TRANSCRIPT

Tokugawa JapanSamurai & the Rise & Fall of the Tokugawa Shogunate (Dynasty)

CHAPTER 26 – pages 585 - 592

Watch this short clip of the great Samurai

War Epic by Akira Kurosawa entitled:

RAN(Japanese & Chinese for “rebellion”)

Kurosowa is famous for taking the stories from famous European

Knight Epics and replacing the Knights and Lords with their

Japanese Feudal counterparts. He simply makes a Lord, Count, or

Duke into a Daiymo, and the Knights become Samurai. In RAN he

adapts the famous story of a father and his three sons’ betrayals

written by William Shakespeare in the play, King Lear. It is perfect

to show the period called “The Country at War” in which treachery

was common and loyalty was for sale. Even Tokugawa Ieyasu used

trickery to win control of Japan in his decisive battle in 1600 C.E.

Recall what have your studies covered about medieval Japan?

…and what can you now tell me about this “Samurai Society”?

Wiggle your desks over to your Elbow Partner

Together produce a written notebook list to share (groups leaders can confirm correct page # ):

AT LEAST 5

vocabulary words OR…

facts about Medieval Japan

(circa 500 CE – 1599 CE)

Monday – Tuesday OBJECTIVE: Construct a flow chart (graphic or a bulleted text outline) to describe the

effects of Japanese isolation during the Tokugawa Shogunate had on its culture and interaction in world

affairs after it is eventually forced open by the United States.

Japanese Culture

A Feudal Society

Tokugawa Shogunate - 1600

Bakufu (Tent) Government

Japanese have a strictly structured society with

virtually zero chance of changing your station at

birth. Once in control, the Tokugawa Clan closes

off the island and stops all chances of change to

the country of Japan.

How is it different from European Feudalism?

How is it compared to Chinese Society under Ming?

Each ruler consolidates

more of Japan.

What is the Tokugawa Clan

attempting to accomplish

with these new laws?

How does it benefit them?

The Floating Worlds of Japan

Geisha sell a moving piece of art, their elucidated

conversation skills, and their music and dancing.

Geisha and Teahouses offer a glimpse at a world of

Beauty reinforced by Buddhist and Shinto beliefs.

Write notes of what skills the geisha in the movie

clip have developed to entice financial support.

Mr. Bersick is turning Japanese…

“I really think so…”

“Gunboat Diplomacy” - Commodore Perry forces Japan to trade

The effect of Gunboat

Diplomacy is not forgotten

by Japan and later becomes

a preferred style of

international diplomacy and

policy by the Japanese.

Treaties forged by cannon

fire! This rapid militarization

on an industrial scale leads

to a thirst for natural

resources and expansionistic

policies by the Japanese

which leads to USA defeat at

Pearl Harbor and our

entrance into a World War to

settle Pacific supremacy

Change Over Time: Japan

ELBOW PARTNERS!

I. Does this island country, this “Secret Empire”, benefit from the 250 years of complete

isolation from all outside influence and the creation of their utopian society?

II. What is the other country and empire we recently discussed in this region of the world

that instituted an isolationist policy? How well did it work for them?

Samurai are “overthrown” to restore Emperor

Emperor Meiji (Enlightened Ruler) modernizes

Carrying Swords is outlawed

Foreign professionals are hired to modernize military, industry, transport, architecture, politics

Traditional roles in society are abolished – Japan becomes “classless” society – social mobility possible

Some Samurai oppose modernization and stage rebellion – Wednesday we watch Hollywood’s rendition

All males required to serve in military

Samurai code of BUSHIDO taught to common soldiers – leads to merciless warfare tactics – KAMAKAZI

Citizens must swear Oath of Fealty to Emperor and Imperial Japan – life is in service of country

1000 years of warrior supremacy leaves cultural mark – international interactions are usually violent

Expansionistic policy is based on Nationalistic and cultural superiority views fueled by need for resources

Satsuma Rebellion - Battle of Shiroyama

The Battle of Shiroyama was the final engagement of the Satsuma

Rebellion (1877) between the Imperial Japanese Army and the few

remaining samurai who were left from the original 4,000 who

rebelled against the government. They were opposed to any

reforms that were destroying the traditional culture of Japan.

Hollywood drew upon the events in

“The Last Samurai”

Samurai Imperial Army

Saigo Takamori General Yamagata Aritomo

350-400 men 30,000 men

Watch this dramatic recreation of the

Battle of Shiroyama!!

Compare it to what you see

Hollywood deliver in the final scenes:

“The Last Samurai”

Testing the Waters…

Main military focus is on NAVAL POWER (Japan is an island, right?? What other island country is Naval Power?)

Japan tests its military against Qing China in 1894 in Korea and wins (Friday’s lesson)!

Korea becomes Japanese controlled puppet state and staging ground for invasion of Manchuria

Invasion of Manchuria incites war with European power – Czarist Russia

Russian loss leads to civilian unrest and series of revolutions – NEXT WEEK!!

Russo – Japanese War proves Japan is a POWER!

We stand in Tokyo today reminiscent of our countryman,

Commodore Perry, ninety-two years ago. His purpose was

to bring to Japan an era of enlightenment and progress,

by lifting the veil of isolation to the friendship, trade and

commerce of the world. But alas, the knowledge thereby

gained of Western science was forged into an instrument

of oppression and human enslavement

On September 2, 1945 the Japanese and American delegates met on the deck

of the U.S.S. Missouri as it anchored in Tokyo Bay for the ceremony ending

the war. At this ceremony, General Douglas MacArthur evoked Perry's name in

his speech:
