The seeds of Japan\u2019s emergence to global prominence were planted during the Edo period, which spanned from 1600 to 1868. This seminar traces Japan\u2019s transformation during this remarkable rule of the Tokugawa shoguns, also known as the Edo period. Our course will explore the numerous aspects of this time including: the end of the warring states period and unification under the last shogunate rule; urban and village life; art and religion; economic policies and the Imperial House; the state\u2019s foreign policy and the U.S. role in bringing Edo Japan to an end.<\/p>\n
