, artistic brilliance, and social change(samurai lose status, merchants gain status) In the Tokugawa period,there was social mixing, cities were crowed/urban, uniform, and infrastructural.houses were made of wood and needed watchtower to be on guard for fire, to avoid a catastrophy. standards(flag like things with crests on them)were used by Daimyo, samurai, and some merchants[to identify and present status] After a long time of war, the Tokugawa clan emerged(1603) as the pre eminent family in Japan. (ruled from 1603-1868) Their rule was known as the 'great peace'. the samurai were the highest ranking class in the Tokugawa class system. The samurai grew poor, as they had no jobs to take(they were not permitted to engage in trade or farming) Farmers gained as the period continued. More land became available and the techniques became more advanced.The farmers even gained the ability to produce silk and other goods. Artisans were required to build the castle towns, roads, bridges, boats, buildings, etc, which urbanized the society. The merchants were at the bottom of the tokugawa social class system, though they benefited greatly from the urbanization, they even traded the samurais' rice for money. The samurai became indebted to the merchants, as the merchants became highly wealthy. A daimyo procession

Samurai samurai always kept their swords with them (required to carry two at all times). The Samurai used insence and cold water(to wash hands) every morning so they would be ready to die. how/when to die was important to know/ plan, for a samurai required an honorable death. seppuku/richukuri/suicide(The abdomen was cut to remove the heart[believed to be in the abomen] a sword/dagger would have been used, and the head may have been chopped off to give an honorable death, rather than fainting and dying of blood loss.) bushi(do) (way of the warrior) and Kendo(way of the sword) was a large practice between samurai. [|the five rings]- A book that taught techniques

ninja were originally created by the lower/mid class to protect them from the samurai, who would have otherwise killed(or disiplined them). Ninja(at that time) were known to be powerful and stealthy. The samurai came to fear the ninja.

[|South Wind at Clear Dawn (Gaifu kaisei)] Mt fuji is a widely known mountain. It is commonly pictured in japanese art. "1945, the occasion where meeting of the psychological war for Japan was done in the US military headquarters, a certain scientist as for the Japanese has especially loved Mt. Fuji, if blue Mt. Fuji is dyed red, that it is possible to lower the fighting spirit of the Japanese, you propose. All recognized that directed to execution as the maneuvers which are superior, and story advanced. But, when the one of the scientists tries calculating the quantity of the paint, above imagining the fact whose Mt. Fuji is large was ascertained, the discontinuance was decided instantaneously at that place by the judgment of the higher stratum of society section.

'psychological war section "the strategic intelligence bureau" inside, the maneuvers which drop the fighting spirit of the Japanese were thought. To cover 2 Mt. Fuji surface, thinking from the surface area, the paint approximately 120000 tons furthermore B29 which carries that becomes approximately 3 State affairs necessary."
