Additionally from “Farming the Home Place: Taking Root in a Harsh Land”, there was multiple offenses of vigilante violence against Japanese farmers in Turlock, California. This was more physical violence by groups of local people. At night people would rob the Japanese ranchers, or escalate it to the point of which they would actually drive them out of the town and warn them to not return. This showed that the local people from the same area were not accepting of anyone who was Japanese. Also…
transition and cultural identity that Japan had at the moment. Through these three movies and especially the ones set during World war two I was able to see the Japan trying to grow to fit a new world with new ideas and standards. It was also clear to see the different expectations and realities that all the different players were seeing or working with. Starting off looking at Hiroshima and a Bridge to the Sun, both of these films really led me to see a Japan that was holding on to its…

The first time that Japan has contact with China is in 57 C.E., Wa (Japan) sent an envoy with tribute to Later Han (China) and emperor of Han gave gold seal to Wa.

Rogue waves and tsunamis are two strong forces that occur in the ocean. The way they form and their features are alike and different in many ways. Rogue waves and tsunamis both form in the ocean but form in different ways. Tsunamis can form in multiple ways. In source 2 it says, Tsunamis can form from earthquakes, volcanoes, and landslides on the ocean floor. Large meteorites can cause tsunamis when they hit the water. When tsunamis hit shallow water its acts as a ramp pushing the water up…
Jun Kaneko: The Monolithic Sculptures Sculpting is done by carving, casting, or using any other shaping techniques. This can done on a large or small scale and though a lot of people sculpt, specific techniques make everyone’s work unique. Jun Kaneko was a Japanese born artist who reformed the shape and size of ceramic sculptures. His monumental head sculptures were about 123 inches high and fairly 6,000 pounds.

Upon the middle ages (400 to 1400 A.C) lived the samurai, the loyal warriors of Japan, and the knights, the religious warriors of Europe. Though they may be on opposite sides of the world, they do not acknowledge each other’s existence, similarities were mere coincidences, and the two display little correlation among each other. The knights and samurai differentiated upon their training, had dissimilar loyalty policies and codes, and diverse perspectives of death. Although the samurai and…

China on the other hand, was reluctant to accept the idea of modernization; it feared losing its traditional culture by inviting ideologies brought by the Western world.…

However, by the 7th century, the prince Shitoku came into power. He was a young man who liked the Chinese culture, and he accepted Buddhism as their official religion. This is how the two religions…
Writing this paper has been interesting to say the least. The Japanese Culture is somewhat like the African American culture I grew up in. They value respect of your ancestors and elders, and they believe that you should keep family business a secret and never really seek outside help. Also, just like the African American men in my society, the Japanese men do not believe that should seek professional help. While writing this paper I realized how little I knew about Japanese, let alone Japanese…
