Which period of Japanese history is your favorite and why? Which historical figure do you find most interesting?
jesus
Oda Nobunaga
It's hard to tell. The most obvious answer is Sengoku, but recently I've been leaning more towards the Meiji. The rapid changes, clash, and mixing of modernity and tradition.
It's even more interesting when you focus on the North of Japan - Hokkaido (Ezo) and even southern Sakhalin/Karafuto. The frontier feel, Ainu culture still alive and kicking, the short-lived Ezo Republic being a very interesting project, Russian-Japanese connections, and related to them some surprising connections between Japan and my country - Poland (google Bronisław Piłsudski for example).
It's even harder to pick the most interesting historical figure, partially because I feel that I know too little about too few to make this choice.
Tokugawa 'cause age of empires 3
Kitabatake Chikafusa
I find it fascinating that in Japanese history nobody ever sought to unseat and replace the emperor, as people would in every other part of the world, but instead usurped all the powers from the emperor while maintaining the pretence of being loyal to them. Like you say, theirs is the longest lasting royal dynasty in history.
Yes this has a lot in common with the Egyptian way of viewing the pharaoh as a link to the gods and therefore not directly attempting to usurp power from him I know that this happened a few times in Egyptian history but even so for the majority of the 3000 years that their empire lasted the pharaoh died of natural causes just like The Japanese emperors
Egypt is the longest lasting Royal dynasty
I suppose it served no purpose to usurp total control of the imperial family as well as the warrior class even if one held great power.
The only man who did "unseat" an emperor so to speak was Ashikaga Takauji and this resulted in the Northern and Southern court periods until the 3rd Shogun, Yoshimistu basically nullified the Southern court as a serious threat.
@@5aturnia there are many Egyptian dynasties
Yeah not usurped the emperor but the emperor just died from sickness or "accident". It's bs if they never remove or change the emperor. History are written by the winner
4:50 *Mongols*: We've invaded China. Please respect us, or we might invade you as well.
*Japanese*: [draw swords] Okay. So the Mongols came over, ready for war, and then died in a tornado. They tried again, and had a nice time fighting with the Japanese, but then died in a tornado.

Actually, a typhoon.
It's called kamikaze. It is said that Japanese empire was protected by the god.
Japan is an island by the sea filled with volcanoes and it's ♪♫ beautiful ♫♪.
IN THE YEAR NEGATIVE A BILLION
japan may have not been here...
In the year negative -40,000 japan may have been here.
...and you could walk to it, and some people walked to it..
Then it got warmer, some icebergs melted, and now it became an island, and now there’s lots of TREEEEEEEEEEEEES!
Because it’s warmer.
So now there's people on the island they're basically sort of hanging out in between the mountains eating nuts off trees and using the latest technology like stones and bowls
Knock knock, it’s the United States.
With huge boats. With guns.
Gunboats ♫
“Open the country.”
“Stop having it closed.”
Said the United States.
And they show them mini steam engine, and japanese say holly shit!!!!
"There is nothing they can do, so they signed a contract to let United states, Great Britain and Russia to visit Japan, anytime they want."
In hindsight, it was a pretty horrible idea. After all, the Japanese figured that they wanted their own huge boats with guns as well. and we all know how that ended. Space Battleship Yamato 2199 ;)
Also Red alert 3
Excellent! Been waiting for you to do Japan :). I've learned much from your videos. It must be hard deciding what info to include and what to cut. And thank you so much for the shoutout!
OH IT’S YOU! I’m a big fan!
The only thing I noticed he missed was the Hōjō Clan's regency over the Kamakura Shogunate. amazing video though.
OMG!!!!!!!
Yep, it seems no matter where you go, when ever Japanese history is mentioned Bill Wurtz fans are sure to follow. Not that thats a bad thing.

Yes but specifically Jin Sakai and his followers defeated the Mongols. Legends say he was sporting the Fundoshi armor with the Ivory of Woe Mask.
I enjoy your pace and compression of the information. Thank you kind sir.
This is a really good and concise overview of Japanese history.
The Japanese learned of firearms through Europeans but they would largely manufacture their own based on two models from the Portuguese. Oda did not buy in bulk from them.
I always enjoyed your videos. Thanks.
6:40 “Knock Knock, it’s the United States”

Epimetheus Excellent, I have studied Japan and those time periods most of my life.. I truly enjoyed it.. I still enjoy your art work.. At times it's a LOL other times interesting.. Once again.. you out did yourself..
I recently just started my journey a week ago. I'm obsessed with alot samurai history but want to know more of japanese history to understand samurai history better. Wish I had gotten into it when I was younger. I'm almost 18 lol dropped out of highschool in my second year, did no education or learn anything, got no qualifications or achievements, no job, yet I'm just finding out what I like to do (study/learn). I don't know much but I hope to learn alot. :)

Thanks Cyrus!
Epimetheus My pleasures, my friend.
Chinese culture influence most Asian country! China has a great history
I am Japanese. We will tell you the latest archeology.The latest research shows that rice farming was not in the Yayoi period but was already in Japan. Rice was discovered from a pottery 16000 years ago, and a rice paddy 5000 years ago was discovered. In other words, rather than the rice cultivated being transmitted from the continent, it would be the established theory to move to the theory that rice cultivated from Japan to the continent!
Interesting
Japan's archeology and history have a lot of fakes and lies.

I’m Filipino and japans history ( except ww2 ) really fascinates me.
Please do a video on samurai technology and how they compared to others around the world at the time and how they beat the Mongolians
The Ainu are a mixture of Okhotsk people and Jomon Japanese.
The Yayoi are the Jomon of the western regions. The only difference is culture.
It is wrong to confuse the Yayoi people with the people who came to Japan.
The Ainu aren't even mentioned in this video. That is unfortunate. It is also sad that the Ainu often don't get treated as Japanese despite all of the evidence that they are Japanese.

Kudos to you for not turning your video into a Bill Wurtz reference. While I love his videos, it's nice to see someone do a proper history video on Japan post Bill Wurtz.
blitzwaffe but bill wurtz is the best man to ever be born in the late 20th century
4:50 wait a second, one of those invasions (the one in 1281) was mostly won because of a typhoon that wiped out all of the Mongolian ships before they could reach the shore. So I’d say that Japan was able to muster and organize to defeat 1 Mongolian attack. Mother Nature gets credit for the other one.
it's the kamikaze's!
It's spelt Daimyo, otherwise a fantastic video, great work!
There are a few other typos in there and some rather poor pronunciations. Japanese is rather consistent with how it's pronounced in relation to how it's spelled. The main hiccups involve dealing with those pesky silent "i" and "u" instances
Never underestimate Anime And Manga
All of Japan's history was necessary in order to achieve the Super Mario Brothers videogame, best in the galaxy.
Hello, I am a major of East Asian Studies with a minor in history. I just have a simple correction, one thing to note about the Imjin War or the Korea-Japan War of 1592-1598 is that at its conclusion, it was not merely a “cease” or abandonment in invasion. It was a total retreat for the Japanese because they were utterly defeated by the Korean Navy and the Korean Ground Forces. The Japanese stuck in a defensive and retreating position were fearful for their lives and wondered if they could go back to Japan again because they were utterly surrounded by the Koreans and the Korean court did not want to let Japan to just withdraw its troops like that, so the battle of Noryang happened in 1598 where 3/4s of the Japanese fleet of 500 trying to break the Korean blockade were decimated by the Korean Navy led by Yi Sun-shin during the battle of Noryang which was the largest naval battle in recorded history.
3:54 lol the message you got.
For Zelda fans the Jomon period looks very familiar
Oh. You skipped the Japanese-Korean War of 1592-98.
Leopold where admiral yi, turtle boats and ming reinforcements wiped the Japanese navy out👍
Daeseong Kim Oh yeah. Possibly one of manliest men in history. Fucking Yi Sun Sin. Right up there with Leonidas, Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, Charles Martel, Rodrigo of Vivar, Ghengis Khan, John Sobieski, Frederick of Prussia, Guan Yu, and Ivan the Terrible.
Leopold He mentioned it though.
Sir Devil Yeah, but it wasn't shown where it happened in Korea. And it didn't specify what date it happend in.
Leopold don't be gay . He wasn't shit
the emperors barely ever actually seemed to rule
Ironically Japan has the longest monarchy in the world lol.
Its like the modern UK monarcy. More of a single position for the people to look in awe at with all the real power given to others like the Shoguns.
Pretty much once the samurai rose to prominence the emperor had little to no power. Even before that, aristocratic families like the soga and fujiwara dominated the Japanese imperial court
In earlier times the emperors and empresses were both the central power of the land and shamans who oversaw religious functions. But sadly there was no written language when this was more common and all we have are Chinese Wu dynasty records
It is the era of the Greater East Asia prosperity region, which contributed to the independence of Asia.

Dude no matter how good this video is this video can never go viral cause bill wurtz
0:04 OMG someone used blue and green to tell land masses and water n some stupid black and red or grey n orange makes a huge difference
Solid breakdown!
The latest scientific research shows that Japanese rice cultivation began in the Jomon period about 7000 years ago.
Therefore, it is wrong to explain that rice cultivation was reported by Korea during the Yayoi period.
Also, before BC, Japan made a nation called Baekje in Korea. This is clarified by the fact that a number of Japanese-style front and back buds have been discovered in Korea.
There's something amusing about the "(all periods of Japanese history documentary)" in the title. The reason it amuses me is because it's necessary since all other Japan documentaries skip straight to the Sengoku Jidai and some of them even skip that.
you put kyoto on the map where Osaka is...
Awesome, as always Epimetheua. Nice video, good important facts.
3:52 did you hear his phone go off? lol
That Black and White picture at the end noting the US Occypation of japan is quite famous.
To the right is the Emperor of Japan and next to him is a US Officer, the picture was intended for distribution among the japanese population to prove to everyone that their emperor was just a man, and not a god.
Yep! The officer in question is general Douglas McArthur himself, who at this time practically personally ruled Japan.
Someone sounds like they don't know what "culture" is
well US do have their own culture which a lot of countries copy from them. and morals is depend on individual.
@@wakakabravo7998 A lot of countries copy their culture from America?
Sure many parts of the culture are inherited, but most of American culture is also inherited from Europe.
America doesn't even have its own language, it speaks a foreign language (English).
So I'd say it's unfair to say that countries simply copy American culture, as if they have no culture of their own. It goes both ways.
ash fullen , Dance culture like disco, hip hop, popping, and swing, or music culture like jazz, raping, rock and roll, and blues or, fashion culture like blue jeans, bell bottom, cow boy hat, and t shirt are pop culture that really popular and have been practicing by people around the world no matter what generation you come from. Did u know where this culture come from ? yes from America. They produce more pop culture then other countries. We don’t see it as culture from US because this culture have spread all around the globe and we get used to it. Just because US use English as their communication language that doesn’t mean it have no culture. English in America have their own dialect even for each state. Some of the words have different meaning between America and british english and different spelling for the same word. Lot of countries are like that such as brazil, mexico, Singapore, Haiti and so on. Will u say they don’t have culture too since they don’t have original language ? So I'd say it's unfair to say that America as a countries simply don’t have their culture. It goes both ways.

6:39 isnt this the episode in samurai champloo where they play baseball against americans?
I understand that, why the person who made this video can not fully express the war Korea-Japan between 1592 and 1598. The reason is that the contents of Japanese history, which is prevalent in the West, have been greatly reduced. That war such as the Asian version of the 100-year war, is very important. Simply, Joseon won the naval battle and Ming won the land battle. However, this is to say the opposite, joseon lost the land war and ming had no navy to send.
After the war, Joseon stuck austerity measures to overcome economy crises, so abandoned the Goryeo's tradition and moved on to modern times from the Middle Ages. The Ming Dynasty, even collapsed and changed to the Qing Dynasty. However, as of this time, Japan had its presence in Northeast Asia for the first time in thousands of years, and moved its capital to Tokyo exactly two years after the defeat. In modern Japanese history book, they try to reduce the content by focusing only on the result of defeat. While, There is nothing to be ashamed of because it is one of the most important historical points in Northeast Asia and has gained as much as Japan lost. You must learn.

Where is the Portuguese , Spanish and Dutch in this history, they reached japan with guns and caravels
Only briefly mentioned as the "European merchants" Nobunaga bought guns from...Fitting everything into eight minutes, just focused on the big picture. Primarily the Portuguese and Dutch acted as merchants...Jesuit missionaries(later expelled)
The Spanish had very minimal contact, mostly through the Portuguese merchants during Iberian union.
Only mentioned there most lasting impact which was gun powder.
