45. Women Warriors Of Japan, Part 1
    Provides a history of women's role in Japanese martial arts from the ancient era until modern times.  
    http://www.koryu.com/Library/wwj1.html
    
    Extractions: by Ellis Amdur The entry of Asian martial arts into the Western world has happened to coincide, through no particular design, with the transformation of women's role in society. Women of the late twentieth century have risen into prominence in business, science, and as players on the political stage. The victimization of women in domestic violence and sexual and physical assault is still rampant, but it is increasingly countered through legislation and political activism and, on a personal level, through women's pursuit of fighting skills to defend themselves. Ever greater numbers of women are involved in martial arts and self-defense training. For most people, identifying with one's predecessors is a strong desire. One often models oneself on an ideal that is personified in heroic myths or tales. For many women interested in Japanese martial practice, there is the image of the woman warrior bearing a naginata in the protection of her home and even on the field of battle. Although it is a glorious image, it is difficult to separate fact from fancy because of the almost complete absence of historical records that document the role of arms-bearing women. The battle tales of Japan, chronicles of wars in the Heian, Kamakura, and Muromachi periods, focus almost completely on the deeds of the nobility and warrior classes. These tales, passed down by blind bards much as Homer's

The History of Gardening: A Timeline "The history of the origin of human civilizations and agriculture is, of course, much older than the documentation in the form of pyramids, inscriptions and bas-reliefs or tombs can tell us. A close acquaintance with cultivated plants and with the multitude of types and their differentiation into geographical groups as well as their frequently sharp physiological isolation from each other compel us to refer the very origin of cultivated plants to such remote epochs, where periods of 5-10,000 years such as concern archeologists represent but a brief moment."

The attack of the Heike (Taira family) @In 1560 (Eiroku 3), Hisahide Matsunaga constructed Tamon castle on Mt. Mikenji-yama. This was the first time that Nara was ruled by a warrior. Seven years later, the battle between Hisahide and the Miyoshi clan extended into Nara and the Daibutsu-den was again burned down. However, this time, the combined efforts of all town citizens helped limit the damages caused by the war, and prompted all of the villages in the area to come together to form Nara town. @During the Edo period, Nara was converted into a territory under the direct control of the Nara shogunate administrator. All of the prominent elderly townspeople were selected to receive a mandate from the shogunate administrator to govern the town. From this, four town representatives were responsible for the actual governing of the town. During a census at the end of the 17th century, a total of 35,000 people were counted in all 205 towns.

    Extractions: overview history decorative papers workshop ... home The origin and development of marbling was practiced in Japan as early as the 12th century. The first forms of Japanese marbling were called suminagashi, or ink floating. Delicate, swirled patterns were produced on paper when colors of ink were floated on the surface of the water. The artist would drop circles of black and indigo blue ink into the water, then blow on the surface of the water to produce smoke-like patterns. Marbling later became popular with members of the Japanese royal court. They used a slightly different technique to produce suminagashi. They would decorate paper with sumi-ink then immerse the paper in water. As the inks floated to the surface, a beautiful pattern would appear. During the 15th century, other types of marbling were developed in Turkey and Persia. A type of marbling called Ebru, or cloud art, was practiced. Instead of floating inks on the water, they used paints made of oil or gouache. They also added a thickened medium called size to the water before they began marbling. The addition of size gave the marbler more control over color movement and the creation of patterns. After the paint was dropped into the water, a stylus or comb was used to create patterns. The art of marbling spread throughout Europe and by the 17th century, England, France, Germany, Holland, and Italy produced marbled papers. However, few people knew how to marble paper and marblers were reluctant to share their knowledge. Various formulas and marbling techniques became guarded secrets. As demand for marbled paper grew, marble guilds were introduced. Master marblers trained apprentices in the various techniques, being careful not to share secret formulas and techniques. English bookbinders were not familiar with the techniques of paper marbling so they imported marbled paper from Holland and Germany. However, the English were reluctant to pay taxes on the paper so the clever Dutch disguised it as wrapping paper for toys that were shipped to England. Although it may have been time consuming, the English book binders pressed the wrinkled sheets of paper in order to use them as endpapers for their books.

    Extractions: (1603 to 1867 AD) Although Japan is now am archipelago, it has not always been so. Until about 10,000 years ago, Japan was still joined to the Continent of Asia. The graph below shows the changes in sea levels around Japan since the last ice age, which ended about 12,000 years ago. This will have been a very significant development for the fledgling civilizations. From the end of the ice age 12,000 years ago until the sea level was 3 meters above their present levels 7,000 years ago, sea levels rose an average of 1.5 meters a century. This means that for many, many generations the sea was a constant and ever encroaching threat that advanced appreciably during one person's lifetime. Is it any wonder that there are numerous flood myths for this period of human existence.

    Extractions: Home Articles History of Ju-Jitsu > Ancient History Legendary History Ancient History How old is Ju-jitsu? The beginning of the Samurai ... The Jitsu Foundation In fact, there is no single source of Juj-itsu. Its history is one of convergence not divergence. The best answer to the question "How old is Ju-jitsu?" is simply "It depends on what you call Ju-jitsu". There is no magic syllabus which contains it and nor has there been a time when people stopped adding or discarding techniques. Another problem, is that some people use the term to describe very specific schools while other people use it as a general term for all the Japanese fighting arts. What we can say is that humans have always fought each other. So unarmed combat has always existed in Japan as it has everywhere else. It first touches history in "The Chronicle of Japan". This was written in 720 AD and mentions a contest of unarmed fighting taking place in 230 BC. This event is claimed as the beginning of Sumo. But this is not really evidence of the systematic study of a recognisable system. For evidence of that we have to wait for the
