Step 1: Identify at least one significant bit of Japanese history for
each of the five Japanese periods.
1. Heian-
During this period families fought for power in Japan, some Japanese emperors ruled peacefully
while others were overthrown forcefully. When Kammu became emperor, he brought peace though
Buddhism. But he was no pacifist, he assembled an army to destroy the Jomon people.
2. Kamakura-
During the Kamakura Period, Battles were all throughout Japan. They started due to powerful
clans, governments, and the royal family waging wars against others. Due to the constant conflicts, over
decades the central monarchy began to weaken and as a result they lost control of the nation.
3. Ashikaga-
During the Ashikaga period, the shogun decided to split the imperial court into 2 rival groups to
bring stability to Japan. This proposal worked for a couple decades until Emperor Go-Daigo decided to take all
the power for himself, the system broke starting a civil war. After the second civil war, Go-Daigo was
overthrown and Ashikaga became leader of Japan.
4. Azuchi-Momoya-
The Azuchi-Momoyama was a period when persecution was encouraged towards
people practicing Christianity. And Christianity practice was prohibited. This period was a transition from
medieval times to the modern era. Trade flourished in this era and the Japanese tea ceremony grew.
5. Tokugawa-
The Tokugawa period consists of Constant wars; The most powerful shogun Nobunaga
defeated the Ashikaga daimyo but was later assassinated. This led to Hideyoshi taking over, he was a ruthless
dictator and tried to conquer China with his army but was defeated by the combined forces of Korean and
Chinese army. Though he failed he later tried to invade Korea which ultimately led to his death.
