Life in the Heian Court | History of Japan 44

Life in the Japanese Heian court (794 - 1185) was different from the rest of the country. It was a culture of manners, decorum, and nitpicking the outward appearance of your peers.

I lived in Japan for a couple years about 12 years ago. That first part, with the bureaucracy? Yea, they kind of still do that. Getting your car registered involved collecting stamps, as in getting the right guy to stamp your paper with the right stamp in the right order so you can go to the next guy and he can stamp your paper. After collecting the requisite number of stamps your registration was renewed.

[@Linfamy]

Stamps?? C'mon Japan, you gotta divert some of that research money away from robots and into other technologies

[@G-Mastah-Fash]

@@krunkle5136 No because you could just not have somebody go stamp hunting for his registration and instead fire half of the employees working at the japanese DMV because they just waste time and money.

[@krunkle5136]

@@G-Mastah-Fash things could be better, but what bothers me is this instant gratification everything-needs-to-get-done-asap mentality where due diligence is seen as merely an obstacle to be removed. They're strict about security and formality. Again, it could indeed be improved, but a little bit of formality, to ensure someone's legit and serious about their decision, is not a bad thing. side note, according to their labor laws you can't just fire someone, unless they committed a crime.

[@Linfamy]

[@aramhalamech4204]

They lost their power to the Taira clan who lost their power to the Minamoto because their mounted archers had better melee and missile stats. #ImighthaveplayedtomuchShogun2totalwar

[@just_radical]

The Fujiwara always maintained power in the court up to the Meiji Revolution and in fact continued marrying their daughters into the Royal Family up until moderns times (The present emperor is the first one not born to a Fujiwara woman in hundreds of years). However when the samurai took over actual governance of Japan toward the end of the Heian Period they effectively sidelined the court and created an entirely new government with it's own inefficient and decadent traditions. All governing Samurai were nominally of the Minamoto clan aside from Taira no Kiyomori, his sons, the Hojo, Oda Nobunaga (all of the Taira clan) and Toyotomi no Hideyoshi (a peasant who was adopted by the leader of the Fujiwara clan after he became de facto ruler of Japan to legitimize him). However some of the leading Samurai families or their deputies were distant descendants of the Fujiwara clan who had been sent to the provinces and formed warrior clans rather than noble ones (the Date, the Otomo, the Uesugi, etc)

The Empress heriself raises silk worms and reel silk off cocoons. Daijosai is only once for the Emperor. Daijosai means that he has officially inherited the Emperor. You can't see them directly

Various ancient imperial regalia are given to the new sovereign during the course of the rite. The schedule is October 22, which will be a holiday His Majesty, wearing sokutai to the Emperor, ascends to the high throne and declares his throne. About 2,500 representatives from inside and outside the country, including celebration envoys from 195 countries, increased by 30 countries from the previous year.. All imperial family mans wear sokutai. All imperial family ladies wear ceremonial attire.(consisting originally of twelve layers of unlined kimono worn one on top of another) (Originally wearing a 12-layer kimono and wearing it on top of the other) The fact that everybody knows

I've heard Americans say that when they got jobs in Japan, the bosses would waste an amazing amount of time. Hours long meetings over staplers. I wonder if that mentality comes from this time

“Let me know in the comments if this is your workplace.” I live in Japan. It’s my entire life. I can’t buy a drink from a vending machine without my hanko and at least two people to play soccer with my paperwork. So. Many. Steps. For. Every. Little. Thing.
