Japan now has this prospect, but in a more civilized way - imprisonment replaces execution and serious practical punishment. Society began to look at the punitive generals of punishment and unnecessary violence, and this increasing pressure led the government to correct punishment. In addition, a major change in the decline of this inhuman punishment occurred in 1868 and was eventually the result of the collapse of Edo which ended this period. Compared to Japan in the Edo period, violent punishment techniques are few in ancient Egypt.
Edo is the ancient name of Tokyo. During the reign of Tokugawa Shogunate, the emperor of Japan ruled the capital of Kyoto with gentle dignity, but the center of true power, government, economy, social life was Edo, the shogunate dominated this country. For most people in Japan, Edo is not a city with a long history. There are also symbolic images and meanings. It mostly represents what they think is part of "traditional" culture. For the Japanese, Edo has a romantic image that can be compared with the statue of the Italian Venetian Renaissance, the Victorian statue of London, and the western American statue of the West. This website is designed to take you to the exploration of Edo. I hope it not only provides some fun but also provides some insight into the source of "traditional Japan". Modern Tokyo looks very "west side" on the surface, but the spirit of Edo still exists!
Today, Chubu Japan has many attractions for modern travelers. For beginners, most of the old highway Nakasendo connecting Kyoto and Edo remains as it is. As shown above, along this way there are several wonderful postal towns that received phone calls to preserve their history. Thanks to this, hiking in Nakayamado may remind you of the image of tired travelers returning to Edo hundreds of years back and forth. Hikone castle is on the bank of Lake Biwa nearby. This indomitable fortress is a master of the defense, and the original building rises in Hikone today as well. From the top of the castle you can see all the surrounding areas, including important blocking points through which the trade route must pass. When you explore Hikone Castle, you can easily understand that nobody has the courage to challenge Tokugawa after the Sekigahara conflict.
Edo Wonderland of Nikko is a historical theme park entering Japan in the Edo period. That cheapness - until you remember that most of the "historic castle" in Japan has been rebuilt many times over centuries and has been constantly adapted to earthquakes and wars. Pictures can be everywhere - simulation is very powerful. My only comparison is "History Revitalization Website" - it is mainly the performance that turns these places into reality. If you grew up in Sydney in the 1980's, you may go to Old Sydney. It is somewhat similar except for good things. The ninja show is a very cool set with flashlights, smoke bombs, and sets that look like paper. Elsewhere, the children have to throw the appropriate metal silk, explore the secret room of the ninja mansion, and make a surprisingly confusing maze.
