In this captivating video, we delve into the historical intricacies of 894 AD, a pivotal year in Japanese history. The focus is on Sugawara no Michizane's influential role in abolishing the Japanese missions to Tang China, a significant shift that opened doors for direct trade with merchants from the Tang Dynasty and Silla. This move set the stage for a series of profound political changes in Japan.
The video explores the transition of power from Emperor Uda to Emperor Daigo, highlighting the end of regency and the appointment of Sugawara no Michizane and Fujiwara no Tokihira as Right and Left Ministers, respectively. This period marks a power struggle between supporters of the retired Emperor Uda, including Sugawara no Michizane, and those backing Emperor Daigo, led by Fujiwara no Tokihira.
The narrative then shifts to the escalating tensions between these factions, culminating in the Shohei Incident, where Sugawara no Michizane was exiled to Dazaifu. This event, known as the Shohei Change, signified the fourth instance of the Fujiwara clan's political dominance in central Japan during the early Heian period.
The video also covers the reign of Emperor Daigo, particularly focusing on his significant contributions like the compilation of the Engishiki laws, the Kokin Wakashu, and the reform of the land distribution system. It discusses the shift from the Ritsuryo system to the Handen-Shuju system, highlighting the challenges and eventual collapse of the old land and census systems.
Furthermore, the video delves into the rise of the samurai class, the loss of faith in the imperial court among peasants, and the gradual shift towards a land-tax system. It concludes with the emergence of powerful landowners and the establishment of the Myoden system, setting the stage for the rise of the warrior class in Japan.
