Retell Japanese history in an epic way. Reshape the legends of the Warring States, Meiji, Taisho, and Showa eras through a modern lens.
Delve into the era of Emperor Murakami, uncovering the "Tenryaku no Chi." This video elaborates on the intricate power shifts within Japanese society during this time, where public confidence in the imperial court currency waned, and Chinese copper coins became the mainstream currency. Witness how Fujiwara no Saneyori expanded his influence, advocating for the restoration of the Sekkan regime, while Minamoto no Toshimitsu consolidated forces supporting imperial rule, engaging in political struggles against the Fujiwara clan.
The video also sheds light on the An'ei no Hen, marking the final significant exclusion of other clans by the Northern Fujiwara, who henceforth monopolized the positions of Sessho and Kanpaku within the Japanese imperial court. Additionally, it explores the symbiotic relationship between the Fujiwara's power grab and the rise of the warrior class, particularly how the impact on peasant taxation facilitated this historical development.
The content of the video also encompasses power struggles between aristocrats and warriors in the late Heian period, and how the "Kijin" system, which entrusted taxation and land management to aristocrats and major temples, protected entrepreneurial industries. Furthermore, it discusses how Fujiwara no Michinaga utilized his political capital to reach the pinnacle of power, and the rapid rise of the Jodo sect amidst a backdrop of societal despair.
Explore the attacks by the Jurchen people on Japan, and how subsequently Minamoto no Yorimasa expanded his influence in the Kanto region, initiating a war lasting several years between the Minamoto and Abe clans. Finally, the video analyzes how the later Sanjo Emperor weakened the Fujiwara's familial power through astute management under the Insei system, bringing decades of stability to the central Japanese court.
This video provides a comprehensive perspective to understand political, social, and religious transformations in Japan from the Heian period to the early medieval era.
