Foreigners who talk about Japanese history want to persist Tokyo and Kyoto, while don't mention Osaka at all. Osaka is the first capital to be called Japan, and even now Japan's natural leading city, despite a large amount of capital stolen by Tokyo. Edo is just newly artifical city. Those who enumerate about Prince Shotoku, Yukichi Fukuzawa, and Osamu Tezuka don't definitely want to refer to Osaka their hometown. This is plots of Tokyo hype.

The only thing is that “Ancient” literally represent Before Common Era or B.C… thus Japan was never “ancient” as the chronicle starts around 700 A.D., it’s like stating “ancient” England (as England is also not “ancient”) It would refer to an entirely different culture. So there is/are: Ancient Rome Ancient China Ancient Egypt but not Ancient Japan or Ancient England

The title of "barbarian nation" was given by default by the Chinese to all other nations. Every nation outside of China had a specific "barbarian" term to be referred to that varied according to the location, hence, the Japanese belonged to the category of "eastern barbarians" ("dong-yi" 東夷).

Btw, Hojo Tokimune is from the Hojo clan not the Tokimune house. Unlike western names, Korean and Japanese surnames are said first and then their personal name afterwards. You honor your clan and family before yourself, so his formal name is Hojo Tokimune, but when referring to Tokimune himself or if a casual friend calls his name you say Tokimune. Takeda Shingen's son was still named Takeda Katsuyori.

@sara.cbc92 8 месяцев назад

The placement of surname is a Chinese tradition that was imitated by the Koreans and Japanese. Infact, Koreans had no surnames like most uncivilized Tungus tribes at the time. They adopted Han Chinese surnames like Lee, Hwang, Jung Yuen etc.

Clearly, the writing staff were not aware of the Japanese language or they would have caught that and the other pronunciation flaws. Japanese has no emphasis on syllables (with a very few and rare exceptions), but those were given to placenames and personal names.

He actually covered the first millennia CE comprehensively for a grand history video, rather than mostly glossing over it as most other English sources do. In many ways I find Japan's formulative years more interesting than the last 500 years, it started from the mythic rise of the Yamato, and ends in the 900s with a Japan we westerners would find familiar, with rebel Samurai, warrior monks and saucy pillow books.

Apparently there's no actual archeological evidence of servants being buried with Himiko. The idea that there were came from Chinese documents that saw the burial mounds that looked just like the ones used in China where they did do this so they probably assumed it was the same. But archeologists who have searched the ones in Japan have found no evidence of this being done in Japan. However, Himiko's mound has never been found so it's possible that it was done just this once since she was so important, or the Chinese documents just made an assumption. This is what I learned in university anyway.

Omg, putting studio produced tv and movie documentaries to shame with this. The production value is excellent

Thank you. You've done more in one hour to explain/narrate the history of Japan for me, the country, culture and history than 10 years of ineffectual, half hearted study has done! Also, plenty of jumping off points for further study. Really, an excellent piece

An absolutely wonderful 1 hour 17 , thankyou so much for this.. In my uneducated opinion your channel is utterly unblemished. The best RU-vid content I've experienced. Keep up the solid work lads..

History major here! I studied Empire, and rhe ways that empires perform Othering to maintain legitimacy. Studied many Empires, but came to love japanese history the most. Wrote many extensive papers about Ainu peoples interaction with Yamato and/or Yayoi peoples. Thanks for performing this in such a beautiful prose. It's generally information I knew, but presented in such a beautiful way that it still taught me perspective and richness to a history I feel I know as my own.

Realizing the sensitivity of intellectual property can your papers be found on line?

@brianmessemer2973 Год назад

That's right. Even if the viewer already knew the facts or the information, it was the stunningly beautiful and compelling presentation of that information in a single narrative that really impacted me deeply. What a moving work!

Nice, understated use of "Senbonzakura" as background music in the section on the shōgun (1184). Good, solid narration, even when struggling with the pronunciation of Japanese names.

So beautiful, love how many times mythology touched reality, Japan truly is a land of magic

@Bogancharisma 7 месяцев назад

Perhaps you should travel to China or South Korea, the magic started there and then moved to Japan through South Korea..

This was outstanding, what an excellent way to take history and turn it into something that we can sink our teeth into emotionally.

I understand sometimes our species have an unquenchable appetite for exploration, but I cannot understand why that would extend to crawling into the tightest of places. Another fascinating video. I love your voice & the background music really adds to the suspense.

That’s an easy one; It reminds us of when we were in the womb. A more a difficult one I propose: Why do some people like eating their own forced and drinking their own urine? Where did that come from? That has never been an okay behavior at any point in human history. So why have so many people done it in the past, and why do they keep eating and drinking it to this day?

This is my great grandma's history. I never knew this stuff, only what she or my grandma would tell me. Now, older, i have a thousand questions. Ill see them at my passing.❤

I LOVE JOMON POTTERY which vessels are the oldest in the world! And Dogū are also well designed. There are still some ancient tombs in Japan where excavation is prohibited. It's a mystery. And, actually, the latest research shows that rice cultivation began in the Jomon period.
