Description

I do this lesson in English so you don’t need Japanese language. And You don’t need to remember so much things for some test because you are not students in Japanese school. Our goal is not passing the entrance test for high school or university in Japan.The important thing is to be able to use your knowledge of Japanese history to understand the historical background of Japan. So when you finished learning history, you can explain what you've learned simply.By taking this course you will be able to explain:Why do Japanese people eat raw fish and raw eggs without cooking them?Why are Japanese people afraid of ghosts?Which is the Japanese king, an Emperor or a Shogun?Why are there polytheistic shrines and Buddhist temples in Japan, and why do the same people visit both?Who was the great natto seller who opened the door to research into ancient Japanese history?Why don't the honorary CEOs in Japanese companies  make decisions themselves?I make it a rule for students to learn about both the positive side and the negative side of Japan, Japanese people and Japanese culture based on academic knowledge historians figured out.Let's enjoy lessons.
