Three admirable leaders in samurai's tale are Yoichi, Togan, and the charcoal burner family. Although Yoichi was the servant of Murakami and Murakami of Akiyama, Togan a cook for Akiyama’s lower class servants, and the Charcoal Burner Family a poor family contempt with helping Murakami. They were better leaders than the people in charge, who were supposed to be leaders/ lead. The charcoal burner family was very kind, helpful, and were content with helping Murakami.

In “The Samurai’s Tale” there are many characters the can be viewed as “great” leaders. In my essay I will be comparing Wada Kansuke, Yoshitoki, Lord Katsuyori and the traits that they ecnompass which makes them great leaders, despite the fact that they all can be considered good leaders, I believe that Wada Kansuke prevails over the rest due to his kinda and influence upon Murakami Harutomo.

Throughout most of World Word II, Hideki Tojo was an Imperial Japanese Army general and Prime Minister of Japan. Hideki Tojo is most known for his attack on Pearl Harbor in December 7, 1941.

It is during this time that women came to have a very important role in the social and interpersonal workings of the court. Though there were still many restrictions upon them, women were able to express themselves as never before and faced a surprising degree of freedom and autonomy in a society that was defined by an immense amount of rigid formalities. One of the things I

Analysis of the Gempei War In May 1180 Prince Mochihito, the son of Retired emperor Go-Shirakawa, issued a statement urging the Minamoto to rise against the Taira. While Mochihito would be killed in June and Minamoto Yorimasa crushed at the Battle of the Uji, a fire had been set. In September Minamoto Yoritomo, who had recieved Mochihito's call from Miyoshi Yasukiyo, set about raising an army in the Province of Izu, where he had been in exile. There was an irony in the preceeding events, as

Loyalty and honor are of the highest value in the eyes of the samurai. This is a statement that many scholars and young educated persons believe to be true on the basis of assumption. Thomas Conlan challenges this preconceived notion of loyalty and honor in his book State of War by piecing together a much more difficult and situationally based definition of loyalty which differed depending on the samurai and by observing how times of war and hardship truly challenged an individual’s sense of honor

The Heian Period from about 794-1185 A.D. was an impressive era in Japanese history. Considered Japan’s Classical Age, it was a period of wealth and sophistication. Peace and prosperity, high culture, powerful clans, new ideas and relative independence of foreign influence marked this time. The move to the capital of Heian-kyō (modern day Kyoto) was motivated in large part on a desire by Emperor Kammu to reduce the substantial influence exercised by the monasteries in Heijō-kyō (modern day Nara)

“The Tale of Heike” centers around the war between two clans, the Taira or Heike in the story and the Minamoto or known as Genji in the story in the 1100s. The work is often equated to other historical pieces of work such as the Iliad, the general plot of the work revolves around aspects of warrior culture and Japan during the medieval age. Since the piece was like other historical epic poems, there is not single author and the story has evolved being passed down through an oral culture before finally
