Warm Up #12 • Compare and contrast the codes of Bushido and Chivalry.
Unification and Isolation in Japan How did isolation effect Japan?
I. Breakdown of the Feudal State • In the 1400’s, the Shoguns had largely lost their power as rulers of Japan. • The Daimyo each ruled over their territory, collecting taxes and making laws
II. Unification • Oda Nobunaga • OdaNobunaga was the Daimyo in the Owari province of Japan. • He was known to be unstable and was nicknamed “The fool of Owari”
B. Battle of Okehazama • In 1560 AD, Nobunaga led a force of 3,000 against a rival’s army of 25,000 at Okehazama. • He set up an army made of straw men and spare helmets as a decoy then rushed his army around the back of his enemy, charging in and defeating them before they knew what had hit them.
C. Victory over the Takeda clan • In 1575 AD, Nobunaga equipped his army with Arquebus’ purchased from the Portuguese and defeated his last major rival in Japan, the Takeda clan • At this point Japan was effectively under his control
D. Betrayal and Death • In 1582 AD, Nobunaga was betrayed by one of his generals who ambushed him at the temple of Honnō-ji • Knowing that his situation was hopeless, Nobunaga committed Seppuku
III. Tokugawa Ieyasu • Background • In 1603 AD the emperor of Japan made Tokugawa Ieyasu shogun of Japan • He ruled from his capital of Edo (modern day Tokyo) • His family would rule Japan until 1868 AD
B. Isolation • In the 1630s, the Tokugawa shogun initiated a policy of isolationism in Japan • They also banned firearms, fearing the rise of a large peasant army (this kept their military development behind). • This helped extend the samurai period in Japan into the 1800s
