    Ancient and modern civilization at war for the soul of Japan is the main idea that revolves around the whole plot of the movie. The story takes place in the year 1876 where a rebellion took place in Yoshino Province. The revolt is primarily due to the rapid modernization of Japan through having an opened border for trading with the rest of the world. The movie encompasses the transition from Tokugawa shogunate up to the Meiji era as it illustrates the difference between the traditional ways of life to the newly found western lifestyle.…

    Tokugawa Ieyasu was a great samurai fighter and cunning politician. In battle of Sekigahara Tokugawa defeated his major rivals and established Tokugawa government. His headquarter was established in village of Edo away from the imperial families in Kyoto. Ieyasu and successors choose to rule as shoguns, or feudal lords, demanding loyalty from the daimyo and exercising direct control only over their own territorial domains. The people saw the emperor as divine descent of sun goddess Amatersau, however, established the emperor as the ultimate source of political authority and surrounded the imperial throne with thicket of taboos that protected it from usurpation.…

    Post War Japan

    • 2 Pages

    Post-war Japan benefited greatly from the United States. Once the U.S. occupied Japan it took sole responsibility to make the country a “self-sustaining nation” capable of resisting Soviet pressure from abroad and major political agitation from within (Brower 2006). General MacArthur, U.S. Army commander-in-chief, held absolute power and answered only to the U.S president during his occupation of Japan (Brower 2006). The social reforms MacArthur implemented during this time included a new constitution, equality of women and legal protection of owner’s rights. All of these created positive moves for the ruined country. The Japanese were welcoming of the new constitution and democratic ways. It was closely related to the way Japan was run in 1920. The constitution also gave the farmers back their land. This gave the farmers a big political advantage; it also led them to back the new constitution and way of life. Big businesses were dismantled and small businesses flourished.…

    Japanese And Ukiyo-E

    • 527 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Japanese designs and ukiyo-e prints from the 18th and 19th centuries influenced many of the western artists in both America and Europe. According to the “Gateways To Art” textbook, Ukiyo is a Japanese word that means “floating world” and Ukiyo-e means “pictures of the floating world”. Both of these were woodblock prints and they showed scenes and characters from the districts of modern day Tokyo. Vincent Van Gogh was one of the great artists inspired by Japan. According to Japan Talk, Van Gogh incorporated many elements of ukiyo-e into his style and also copied ukiyo-e sometimes. One famous artwork that I will be observing would be “Japonaiserie: Flowering Plum Tree”. This famous Oil on Canvas was painted in 1887 in Paris and is now located in Vincent Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam. It’s dimensions are 21 ½ x 18 inches and it was actually copied from Hiroshige.…

    The Rise of Japan

    • 3 Pages

    the reason why Japan was able to modernize its industry, military and government to the point where they were able to compete with the west, while the rest of Asia lagged behind was due to the fact that they were flexible. They realized that in order to become more powerful than the west they needed to modernize and get their technology, industry, military and government up to date so they could improve and become more advanced than the other world powers. They knew that if they continued living as they were (under their strict and ancient ways of life and traditions) they were not going to become anything significant, but instead end up defeated and ruled by the west (who they despised).…

    The research question that will be addressed is: Why did Mao decide to intervene in the Korean War (1950-53)? As far as the scope is concerned, I will be looking at the three major reasons behind Mao’s intervention in the war: Mao’s need of Soviet support, apprehension of American aggression, and his obligation to help North Korea. Thus, to achieve accuracy and depth in my research, I used relevant secondary sources such as books written by reputable authors with expert knowledge in history of modern China such as Spence, Fenby and Cumings, and also used journal articles. I followed a chronological approach in the summary of evidence, and a thematic approach in the analysis.…

    Forieigners in Japan

    • 2498 Words

    The recent (Jan. 2007) publication of Gaijin Hanzai Ura File (The Secret Crimes of Foreigners) devoted to highlighting crimes committed by foreign nationals in Japan appears to have further contributed to the negative stereotyping of certain nationalities living here. The magazine’s openly offensive and racist articles (including whether Korean virgins’ genitals smell of kimchi; using the word ‘nigger’ next to a photo of a black man cuddling a Japanese woman) are used to highlight that a record 48,000 crimes were committed by foreign nationals in Japan in 2005. This is complemented by a ‘danger rating’ of the nationalities who pose the largest threat to Japan’s society. Unfortunately, this type of hyperbolic reporting has now become quite common practice and reflects certain sections of the media’s regular fixation with foreign crime in particular, regardless of wider crime issues. Their eagerness to seize on the National Police Agency’s (NPA) biannual crime rate report to regurgitate old prejudices adds to the concern among the foreign community that the constant stream of lurid stories about foreign criminal elements is fueling public fear of non-Japanese at a time when there is much debate about increasing the number of immigrants allowed to stay in the country to counter the economic effects of a rapidly aging and shrinking population (forecast to fall from 127 million to 100 million by 2050). This debate reveals a very visible dichotomy between those who still cling to the notion of Japan as a homogeneous society and those who recognize that the country must allow more immigrants if it is to tackle the inevitable economical problems caused by the demographic change.…
