Here are the key points about westernization helping Japan and Siam avoid colonization:
- Japan and Siam embraced westernization and modernization to strengthen their militaries and economies in order to compete with European colonial powers. They adopted Western technology, education systems, forms of government, and other cultural aspects.
- Westernizing helped Japan and Siam present themselves as modern, civilized nations to the European powers and thus avoid being viewed as targets for colonization, as many other Asian and African countries were.
- By adopting Western customs but maintaining independence, Japan and Siam positioned themselves as equals to the European nations rather than inferior peoples in need of European governance, as colonialism was often justified.

Chiune Sugihara was a Japanese diplomat who issued transit visas that saved around 6,000 Jewish refugees from the Holocaust. Against the orders of his government, Sugihara wrote visas in Kaunas, Lithuania for Jewish refugees seeking to escape from the Nazis. Within a month, he issued at least 2,139 visas, allowing entire families to travel to Japanese territory. Though he risked his career, Sugihara believed helping the refugees was the right thing to do, stating "I may have disobeyed my government, but if I didn't I would be disobeying God."
Uemura Masahisa and the High Treason Incident: Evangelism and PoliticsLawrence Graham
Uemura Masahisa was a pioneering Japanese Christian leader in the early 19th century. He helped establish evangelical churches and theological education. In 1911, he conducted a consolation service for Oishi Seinosuke, who was one of 26 defendants accused in the High Treason Incident. This incident was largely used by authorities as a pretext to arrest leftists and dissidents. 12 defendants were hanged, including Oishi, though evidence against many was circumstantial. The incident marked a shift in Meiji Japan towards greater censorship and government control of ideologies deemed subversive.

General Tomoyuki Yamashita was put on trial for war crimes committed by his troops in the Philippines in 1945. He was charged with failing to control the actions of his soldiers, which allowed them to commit brutal atrocities against civilians. This was one of the first instances where a military commander was held criminally responsible for war crimes carried out by subordinates. Yamashita denied the charges, but he was convicted in a controversial trial by a U.S. military commission and subsequently hanged.

The Japanese occupation of Eastern China began with the Mukden Incident in 1931, where Japan used a staged explosion as pretext to invade Manchuria. Japan then provoked the Marco Polo Bridge Incident in 1937 to justify invading all of China, starting the Second Sino-Japanese War. One major battle was the three-month long Battle of Shanghai, where China lacked equipment but fought bravely. Eventually, the Japanese captured the city of Nanking and then carried out the Nanking Massacre, killing an estimated 300,000 civilians and soldiers over six weeks through murder, rape, and other atrocities.
Japan is an archipelago located in East Asia with a long history of adopting Chinese culture and a feudal system that centralized power under military rulers called shoguns. In the late 19th century, Japan opened up to Western influence and began a period of modernization that transformed it into an industrial and military power, though this eventually led it to invade other Asian countries and join World War II on the side of the Axis powers. Today Japan has a democratic-constitutional monarchy system of government and a strong economy that remains heavily influenced by both traditional culture and modern Western trends.
The document discusses changes for women during Japan's Meiji era (1868-1912), when the country modernized after opening to Western influences. Women began wearing Western clothing in public but still wore kimonos at home, as dresses and shoes were impractical. The Meiji constitution defined rigid gender roles, with women excluded from politics and expected to be good wives and mothers. While technology advanced, policies increased taxes, conscription, and segregated women more than the previous era.

This document discusses how retail and consumption behaviors are influencing the shape of cities. It begins with a brief history of how markets and trading places originally shaped cities, and how industrialization and technology changed this. It then discusses 5 trends influencing future retail: 1) people purchasing online after discovering products in stores, 2) product convergence, 3) rapid production/supply chains, 4) access over ownership through services/sharing, and 5) economic pressures changing shopping patterns. It envisions 3 types of future cities driven by these trends: 1) the "One-Line City" where people rarely leave home, 2) local "Micro Cities", and 3) global "Cloud Cities".

- Google developed driverless cars that use sensors like lasers and cameras to drive autonomously.
- An online survey of 32 people found that most were unfamiliar with driverless cars and had safety concerns about hacking. While some saw benefits like freeing up time, over half were unwilling to use them due to expense and lack of charging stations.
- In conclusion, while driverless cars may improve safety and efficiency, many barriers like cost, hacking risks, and insufficient infrastructure must be addressed before most people will consider using them.

This document provides background information on Miyamoto Musashi and the context of 17th century Japan. It discusses:
1) Japan was in a period of unification following centuries of civil war. Musashi lived during the Tokugawa Shogunate which brought stability and isolation to the country.
2) Kendo, the way of the sword, was an important martial art for samurai. Many masterless samurai like Musashi traveled seeking to prove their skill through duels.
3) Zen Buddhism and its emphasis on enlightenment through discipline was influential in Kendo training, which aimed to subjugate the self and cultivate a calm mind.

Nanbokucho-period, Historical Origins of Modern Japanseijibrown2
The document discusses the historical origins of modern Japan during the Nanboku-cho Period. It describes how Takauji Ashikaga seized control of the Kamakura shogunate in 1333 and established the Ashikaga shogunate, leading to civil war between his forces and imperial loyalists. It also discusses the Kanno Disturbance of 1350-1351, where Takauji's brother Tadayoshi rebelled after being banished, further dividing the early Ashikaga regime. Finally, it summarizes how Yoshimitsu Ashikaga ended the Nanboku-cho period in 1392 through a truce between the competing imperial courts.
Three things were needed to end the Sengoku Era in Japan:
1) Oda Nobunaga utilized ruthless force and military skill to unite most of Honshu before being betrayed and killed in 1580.
2) Toyotomi Hideyoshi utilized great military skill and diplomacy to pacify resisting daimyos, becoming the military master of Japan by 1590 before dying in 1598.
3) Tokugawa Ieyasu utilized military and political skill to limit the power of the daimyos, being granted the title of Shogun in 1603 and unifying Japan, ending the era of "sengoku".
The Edo period in Japan lasted from 1603 to 1868. During this time, Japan was unified under the Tokugawa shogunate. The shogunate consolidated its power by establishing a feudal hierarchy with the shogun at the top, followed by daimyo lords and samurai warriors. Society was strictly ordered into four classes - samurai, peasants, artisans, and merchants. The isolationist policies of the sakoku restricted foreign trade to Dutch and Chinese merchants in Nagasaki. This period saw economic growth, a growing urban population in Edo (Tokyo), and cultural developments in arts and crafts.
The document analyzes how Japan's isolationism and desire to maintain culture during the Tokugawa Shogunate influenced its actions in World War 2 leading up to the attack on Pearl Harbor. It discusses how the Shogunate brought stability but also confined Japan. When Western influence increased after 1853, it overwhelmed Japan and contributed to the Shogunate's collapse in 1867. As Japan modernized after this, the clash between old and new ideas may have strengthened its culture's militaristic aspects and hostility, impacting its World War 2 actions.

Oda Nobunaga was a powerful daimyo who nearly completed the unification of Japan in the late 16th century during the Sengoku period. He rose to power in the Owari province and defeated several rival clans through decisive military victories. However, in 1582 his general Akechi Mitsuhide betrayed and attacked Nobunaga at Honno-ji temple in Kyoto, forcing Nobunaga to commit seppuku. Though Mitsuhide briefly took control, he was soon defeated by Nobunaga's general Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who went on to greatly expand Nobunaga's territories and further the goal of unification.
Japanese HistoryANCIENT JAPANThe First JapaneseHum.docxvrickens
1) Ancient Japan was first inhabited over 30,000 years ago via a land bridge from Asia. The Jomon period from 8,000 BC to 300 BC saw the development of pottery and shellfish gathering. From 300 BC to 300 AD, the Yayoi period brought rice farming and the use of bronze and iron tools.
2) The Kofun period from 300 AD to 710 AD saw a more unified Japan with powerful families buried in large tombs. Buddhism was introduced in 552 AD. In the 7th century, the emperor became more powerful and the capital was moved to Nara in 710, establishing a centralized state.
3) The Heian period from 794 to 1
Hideyoshi rose from humble beginnings to become a powerful daimyo after acquiring victories for Nobunaga. He supported Nobunaga's heir after his assassination and defeated a rival clan to take control of most of Japan. Hideyoshi prohibited peasants from owning swords to prevent rebellion and ended the Sengoku period by eliminating resistance. Towards the end of his life, he attempted to invade China and Korea but his forces were pushed back, and he died during the campaign though his death was kept secret initially.
The document summarizes the history of feudal Japan from the Yamato period to the Tokugawa shogunate period. It discusses how Japan adopted Chinese culture and Confucianism starting in the Yamato period. The Heian period saw the growth of arts and literature as well as the development of the samurai class. The Kamakura and Ashikaga shogunates established a feudal system led by shoguns. The Warring States period was marked by conflict between daimyo until Oda Nobunaga and Toyotomi Hideyoshi unified parts of Japan. Finally, the Tokugawa shogunate centralized power and established a strict class system, closing Japan off from foreign influence.
Feudalism developed in Japan as powerful clans and nobles (daimyo) gained independence and rivaled the emperor for control in the 9th-12th centuries. This led to many wars until a shogun unified the country in 1192, taking real power from the emperor. In the Edo Period starting in 1603, Tokugawa Ieyasu became shogun and established a feudal system with the daimyo lords divided under his control through a system of rotating residence, hostages, and obligations. This strict system maintained peace for over 250 years under 15 generations of Tokugawa rule.

Sumo Kabuki Actors
History of Kabuki
- The history of kabuki began in 1603 when Izumo no Okuni ,
possibly a miko, began performing a new style of dance drama.
- It originated in the 17th century when Japan was under the
control of the Tokugawa Shogunate.
- After women were banned from performing, cross-dressed male
actors, known as kabuki, took over.
- Young men were preferred for women's roles due to their less
masculine appearance and the higher pitch of their voices
compared to adult men.
- In addition, wakashu (adolescent male) roles, played by young
men often selected for attractiveness, became common, and
were often presented in an erotic content.
History of Geisha
- Geisha literal translates as ―person of the arts‖.
- Entertainers will usually be requested to perform for the noble
families.
- Following the years of peace after the civil wars, samurais
decided to retire as they found that their services are no longer
of use to the society.
- Daughters of the samurais were thought to have become
courtesans of noble families.

Hirotada: General Yoshimoto. My clan is being attacked by the Oda
Clan. I hereby seek for your help to prevent the Oda Clan from
invading my territory.
After serious consideration, Yoshimoto decided to accept his request.
Yoshimoto: I accept your request, General Hirotada under one
condition. You must send your son, Ieyasu to Sunpu, as a hostage.
Hirotada: ( Sacrifices has to be made for my clan. I’m sorry son, dad
loves you but he needs to send you away. ) he speaks in heart.
Oda Nobuhide, the leader of the Oda Clan overheard of this
arrangement between General Hirotada and General Yoshimoto.
Messenger: General Oda, we heard that General Hirotada is
surrending his son as a hostage to Sunpu. We must capture his son
before he is delivered to Sunpu.
(General Oda nodded his head as agreement )
( The Oda Clan had captured Ieyasu from his entourage who was
heading towards to Sunpu )
(Hirotada then arrives to meet Oda Nobuhide. With a fierce look, they
were having a debate on retrieving the captured Ieyasu back )
The leaders of Oda Clan and Imagawa Clan then arrives to Sunpu.
General Oda Nobuhide threatened to execute Ieyasu.
Oda Nobuhide: Your son Ieyasu is with me now. Unless you cut all ties
with the Imagawa Clan. Or else today will be the last time your son
sees dawn.

even if he is my beloved son.

and Nobunaga planned a siege upon the Takeda Clan
During the seige, General Takeda Shingen died due to serious illness.
In 1579, General Ieyasu’s wife was forced to be executed, and his son,
Matsudaira Nobuyasu, was forced to do the sepukku.
( Ieyasu’s wife is dragged by 2 general soldiers, out to nowhere. His son
performs the sepukku ceremony )
General Ieyasu’s then named his third son Tokugawa Hidetada as his
heir. On the other hand, Ieyasu’s second son was adopted by another
rising power, Toyotomi Hideyoshi.
( Flashback to the introduction and relation of Hideyoshi & Nobunaga )
One day in 1582, a messenger came for General Ieyasu who was in
Osaka.
( The messenger entered the room where General Ieyasu was having a
discussion with other generals )
The messenger: General Ieyasu, it is reported that Oda Nobunaga was
assassinated by Akechi Mitsuhide! ( Speaks in a fast breath )
( Ieyasu stands up immediately, and rushes out of the room )
General Ieyasu immediately rushes back but he was too late. Toyotomi
Hideyoshi had made his appearance and defeated Akechi Mitsuhide.

In 1583, General Hideyoshi and General Shibata was at war to rule over
Japan. But
Ieyasu did not participate in this war.
Shibata was defeated and Hideyoshi became the most powerful
Daimyo in Japan.
However, Ieyasu supports Oda Nobukatsu, Oda Nobunaga’s son, who
is against Hideyoshi.
A war then started on 1584, but Hideyoshi managed to settle the war
through a negotiation of peace with Oda Nobukatsu and had an
agreement with Ieyasu.
General Hideyoshi: What is the meaning of war? Why do we need to
sacrifice all the innocent people out there, and lose millions of assets?
Why can’t we discuss in a peaceful way, rather than fighting each
other. How do you feel, when you see blood flood roads and rivers?
( speaks in a broken hearted way )
( General Oda Nobukatsu agrees with Hideyoshi words )
Ieyasu and Hideyoshi made a deal.
General Hideyoshi: I’ll let you take control of 8 provinces, but in return,
you must let me control 5 of your provinces.
General Ieyasu: That’s a deal. ( Stares at him with a serious face )
That year, the 107th Emperor of Japan Emperor Go-Yozei gave
Hideyoshi the rank of Taiko, which was essential to increase his status
and effectively stabilise his power.
Emperor Go-Yozei: I, on behalf of the people of Japan, will now
announce you as the Taiko of Japan Empire.
In 1590, General Ieyasu reformed the provinces, control and pacify. He
subsequently improved the economy infrastructure of the land. After a
few years, Ieyasu became the second most powerful Daimyo in Japan.
( General Ieyasu discusses with other generals on a big table, with
specific plans and documents )
( Ieyasu stands on the top of a mountain, showing that he had
become a powerful person )
In 1593, Hideyoshi fathered a son, his heir Hideyori.
In 1598, Hideyoshi’s health was falling in an alarming rate. So he held a
meeting to choose the 5 councils, who will be responsible of the ruling
on behalf of his son. One of the councils was Ieyasu, who was the most
powerful among the 5 councils.
General Hideyoshi passed away in the same year. And his son,
Hideyori became the successor. And so the power was with the 5
regents.
50. CULTURE & CIVILISATION || FDES 0815 || PROJECT 2 : MESSAGES FROM THE PAST: JAPAN || FNBE0115/ AUG
Later on, Ieyasu became alliance with various Daimyo, with no heart
for Hideyori because he was envious of his high position.
General Ieyasu: I am not happy with his current status. What’s with all of
his policies that are being declare these days? That makes no sense!
I’m going to take down his position, his place. Whose with me?!
( The Generals all agree with his statement during the meeting )
General Ieyasu then led an army to Fushimi with his alliance and took
over the Hideyori’s residence.
Ishida Mitsunari helped Hideyori, but he was not one of the regents. He
plotted General
Ieyasu’s death but his plan was discovered by Ieyasu’s general. They
tried to kill Ishida.
Ishida fled and gained protection from Ieyasu despite his previous
intentions to kill him. General Ieyasu decided to protect him, rather
than having him lead Hideyori’s army.
In 1600, when it was the Edo period darkest era, the Battle of
Sekigahara had started. It ended with Tokugawa’s victory.
Ishida Mitsunari and the western nobes were captured and killed.
Ieyasu was in fact the ruler of Japan, and he redistributed the land.
On the other hand, Toyotomi Hideyori lost most of his territory which
most of it was under the management of the western Daimyo.
Hideyori then degraded to an ordinary daimyo and was no longer the
ruler of Japan.
In 1603, Ieyasu received the title of “ Seii Taishogun “ by Emperor Go-
Yozei.
General Ieyasu: I can see that you created and solidified the
Tokugawa Shogunate. You have done a great job, and contributed
greatly to the Empire of Japan. I now present you the title - Seii
Taishogun.
In order to unify the country, General Ieyasu gathered his men and had
one last battle to eliminate the remaining Toyotomi Clan in the Osaka
Castle.
General Ieyasu: For our empire, for the people! One last war that will
end everything and creates a remarkable moment for the empire of
Japan!!
( Cheers for the General )
Ieyasu succeeded and removed all the possible threats to his power.
He then step down from his position as a Shogun.
The Tokugawa Shogunate was dismayed by the bitter rivalry among
the few Europeans in Japan and the jealous work of the Catholic
Missionaries.

Europeans then reduced the foreign influence by expelling foreigners
and forbidding all Japan’s contact with the outside world, except for
the China and Korean because they are strictly controlled.
Dutch East India Company was also permitted to operate at the Port
Nagasaki. During that period of time, Japanese were forbidden to
travel and build ships.
Despite all these limitations, large quantities of ceramics and lacquer
were exported to Holland and sold to Europe. It was really popular in
European countries during the 17th and 18th Century.
Japan was fascinated by the exotic things of the Western country.
Japan has had a growing interest towards the western science and art.

SUMMARY OF THE SKETCH
The sketch that we will be acting out falls between the end of Azuchi
Momoyama Period and the whole Edo Period. The whole sketch will be
showing the first Shogun in the Tokugawa Shogunate (government system),
Tokugawa Ieyasu’s perspective and experience throughout these periods.
The reason why we chose to use Tokugawa Ieyasu’s point of view to walk
through the events and stories of these periods is because Ieyasu is one of the
key characters that plays a big part throughout these periods. Ieyasu’s
involvement in the story started off since he was a young boy. The sketch
starts off when Ieyasu was held hostage when he was only 6 years old, where
there were conflicts between clans. Ieyasu’s early life was surrounded with
danger, due to the war between the Imagawa Clan and Oda Clan. The story
progresses as you’ll see Ieyasu’s journey, as he grows up, and his meeting with
a few generals, like Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Takeda Shingen,
their relationship and how each individuals and interactions between them
gives an impact towards Japan.
Apart from that, Ieyasu is an intelligent, strong and powerful general. The
sketch shows how Ieyasu forms allies, expanding his territory, improving the
whole structure of the government system, strengthen his power and at last
unifying Japan. The sketch shows how Ieyasu use different tactics, planning,
and motives to achieve his goals, and eventually became one of the most
powerful Daimyo in Japan, getting the tittle of the first Shogun and
developing Japan into a more organized and constructed country. The
sketch clearly illustrates Tokugawa Ieyasu’s fighting spirit, perseverance and
journey from the very start till the end, only for one purpose, which is to bring
Japan together, to become as one.
