Tokugawa shogunate

I chose to make my project about kabuki theatre in Tokugawa Era Japan. Created early in the era, kabuki theatre is an iconic and important aspect of the Tokugawa Era. Its importance is still relevant today as kabuki theatre remains a popular form of entertainment in modern day Japan. In my exhibit, I made sure to use a neutral tone to avoid any bias in providing viewers with the history of kabuki theatre. The purpose of this exhibit is to provide the history of kabuki and let the viewers make…

restoration of the Japanese shogunate? The restoration of the Japanese shogunate started when Tokugawa Ieyasu rose to authority from a small daimyo house located in Japan. Rather than pursuing foreign development, Tokugawa focused on strengthening dominance in Japan. He was given the name of shogun, which validated instruction by the Tokugawa shogunate. This act led to the union of authority being approved from the daimyos. Ultimately, the restoration of the shogunate caused an end to a period…

was not always the case; the image of Japan as a nation, as a group of people with a common identity, did not exist in the pre-Tokugawa period. Instead, it was through the centralizing forces of the Meiji Revolution, on both political and social levels, that ultimately resulted in the creation of Japan, the nation state. The political structure of Japan in the Tokugawa era was a feudal one—though there was a central capital where the Emperor and the shogun resided, the primary form of…

remained constant while there were significant changes in their militarily weak country and isolated nation. Japan changed from being a weakened isolated nation to a modern imperialist country. Before this big change, Japan was under the rule of Tokugawa Shogunate. Japan did not associate with any other country because they believed foreign influence was a undermining factor.

The biggest weakness came when they were threatened from the outside (Bulliet, 728). The main reason behind this was the necessary resources required to prevent…

In the period from the Tokugawa era to the post-WWII era, Japanese society saw a dramatic shift in the prevalence of Japanese militarism and the existence of the traditional Japanese war mentality. Deeply rooted in samurai culture, Japanese militarism served as a foundation for Japanese society throughout the Tokugawa era; the class system gave way to a ‘warrior-elite’ class that dominated the social hierarchy. This pervasive warrior-dominated culture persisted into the Meiji period. Japanese…

After more than two centuries of self-imposed peaceful isolationist policy or the sakoku under the Tokugawa Shogunate, Japan had rose into an expansionist and imperialist nation just within decades in comparison to the other western countries. No one could imagine such a small island country in Asia could rise into such a powerful nation-state. Japan began expanding and seizing colonies in Asia in the late nineteenth century later than the Western colonizers such as England, France, the Dutch,…
