7. Edo Japan, A Virtual Tour Take a tour through Tokyo during the period of the Tokugawa shoguns, and learn about the history of Japan's greatest city. Illustrated by ukiyoe images, the text discusses the traditions that underlie japanese culture. http://www.us-japan.org/edomatsu/

Welcome to Edo Edo is the ancient name for Tokyo. During the reign of the Tokugawa Shoguns, Japan's emperor reigned in secluded majesty at the imperial capital in Kyoto; however, the true center of power, government, the economy and social life was Edo , where the Shogun lived and ruled the country. For most people in Japan, Edo is more than just a historical city. It also has a symbolic image and meaning. It represents nearly everything that they consider a part of their "traditional" culture. For the Japanese, Edo has a romantic image that one could compare to the Italian's image of Renaissance Venice, the British image of Victorian London and the American image of the Wild West, all rolled into one. This website is designed to take you exploring in Edo . Hopefully it will offer not only some enjoyment, but also some insights into the source of "traditional Japan". Although modern Tokyo may look very "Western" on the surface, in its heart the spirit of Edo still lives on! This site is continuously growing and expanding, with the addition of new pages on various parts of the city. Bookmark this page and visit often. New towns, new sounds and graphics, and new information on historical Edo will be added on a regular basis. Special thanks to The Japan-America Society for co-hosting this website.

Geographical Conditions. Let ustake a look first at those special geographical features of the http://www.isei.or.jp/books/75/Plurality.html

The Plurality of Japanese Culture Geographical Conditions Let us take a look first at those special geographical features of the Japanese archipelago that would seem to relate to the special features of Japanese culture and society. First of all, there is the great difference of latitude between north and the south. To take only the four main islands of Hokkaido, Honshu, Shikoku, and Kyushu, the islands range from N 45 degrees 33 minutes at their northern extremity to latitude N 23 degrees at their southern extremity, covering a distance of 2,000 kilometers, which increases to 4,500 kilometers if one takes in all the islands from those still farther to the north to the remotest of the Okinawan group in the southwest. Where climate is concerned, the waters of the Okhotsk Sea coast in the very north are visited every winter by drifting ice carried in from the north, while Okinawa in the far south has abundant tropical fish in its coral reefs and similarly abundant plant life, also of a tropical nature. Whereas the cherry blossom in Okinawa begins to bloom in January, in Hokkaido it is delayed until May. Again, areas on the Japan Sea side are swept in winter by moist seasonal winds from the northwest, and since they are backed by mountains, there is heavy snowfall, which even on the plains reaches a depth of one meter in many places, while in the mountainous areas it occasionally reaches two meters. As a result, getting rid of the snow and other similar measures constitute a serious problem in these areas and a major financial burden on local governing bodies. The handcraft goods produced in the home during winter have traditionally formed one of the bases of local industry. On the Pacific coast, on the other hand, snowfalls are far lighter, and the dry seasonal winds experienced in some areas such as the Kantô region, including Tokyo, make fires a major hazard, especially in the cities.

Uchi-Soto ("Us and Them") Uchi-soto has one other important traitthere are next to no strikes in Japan. Ever. Because Japanese labor-management relations are better? Partly, yes. But in Japan there are almost no unions like the Teamsters or AFL-CIO. But each large corporation has its own union, and they feel no bond with other company unions even if they're doing the same thing. In one sense, the company union is almost a puppet, led by a management executive. But in another, everyone in a Japanese company knows that to succeed they need to act together, and being profitable in the long run is the only way to guarantee employment. You don't see a lot of the friction between labor and management in Japanese firms one reason is that the workers often cave in since they know a profitable company eventually benefits them. Another is that they know the CEO and execs don't make 100 times the money the workers do, or $2500-$5000 per hour (That's no exaggeration eitheryou do the math.)
