EDO AND MEIJI JAPAN

WORLDVIEW

THE EDO PERIOD

The Edo period was a time of isolalation in Japan. The isolation led to many

factors. There was no exchange or warfare with foreign countries and no

influence from other countries regarding culture, knowledge or economy. For

the most part, Japan was a very peaceful place. There was a great development

of culture and economy during the Edo period. However there were several

conflicts as well along the way.

Culture

The Edo period was also a time where there was a great expansion in popular culture,

this included the formation of novels, films, animated works and stage plays. Haiku, a form

of poetry, was also introduced during the Edo period.

Social Systems

Society was very peaceful during the edo period but they had

little freedom due to the strict rules of japanese government.

How did beliefs, values and knowledge shape the

worldview of Japan between 1600 and 1900?

Political & Economic Systems

The Edo period was a time of a strong and independent economy

throughout Japan due to the long periods of stability & peace that was

created from not being influenced or conflicted by other nations.

Since Japan did not participate in trade with foreign countries, other than

China and the Dutch, most of Japan's money always went back into the country.

.

How did the existing ideas and knowledge, as well as the discovery of

new ideas and knowledge affect the worldview of Japanese society?

The Meiji Period

The arrival of Commodore Matthew Perry triggered the start of the Meiji period and the conclusion of Japans isolation. It also started the process of westernization. There were many major events thoughout the Meiji period including the Industrial Revolution, the signing of the 5 Charter Oath and the reigning of a new emperor.

Japan's culture changed with the arrival of Commodore Matthew Perry. As Japans society became more open, they gained influence of other countries values and their beliefs. Their culture was suddenly Westernized. Christianity was introduced at this time and the religions of Shinto & Buddhism were separated.

The Industrial revolution occured in the Meiji period, a main reason for this

was the employment of over 3000 foreign experts. It changed Japans economy from being

one based off of agriculture and land to one with a great importance of businesses.

Japan also switched their currency from rice to a more modern currency of yen.

Japans economic system began to resemble systems used in Europe at the time (Renaissance era). It wasn't until Commodore Perry's arrival in 1858 where he forced the Shogun governmentto allow trade.

The Shogun eventually lost power because of his inability to govern properly. Emperor

Meiji became Japans new ruler and helped to transform the country from isolated to open society.

Japan's social system underwent great changes with the arrival of Commodore Perry. When the charter of oath was granted the distinction between social classes was not so strong and those of the lower classes were given new rights. Women were also granted higher status.

How did contact with other groups affect

the worldview of Japanese society?

Perry's first visit to Japan was in 1853 where he made demands

to the Japanese, who rejected and forced him to leave. He later

returned in 1854 and after much negotiation the Japanese gave

in and signed the Treaty of Kanagawa

The arrival of Commodore Perry brought many things:

The Treaty of Kanagawa guaranteed that the Japanese would save

any shipwrecked Americans and provide them with food, water, coal

and other neccesities. It also allowed for American ships to be docked

in Japanese Ports.

Commodore Perry

Treaty of Kanagawa

The rulers in charge were the Shogun and the Bakufus. Japans

political system was a complex feudal system.

1615-1868

Unfortunately there was negative effects on the economy as well.

Peasants were overtaxed and Japan had little foreign trade, there

wasn't an abbundance of money or goods from other countries.

Japan closed its doors by preventing foreign trade,

prohibiting travel abroad and visitors from outside

and by abolishing Christianity.

During the Edo period there was a distinct social hierarchy

among the Japanese people. The social hierarchy consisted of

outcasts,women, merchants, artisans, peasants and samurai.

During the Edo period Japan's arts and culture flourished. The reason for this was that

there was no influence on these elements that were not strictly Japanese, as Japan was

isolated from the rest of the world.

Christianity did not exist in Japan at this time, Japan's religion consisted of confucianism,

buddhsim and Shinto.
