Description
We hear a lot about Japan’s economy, international trade, anime, manners, etc., but how did she get to where she is, today? From whence cometh thou, Japan? Let’s take a short journey through her pre-historic and historical phases and look at the building blocks that accumulated over the millennia. We’ll look at periods ranging from Ancient Japan to Modern Japan and a very brief look at Contemporary Japan. When did the archipelago break away from the mainland? What are the roots of the Japanese? Were they hunters/gatherers-Domesticated-Between? What was the high point & mark of Japanese culture? Who was in charge—the feudal lords or the emperor? Who and why did the samurai come about?
