At this point, the branch line in Hokkaido, Japan, has come to an end.
This part of the branch begins with the civil strife in the Muromachi shogunate and the replacement of three generals in one year, and leads from Morino Kiyoshi, a great businessman in Kyoto, to the Uyizaki clan in Ezo, Hokkaido, the predecessor of the Matsumae clan. At this time, the head of the Uyizaki family was also the ancestor of the Matsumae clan, a figure who had a great influence on the development of the Ezo land, Takeda Nobuhiro.
Subsequently, there were negotiations between Morino Kiyoshi and Takeda Nobuhiro, which brought the ocean-covering ships from Sakai Port and introduced trade to the Far North. This part of the content will have a great impact in the near future and even change the direction of America, so the foreshadowing must be laid in advance.
Similarly, at the end of the Muromachi period, it was probably the last era in Japanese history that advocated Tang style and spoke Tang poetry. Japanese poetry and haiku are not yet mature, but the cultural imprint left by the Tang and Song Dynasties is still deeply engraved in the hearts of Japanese people.
It can be said that the Japanese culture of this era is still part of the culture of the Celestial Dynasty. It fully imitates the customs of the Tang people and is full of reverence and yearning for the Tang and Song eras. Later, in the Edo period, the new Japanese culture would completely branch out based on the Chinese culture.
Therefore, the reason why I write this part is nominally to write about Japan, but actually it is also to describe the imprints left by the Tang and Song Dynasties. Of course, Buddhist culture also occupied an important position during this period, affecting all aspects of Japanese people, which is also reflected in the article.
Well, in order to write this part well, the author consulted a lot of information, talked about it in detail, and spent a lot of thought on it. The pursuit of writing is to let more people see it. I hope you will be patient enough to read a few words and take a look at the interesting parts... the author will be very happy!
Finally, thank you readers for your continued support! I wish you a happy Year of the Rabbit, good health and all the best~
