    Early Japan (until 710)

    During the Yayoi Period, the rice culture was imported into
    Japan. With the introduction of agriculture, social classes
    started to evolve, and parts of the country began to unite
    under powerful land owners.
    4

    Nara and Heian Periods (710-1192)


    In the year 710, the first permanent Japanese
    capital was established in Nara.

    The power of the clan reached its peak with 5
    Fujiwara Michinaga in the year 1016. After
    Michinaga, however, the ability of the Fujiwara
    leaders began to decline, and public order could not
    be maintained. Many land owners hired samurai for
    the protection of their properties.
    6

    After the Heiji Rising (1159), a struggle for
    power between the two families, Taira
    Kiyomori evolved as the leader of Japan and
    ruled the country from 1168 to 1178 through
    the emperor.
    7
    Kamakura Period (1192 - 1333)

    In 1185, the Minamoto family took over the control
    over Japan after defeating the Taira clan in the
    Gempei war. Minamoto Yoritomo established a
    new military government, the Kamakura Bakufu, in
    Kamakura and was appointed shogun in the year
    1192.
    Edo Period (1603 - 1868) 8

    In the battle of Sekigahara in 1600, Ieyasu defeated the
    Hideyori loyalists and other Western rivals. Hence, he
    achieved almost unlimited power and wealth. In 1603,
    Ieyasu was appointed Shogun by the emperor and
    established his government in Edo (Tokyo). The Tokugawa
    shoguns continued to rule Japan for a remarkable 250
    years.
