Japanese History of Edo period to Meiji Restoration(2/6)

[CMHippie]

I can appreciate learning about a proud people. I'm glad that the Japanese pushed Christianity out of the country. Power on to you, Japan!

[rayfob]

Chinese taught them all these

[Khronnus]

@rayfob China didn't teach them everything. But that's no different from England, or even america. Everything is borrowed from someone.

[DiamondChrome42]

200 churches then was mostly destroyed after all hell broke loose

[AFRIKTODAY]

I'm glad that the japs wacked off the Christians parasites. Religion is merely a tool of imperialism by a foreign church. All nations are away of the notion of the divine no cultureshal claim to convert another to the mystery of the divine!

[kazuwithtatsu]

@UnitedKorean Well, that is what you KOREANS thought. If there was such a remarkable civilization in Korea at that time, then this video would not have been made about Japan. You should be more respecful to other countries.

[funnystarchild]

7:50 Whats up with the music?? O_o

[TheCyprusX]

6:28

Lol it's ron jeremy

[Myobokuuzan]

Was it true that back then Europeans believed that if you bathed everyday, you're washing out the "good" from your body? I'm guessing since Europeans went for months on end without bathing, they must've developed a strong immunity to many diseases...

[tipsy700]

4:58 should be this is KenJUTSU

kendo is something they invented to open the art up to more people and create a way of competition,  kendo is something new,

no way the art of the sword is the same as kendo

[Amstrup77]

@tipsy700 kendo is very old actually... it was invented in time of peace during the time of tokugawa reign...

[Amstrup77]

@tipsy700 you have the terms confused...

-jutsu means technique... therefore a very diffuse term "sword technique". kenjutsu had many schools, that tought different jutsu's.

so jutsu is a very practical term

-do means "the way of ...." so it is more spiritual term, aswell as a code of "how topractice your xxxxx-jutsu".

kendo is "the way of the sword", and the way of the sword is a part of "bushido" which means "the way of the warrior/samurai".

musashi was one of those who helped define bushido

[Amstrup77]

hagekure was a book that defined bushido.

[nishunaruto]

i luv japan... n europeans no bath 4 months lol

[deathscythekim729]

i don't know but japan and other asian countries have more respect to themselves, about their culture...not arrogant fools

[DtorBill]

@Japanbuster Here ridiculous little flower... for example

[AkibakeiRiE]

@Japanbuster wait....... Oh.... You KOREAN......

[ShaneyElderberry]

I love how this video misinforms it's audience into thinking that Ieyasu Tokugawa somehow studied the 5 rings, when it was written shortly before Miyamoto Musashi was on his death bed - in 1645, when ieyasu died in 1616. History FAIL!

[suchimisan]

no, no history only 2000 years..........

[hungseki1]

korean always show up to japanese related vids and claim, its ours!

probably the most inferior creatures on earth.

[sakurasakura2424]

日本の文化は独自の物と中華文明が混ざり合った物だ。韓国は何の­関係も無いわ。

嘘ばかりつくな。劣等民族め！

[dhksrksalem]

@sakurasakura2424 you crazy? if you want to be respected at first you respect other people

[Omega231984]

what happened to you history channel i used to love watching you:( now all you play is non-history related programming :( (hint...hint)

[eidius1989]

little kids got bored so they had to spell it out for them

[Omega231984]

I guess this is what happens when the nation suddenly turns ignorant, we become too dumb for the high tech jobs that we have to ship overseas so that Americans can go to Hollywood to become a rock star, and then we they run out of money and then we just bum off of social security and credit card companies that lead to our own economic destruction that we now face, I guess we really are culturally bankrupt

[Omega231984]

Good job America, you just helped screw yourselves 30 times fold

[bigpaul420er]

stay the fuck in europe dirty europeans

[VictoriaKrueger1428]

Japan is so amazing, its magical and mysterious. The language is amazing too. I did a presenation about Japan for college worked really hard and did alot of research.........too bad hardly anyone but my tutor and my friends listened :(

[VictoriaKrueger1428]

First of all what have you been smoking? Second I don't just like Japan okay I like all Asian countries I just decided I was going to do a presentation about Japan what is it against the law now? and secondly what does me being a European have anything to do with it? I said before it is so mysterious and beautiful and anyway I don't think "oh Japan is SO better than China!" "Japan is fair superior than anyother country" No country is the best, all countries should work together not wage war.

[magma3000]

to tell the truth

I think Japan is better than China

I only like China because of their food, and their history, like Zhao Yun the Dragon Warrior, Guan Gong Yu Yun Chang the GOD OF WAR of China. Lu Bu the strongest warrior in China.

And hearing about the Chinese fighting and forcing my people, the Hmong Empire out of China during 300 B.C. which is no longer a Chinese History Secret

China is so boring now. No Rock music especially VISUAL KEI from Japan. I rather go to Japan, more freedom

[veridia]

China has it's own unique qualities that make it interesting. It has a rich history of philosophers, religious influences and cultural qualities.

[DtorBill]

@VictoriaKrueger1428 Japan is not better than any other country; although Japan has been working since the first days of its history to be the most developed country. I love China, Taiwan, Thailand and Japan, really :) And I wish to see ASEAN someday.

[magma3000]

agreed

i hate it when people on youtube say that Spartans are stronger than Samurais even though they don't even know about the difference of the timeline

[magma3000]

i feel the pain

you also can't forget about how amazing are Japanese Rock Bands called VISUAL KEI :D

[dur4ce11bunny]

Don't worry. You'll get further with an open mind. Keep learning and listening!

[ihateyoujerkoff]

@VictoriaKrueger1428 i think they hated it as it was shit. japan is bankrupt, with stupid old customs that hinder development and economic responsibility. you should have made a presentation on why japan has the highest national debt of any nation and is losing its tax base daily ! go hide under a rock asshole. oh, my mum is jap and i live in japan.

[Alucardthedeadone]

@ihateyoujerkoff USA debt is bigger then Japan

[Amstrup77]

@Alucardthedeadone ye USA owe japan and china money atm..

[Khronnus]

@Amstrup77 Yeah. And now look at the US money.

[EpiDemic117]

@ihateyoujerkoff Umad bro?

[grantourismo0109]

@VictoriaKrueger1428

I can understand how u feel

I studied japanese, and its history and culture

but usually people do not even bothered aboout listen to my story

and they often have strong stereo type impression

[vea210]

you really helped me a lot for my school project about Japan... Thanks so much! =)

[Hikarij]

[wieslas]
