History of Japan, preview series

Feudal Japan, in those two words, you generally think of the samurai, those ninjas, the idea of zen, yin and yang, but there is a larger spectrum of historical wealth that derives from this small island country, that of which we call "The Empire of the Sun".

Some topics that will be discussed include, but are more definitive to, the Asuka Period, Meiji Restoration, Buddhism in the east, the rise of Shintoism, as well as the rise and fall of the noble class and Clans of Japan. Also to be aforementioned should be Confucianism and the Chinese invasions along with Miyamoto Masushi, and lastly, the ways of the Samurai, and how it effects the outcomes of Japan as a whole.
