Emergence Of Pleasure Quarters In New Tokyo Architecture
[ send me this essay ]
10 pages in length. Architecture – and its appreciation – is a forever evolving entity. While myriad styles appear original in nature, more often than not they can be traced to influences from other cultures or periods with little more than a facelift attached. The recent influx of Tokyo's pleasure quarters has given way to what might appear to be a fresh approach to Japanese architecture when in reality this throwing-caution-to-the-wind architectural style is wholly influenced by Western culture and Japan's own historical past. Even though the Western vocabulary would not readily embrace pleasure quarters as reflecting anything remotely architectural in nature, the entire artistic movement is both modernistic and well received by contemporary and traditional Japanese alike. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

Fall Of The Tokugawa Bakufu
[ send me this essay ]
24 pages in length. The fall of Tokugawa bakufu, the foundation of more than two hundred and fifty years of peaceful existence, was caused in great part to the detrimental impact of Western Imperialism, which compelled the government to refashion its way of operating to reflect something wholly foreign. The intimidation factor was significant in the ultimate fall, inasmuch as Western influence served as an undeniable threat to their tent government – also known as Shogunate. The self-imposed isolation Japan erected became a bone of tremendous contention in the aftermath of myriad administrative changes enacted by the Tokugawa government. These reforms, which occurred in a number of eras including Kansei and Kyoho, were just as bad as the lackadaisical approach to government discipline that Bunka and Bunsei eras had adopted; by contrast, Edo and other areas experienced a flourishing of local cultures. When the mandate came through from various foreign nations for Japan to do away with its partition policy, the Tokugawa bakufu was wholly incapable of maintaining any sort of trade/negotiation authority, which ultimately negated their prestige. Bibliography lists 13 sources.
