Episode Synopsis
1. Introduction: Jōmon to 1600 (27 August 2021)
Overview
This first class will be an overview of premodern Japanese history, from the Neolithic (Jōmon) period to the end of the period of samurai rule in the mid-nineteenth century. It will prepare us to talk about modern history in future classes. Unlike those classes, this week we will not focus on details, only on the broad contours of history.

Jōmon c.15,000BP-3000BP*
Yayoi 3000BP-250
Kofun 250–538
Asuka 538–710

Kamakura 1185–1333
Muromachi 1333–1568
