I have always found it fascinating how Shogunate Japan ranked peasant farmers higher than artisans or merchants because Confucian philosophy highly valued those who produced food over ‘non-essential’ goods or traders

[@driaan_louw]

As an artisan, I'm offended by ancient Japan

[@ws1814]

Even in some South Asian countries the top social level after aristocracy were farmers.

[@mythamkuraspa3560]

Another reason is that rice had a function as money. Farmers mainly paid rice as tax, and large cities such as Edo and Osaka had rice wholesalers as financial districts, and the scale of local economies was expressed by the scale of rice production. Therefore, the peasants also had a certain amount of power and often caused protest movements such as uprisings. Of course, the merchants were also influential, but they were often caught between the powerful shogunate and the farmers who used force.

[@pierren___]

They are litterally useless because they replacable

[@GWT1m0]

@@driaan_louw Good, because society is always 3 full meals away from Anarchy

After spending 2-weeks in Tokyo, I would have like to see this video sooner. Very well done. Very informative. Thank you for putting this together.

[@69thAndYorkAve]

What a wonderfully done video! Just top notch all around. Informative, beautiful, edited masterfully, great perspective! Thank you!!!

[@MKJHUI]

丸の内 not means "Within the Circle". Edo Castle can be seen as "Motte and bailey" when simplified. 本丸(Honmaru) is "Motte". And other ward is "bailey". 二の丸(Ni no maru) is "Second Bailey", 三の丸(San no maru) is "Third Bailey", and more. So 丸の内(Maru no uchi) means "Inner Bailey area" that Area located inside the curtain walls.

[@slugger_hinatastan17]

I’m from Kanda-Surugadai (a.k.a Ochanomizu). IMO it’s the most entertaining area (including Jinbocho, Suidobashi, Akihabara, Yushima and Kudanshita) in Tokyo if you’re a geography lover. Second is the area around Shinagawa station.

[@fonzisalgado512]

[@noahmiller2922]

Amazing video, learned a ton 🔥

[@BrightTripTravel]

Awesome, thank you!

[@KVanTravel]

Thanks for information, useful for traveling in Tokyo!

[@Riomojo]

How are peasants above artisans and merchants in the hierarchical pyramid order?

[@wp7187]

I won’t pretend to have the answer, although it’s possible that it’s do with feudalism, whereby the the elite and the peasants would be co-dependent upon one-another, whereas the artisans and merchants may have more wealth than the peasantry but were less systemically integral to society’s basic functions.

[@apologu]

i think that’s a mistake

[@JaredJonesAZ]

It's no mistake, I learned about this social structure in a South and East Asia course in school. Basically in Japanese culture, working with ones hands to produce a necessity (farming, construction, fishing, etc.) was seen as a higher status form of labor than artisan and mercantile labor. When you think about it the difference in labor hierarchy between cultures is largely arbitrary, and merely a reflection of the values of elites who determine how the greater society will be structured.

[@pierren___]

Because they provide a universal good and they are tide to the land, and thus to the lords. Meanwhile merchants are replacable exchangers who are in contact with foreigners and thus a major menace.

[@Sora-ce1zx]

Why not? If there’s no food, everyone dies. You can live without artisans and merchants, but not farmers. It’s such a simple logic.

[@DavidGordon]

No better way to start my morning than with a cup of coffee and a new Bright Trip map explainer😊 Bonus love for mustached Daniel!!

[@dw61w]

[@AllieThePrettyGator]

The biggest Volcano in Japan which is Mount Fuji Overlooks Tokyo

[@Furumaru.]

I'd think there'd be more info and maps from a city that big.

[@embrxr]

when are you doing map breakdowns of Boston and Philadelphia?

[@Tejas-Ankolekar]

Can you people do Mumbai local train guide like the nyc Subway system? Quite complex 🙂

[@BrightTripTravel]

Great idea!!!

[@VitalyGladkov]

Great video. But kinda wish it was an hour longer. Just when I started getting into the story it was over

[@rayagancheva1927]

Did Daniel Steiner just copy your video?

[@gw2833]

Tokyo isn't the most populous city in the world, it's Chongqing (formerly Chungking). Chongqing is the size of Austria. Its urban areas are higher in population than the Tokyo city proper. Lumping Tokyo with nearby cities to call it 'Greater Tokyo' and the most populated area in the world is cheating. If you tried doing that with several cities in China, you'd have even higher numbers. Visit Chongqing one day--it's out of this world.

[@gothicjello0154]

The way you talk and the content is very similar to Daniel Steiner

[@danielmalinen6337]

If you continue with cities that have burned down, you definitely have to make a video about Turku 😅

[@frankkawaitran2429]

this video is bar for bar the same as the shogun video on Tokyo

[@BradleyFish-ln4vl]

this is cool

[@jaywilldoit]

I feel like a lot was explained but I learned nothing at the same time. There's a lot of history but no explanation of where anything is currently.

[@wahidbesereni9257]

can u pls do miami

[@explofct]

Daniel Steiner just outright copy this video lol

[@galm7]

Came from that one after he said Tokyo was on the west coast. This video is much better.

[@Alaindelon3440]

This video is actually Daniel Steiner as well! He answered me on that channel. I didn't notice 😂

[@OmarOmar-c7y]

Sorry mate; the professor and then you do not have all the facts right- I lived in Tokyo too. Also; seems that you need a bit more World cities knowledge; the social part

[@Arrrrrrrnold]

Bit annoying that everytime you say "Western" you essentially mean "US". If you wanna talk about the US then name it and don't lump Europe into your argument.

[@jknaus91]

@DanielsimsSteiner best one yet! omg that was good
