Description

Explore a transformative era of Japanese history with this detailed study from Routledge. This book examines the period between 1185 and 1603, a time when the influence of emperors declined and local lords began to wage war for control. You will learn how the Minamoto clan established rule in 1191, shifting the nation toward a new social order. This text provides insight into the cultural and spiritual shifts that defined the age. It covers the rise of a culture rooted in hard work, respect for hierarchy, and a strong sense of duty and self-sacrifice. You can also discover how the introduction of Zen Buddhist doctrine provided mystical support to the samurai class, shaping the Japanese spirit during these centuries of transition. Ideal for readers interested in East Asian history, this volume offers a look at the social structures and changing power dynamics that moved Japan away from its Chinese-influenced court traditions and toward the era of the warrior class.
