  2. ….. A Few Laws to Control Daimyo • Increased kokut_________ • No more a________________ between powerful daimyo • More responsibilities for Daimyos: military political (daimyo would become g_____________ of their domains)

  3. Daimyo as Domain Governors • became a governor of the H_____ in his domain or territory • If there were 250 daimyo in Japan, there would be 250 g________ of 250 d________ at 250 h_______________. • Domains varied in size, koku production, status, and power * Each daimyo-governor had to complete an extensive domain report

  4. Domain Reports • Tokugawa required every single daimyo-governor to make the long long journey to Edo to pay taxes and discuss the extensive DOMAIN REPORT. • The Domain Report included: - a detailed domain map (location of daimyo castle and Han, roads.. - domain population - number of samurai - annual koku production

  5. Three different daimyo governors sitting on a tatami mat in their domain hans.

  6. Did the samurai assist in the Han? The samurai assisted their Daimyo-Governor by: • writing up the detailed domain report on kokuproduction, population, etc. • making the domain map • collecting taxes • making rules that support the bakufu goals • policing the domain etc.

  7. so, the point is…. The Tokugawa Shogunatecontrolled the daimyo’s role. The daimyo’s role had changed and was very busy governing the domain to serve the bakufu in Edo. BUT, there was more BIG LAW to control the Daimyo.

  8. #1 lawAlternate Attendance Most important law to control the power and wealth of Daimyo

  9. Alternate Attendance • All daimyo were required to make the long long journey to Edo every other year to discuss the Domain Report with the bakufuAttendancein Edo was required during alternateyears • This involved walking with thousands of domain people for weeks: samurai, family, servants,….

  10. One of the last processions, 1860’s

  11. After weeks of walking a large domain group arrives at an inn and see Edo in the distance.

  12. Samurai clans led by Daimyo and colorful banners arrive in Edo after weeks of walking.

  13. Highly Expensive!!! Daimyo paid for the long trip: * For all the supplies, colorful domain banners, * For sushi, green tea, and accommodations for weeks and for several thousand people * and for the building of a second home (little castle or mansion) in Edo with rooms and barracks for several thousand people

  14. Results of Alternate Attendance • controlled daimyo’s wealth • Daimyo spent up to ¾ of his yearly koku on these long expensive trips • United all of Japan under the administrative control of the Tokugawa shogunate

  15. Watch clip • Japan: Memoires of a Hidden Empire 9/18 9/18 5:44 – 8:04

  16. Another Result of Alternate Attendance Go Page 9 notes (we’ll come back to Page 6-8) Building of Roads Japan saw lots of movement of people, Especially from South Honshu to Edo. Busiest roads were from Osaka and Kyoto to Edo This was called the Tokkaido highway, Paid with high taxes Became the busiest highway in the world.

  17. Building of Roads

  18. Building including hundreds of bridges.

  19. Extra Koku • Draw Road System (Page 148) and/or • Alternate Attendance

  20. Japan’s New Network of Roads safe, well-used, highly controlled, supervised (There were a series of Road stations where people had to show their papers) Used for: • A_________ A_________ (250 large groups) 250 X + 3000 = + 750 000 over two years 2. Transportation of products to Edo 3. Other people who were needed in Edo like trades people, stone masons, carpenters, gardeners, artisans, merchants (business people) EDO was on the rise!!!

  21. Page 10 Lots of Growth Especially along the roads: Places to stay, eat, and sleep Villages grew into SERVICE TOWNS Services: food, tea, accommodations Hundreds of inns and tea houses

  22. Increased Travel P.10 • caused Japan’s economy to grow • lots of villages grew to become service towns • Services included food, accommodations • There was even tradebetween domains and service towns • Domains grew and divided to include service towns    castle towns governed by a daimyo-governor • Lots of castle-towns around Edo • Edo went from village to town to city to metropolis so that by the 1700’s it became world’s largest metropolis.

  23. Japan’s Metropolises Edo : grew with the arrival of 250 daimyo X + 3000 over the course of two years - the military-political capital of Japan - city of Tokugawa’s bakufu - exploded in population with the explosive need for products, services, and skilled trades people (stone masons, carpenters, artisans, gardeners, fabrics, merchants,…)

  24. Japan’s Metropolises Kyoto: also grew due to location, people coming from the south on way to Edo -old aristocratic capital of Japan - where emperor lives - tourist city - known for history/architecture - high quality artisan work -(furniture, woodwork, porcelain, metal work, woodblock prints,…)

  25. Japan’s Metropolises P.12 Osaka: town of ToyotomiHideyoshi castle -very centrally located - people from south stayed here on way to Edo - developed historically around Japan’s best harbor (Yamato Plains) - great koku rice fields - high concentration of daimyo

  26. Japan’s Metropolis Osaka : - hundreds of kokustorhouses - goods transported up river to Kyoto - major economic center - some very wealthy domains and daimyo - city of great feudal daimyo castles - city of 150 bridges

  27. The point is…. Japan’s communities changed because of Tokugawa’s bakufu law of alternate attendance. This law led to the urban growth of Japan’s cities and towns in population and building. Tokugawa ushered in a period of great movement, travel, trade, economic growth, building, …………….

  28. Respecting the Hierarchy of Power But all of this busyness and change could only work, if all of society respected and followed the Tokugawa rules. Everyonbe had to respect the hierarchy of power. 1. Shogun was #1 and his bakufu 2. Daimyo ruled the domain 3. Samurai were noble elite.

  29. Pages 6-8 • Shogun (Bakufu in Edo) • Daimyo emperor (domain han governor) (Kyoto) 3.samurai 4. Peasants :farmers 5. Artisans 6. Merchants 7. Outcasts (eta) 8. Non-humans (hinnin)

  30. Pages 6-8 Textbook : Tokugawa’s strict and clear structure for society. Pages 141- 145 Everyone had a place. Everyone had to know their place. Everyone had to know and follow their role. Everyone had to know and respect the hierarchy of power.
