Home About Us Search Back to Japan Japan's History and Background It is generally believed that Japan was founded in 660 BC, with the first emperor, Jimmu. After ascending the throne and ruling over Kyushu, Emperor Jimmu expanded his empire northward to Yamato. During this time, Korea's influence on Japan's culture was considerable. Korea had made great strides in their culture, significantly influenced by China, and these influences were passed on to Japan. By the 5th century with the help of the Paekche kingdom in Korea, Chinese writings were beginning to be used in court and around 430, historiographers were appointed in an effort to keep accurate records. Buddhism, along with its priests, images, scriptures, etc., was brought to Japan during this time from Korea as well, which made a noteworthy impact on Japan. Although the relationship between Korea and Japan was weakening, Buddhism was firmly entrenched in Japan's culture, with it becoming the national religion by the 7th century. More...

Home About Us Search Summary of Japan's History ... Japan's Main Page Japan's History Using China's centralized government as a model, Japan drafted their first constitution, which established court officials on a hierarchy. In 710, Nara became the capital and in 794 the imperial residence was moved to Kyoto and remained the capital until 1868. The 9th century brought about change with the emperors becoming private, disappearing from public life, and leaving governmental affairs with those under them. It was during this time that the Fujiwara, the main aristocratic family, essentially became the leaders of Japan. In 858 they took power and kept it for three centuries. The period under Michinaga, considered to be the supreme Fujiwara leader, is considered to be Japanese literature's "classical age." It also brought about a change from centralized government to one of dividing up the country into great estates. Initially joining together for protection, warriors from the Taira and the Minamoto clans eventually gained recognition for the military abilities (the Taira in the southwest and the Minamoto in the east). When these clans started broaden their power to the court, a power struggle began. After two wars, the first in 1156 and the second in 1159-60, the Minamoto were defeated by the Taira who then took control from the Fujiwara. In 1180, the same year the Taira leader's infant son became emperor, the Minamoto's led an revolt that sent the Taira out of the capital. The war ended in 1185 and Yorimoto, the Minamoto leader, became Japan's leader.

Computer History of Japan's Literature This page is based on Japan: A Pocket Guide, 1996 Edition (Foreign Press Center) Performing art Fine art Literature Nara Period Japanese literature traces its beginnings to oral traditions that were first recorded in written form in the early eighth century after a writing system was introduced from China. The Kojiki (Record of Ancient Matters) and Nihon shoki (Chronicle of Japan) were completed in 712 and 720, respectively, as government projects. The former is an anthology of myths, legends, and other stories, while the latter is a chronological record of history. The Fudoki (Records of Wind and Earth), compiled by provincial officials beginning in 713, describe the history, geography, products, and folklore of the various provinces. The most brilliant literary product of this period was the Man'yoshu (Collection of Ten Thousand Leaves), an anthology of 4,500 poems composed by people ranging from unknown commoners to emperors and compiled around 759. Already emerging was a verse form comprising 31 syllables (5-7-5-7-7) known as tanka. In 905 the Kokin wakashu or Kokinshu (Collection of Poems from Ancient and Modern Times) was published as the first poetry anthology commissioned by an emperor; its preface paid high tribute to the vast possibilities of literature.

Both China and South Korea say the text books distort the reality of Japan's involvement in their countries during the 20th Century. South Korean spokesman Park Joong-young quoted the president as saying: "It would not be of help to either South Korea or Japan for Japan to teach its people distorted history. "The government will keep demanding that Japan corrects the problematic books because that is the only way the two countries can forget about the past and forge a forward-looking, co-operative relationship." Bitter The row is a personal setback for the president, who pledged to improve ties with rival Japan soon after taking office in 1998. Many Koreans still harbour bitter feelings towards Japan, which occupied the country for 35 years.
