Japan's Society was very organized. The top level of society was the emperor, then was the shogun the supreme military commander. The Emperor was more of a symbol and the country was really led more by the shogun. Then were the daimyo, powerful samurai that held land. Samurai warriors were after them, then finally the peasants and artisans and-originally- the merchants were at the bottom.

I learned about noh dramas, a type of dance with a tragic theme, that Samurai attended.
I learned about type of poetry they wrote called a haiku with three lines of 5,7 then 5 syllables.
I also learned about kabuki theater where actors used dancing, music and miming to portray skits about life.

When the Portuguese arrived in Japan they brought a number of different things including firearms, clocks, and eyeglasses. The object that changed life for them the most was the firearms. Some daimyo took the firearms and trained groups of peasants on how to use them. Many of the Samurai kept their usual weapon, the sword and many of them lost their lives because of it.

At first Christianity was welcomed into Japan, but when they found out what they were there to do they were not pleased. After fifty years Christianity was banned but it continued on and off until an uprising occured. From then on the shoguns all persucuted Christians until they were all out of Japan.
