What is Yasukuni? Simply put it is a shrine dedicated to peace and the soldiers of Japan. It’s name translates to Peaceful Land Shrine (Yasukuni Jinja) and despite the name it is the most controversial Shinto Shrine there is. This is because is has continuously been at the center of post war / post Japanese colonization politics. How did it come about? Was it always the center of Japanese militant nationalism?

Seen throughout Art, film, comics and Television the Tengu is as characteristic to Japan as Leprechauns are to Ireland. But I want to take a deeper look into what Tengu are and where they came from? Tengu are creatures of folklore and that means what they are is fluid and decentralized, always open to the particularities of each instance of them. But we have to start somewhere so we will be focusing on two points in time. The earliest forms on Tengu that appear in the Late Heian Period and Early Kamakura period and their use in late 19th early 20th century Kokugaku rhetoric. Today, we’re doing it all.

In the halls of Academia most university departments see no strong connection between economics and the study of the past. As an extension of this, in the general world view of most people there is no substantial relationship between archaeology and economics because most people don’t understand either one of them.

It ended with the surrender aboard the USS Missouri in 1945. The US would then seize control of the Japanese islands and begin to rebuild Japan, not so much as to help the people of Japan but to contain the spread of communism. The US policy towards Japan was sold as a way of helping to rebuild a defeated enemy but in reality, was used as a pawn to advance US political interests and the financial interests of individual politicians and military officers. The post-war period was a time when the Japanese public suffered a crisis of identity. The economic and social challenges from the war only compounded the terrible human cost of the war but Japan would experience a rise through the ashes to become a world superpower within only a few decades (theme here). This wave of growth and progress came to a halt when the economic consequences of Japanese monetary policy came home to roost in the 1990’s.

Hello, my name is Sean O’Connor and, you’re listening to ICD, the podcast where we explore the past, we explore, exploring the past and we spend a little too much time in Japan.

Today we continue our journey through the story of the Japanese islands

There are several specific topics that I would like to take a deeper dive into but I want to make sure that we have some basic ground covered before we get deep into it.

Throughout these 13 episodes, We will cover the entire span of Japanese history, from the early hunter-gatherers of the Jomon to the Newest Era, Reiwa. This will introduce the general outline of Japanese history for those who are not familiar and will begin to contextualize famous events and people.
