I hope you know that Ukraine has been bombing civilian markets in the donbass killing 14,000 civilians since 2014. You going to say anything about that? A lot of hypocrisy out there
---> informative video, the quick wit and humor that brought me to your channel in the first place. @linf, consider putting citations at the end of the video, and references in the video description. People I know have reference facts from your videos, for instance, in their college history papers
There is a city in Hiroshima called Hatsukaichi where the traditional market opens on every 20th day of the month while the city Yokkaichi in Mie opens on the 4th, 14th and the 24th day of the month.
WAIT WHAT?! I used to live in Mie (close to Ise, I know Yokkaichi is A LOT closer to Nagoya) But I didnt know they opened a traditional market on certain days! Dang, what a missed opportunity!
I love you so much linfamy 😢 my bestie just mildly screwed me financially & I'm so upset & your videos are the only thing capable of calming me down right now so I can keep working. Always, I can count on your videos to brighten my mood. My gratitude knows no bounds 💝 thanks for being here for me
3:40 there's some real swag to earlier samurai that was lost after the 1400s, 950-1300ad is easily my favourite era for their town and battle time kit and hair styles.
Japanese villagers living in isolation and being self-sufficient *is* rather implausible. Even during the age of the HunTer Gatherers, their life style limiting the family/clan group, this didn't mean they wouldn't meet on 'yearmarkets' once or twice a year. The various small groups of hunter gatherers could trade stuff from local non-hunter gatherers and they could improve their genepool by marrying new blood they met on these yearmarkets. That's not my own invention though, I saw the concept in the movie "The Clan of the Cavebear." The audience often get the wrong idea because when we watch a movie about hunter gatherers, they're always out hunting and gathering. But who's to say that's all they did month after month, season after season? A rather big misconception thanks to the movies is that British frontsoldiers would spent months in their trenches. Not true. German frontsoldiers did live permanently in their trenches but then they had underground shelters, lodgings, kitchens, etc. British frontsoldiers were only moved to the front in anticipation of an attack, be it from their side or the other. So they would only remain in those trenches one or two weeks I guess. British trenches did not have permanent shelters, only for the commanding officers... So unless the British wanted a mutiny every month or so, high command would make sure that not the same soldiers would have to stay in the trenches for any prolonged period of time.
Why am I watching these videos and being insulted with my shameful secrets 😂. Maybe I'm just a pathetic being who deserves this lols. Thank you master 😁
If there was trade and craftsmanship why were there only two cities. Henen and Kamakura? Trade and craftsmanship makes villages grow until they become cities. How could it be that you needed a super important man to found a city around his palace?
9:40 I don't know. That is a sign that the market economy has gotten into the murder hornet sectors of society. Honestly, they seem less gambling prone than ronin you might hire as bodyguards.
Is.. is your figure you use a piece of crap wearing a scarf and gloves? Sorry I just needed to know. Good work on the video btw I liked the part where you told people to be ashamed if they got it wrong about the merchant I got a good laugh from that
I am ashamed. Very, deeply, truly ashamed. I have let my ancestors down. *Takes wakizashi off fireplace* I... must make amends, repay my ancestors. RESTORE MY FAMILES HONOR... Wait a minute. I'm Irish. We have zero shame (Explains a lot) Wow that was a close one.
Anyone who's worked or frequented Farmer's Markets, Craft Fairs, Flea Markets, etc. today appreciates the accuracy of the social & community aspects he describes.
Honestly this channel is amazing. Like an Asian Historia Civilis. The topic itself it's interesting, but the guy has some really good story telling skills and art and can turn a ordinary topic into something incredible. Seriously he's so gifted! Also it's nice to see a realistic lessons on Japan rather than people in the west insisting it's perfect and never did anything wrong. I wish he would make like an 80 hour podcast like Mike Duncan's History of Rome, about Japan. That way we could see every Dynasty and Technological wave in Japan from its early starting history to its modern day or something.
There are several podcasts about Japan like the Samurai Archives or the History of Japan, but for a narrative history like the History of Rome check out A history of Japan. Linfamy actually also has his own History of Japan videos but I think he stopped in the Kamakura period.
Loved your video, the epic conclusion to an intriguing series! So I’m short, coins in Japan were like Rainbow Loom bands in my school. They diffused into the general population not because of a central policy but because a few cool kids(merchants) started using them and it was a way for people to connect socially and economically(people actually started selling bracelets in my school). 🤣🤣🤣
Luck was on my side today. I didn't laugh and drink at the same time. Somehow. Brocade: fabric woven with a raised pattern usually in gold or silver thread. So, not for the peasants...
Speaking of merchants, there's a bunch of them in town for our annual mushroom festival this weekend. I plan to meet up with a noguchi San this afternoon to learn mushroom hunting. A town needs commerce or it becomes stagnant and thieves of many kinds sprout up
I love goin to the markets. People loitering around doing whatever. Others trying to sell stuff to ya. Music and noises in the background. The smell of food and cigarettes. I like it a lot.
That was the official stance, but it's hard to tell you in your face that you're a bottom feeder when you have the best house, the finest everything, and that you might be the one the other party may come to for a loan when they really need extra cash for geisha and sake.
@@Svartalf14 Social status still come handy in marriage proposals though "Bu-bu-buh... my home are made from gold, my eating plates are made from gold, and even hooves for my donkey are made from gold. Why then did you pick dirt poor Otomo from river downstream for your daughter instead of obviously wealthy man like me?!!" "That man is a farmer, and you are not" *flips chair* "OH FOR THE FOOK SAKE!"
Many, many years ago (10+ years ago, I think), way before the mega-drought, at a farmer's market in Palo Alto, I ran across the most delicious organic olive oil I've ever had. It was smooth and spicy and didn't just taste like olive-flavored vegetable oil. It came in a glass ewer that I brought with me all the way back east and was amazing. I've never been able to find it since. I also tasted authentic Afghan food, which was delicious. They even had romanesco broccoli. I've always wanted to go back there. Farmer's markets are dope.
@@TheGreatDayne1983 I got some homemade jelly and some fresh honey. No squash tho cause I have a friend who grew way too much and they're literally giving it away.
These frickin jokes are killing me! "We all know that it's dangerous to go around flashing Benjamins. Or in your case, Washingtons." Why you gotta do us like that? 😂😂😂. Another hilarious but informative video, thank you! Also, my guess for the RPG class was mercenary, which isn't too far off of a merchant. They just generally sell their ability to kill people in favor of money. Still playing FF7R and am making my way through a walkthrough of OG FF7 and so Cloud was on my mind.
@@nihilvox I've heard of it and seen it but haven't played it yet. I think it's a lot more high-octane and it looks fun, but I don't think it has a merchant class.
God, I wish I had Murder Wasps on retainer. Maybe if I spread enough bottles of liquor around the backyard, then this dream might become reality. At the very least it'll give my Landlord's toddlers some new toys to play with.
The whole "use the shop at different times" made me laugh, because 2 restaurants where I live do that, except they do a day/night split at specific hours.
I always love Linfamy’s economic history bits! I also have no clue what brocades are off the top of my head. I’m guessing the samurai in the painting just got ripped off?
Only an idiot would guess that "merchant" would be the *_NEW_* occupation that came about, given that *merchants had existed for many centuries!* (all the way back into *_pre-history)_* I didn't guess correctly *_…because the question is wrong!_*
6:21 that may be good when it comes to some things, but when it comes to basic needs like food, clothes and shelter is extremely bad. Especially not being self sufficient when it comes to food destroys both your economy and ecosystem

"Size shouldn't matter, but 20 meters is just ridiculous." - I almost spat out my tea hearing this joke.
It's funny cuz it's true
There is a city in Hiroshima called Hatsukaichi where the traditional market opens on every 20th day of the month while the city Yokkaichi in Mie opens on the 4th, 14th and the 24th day of the month.
Are you Japanese?
Very apt names.
WAIT WHAT?! I used to live in Mie (close to Ise, I know Yokkaichi is A LOT closer to Nagoya) But I didnt know they opened a traditional market on certain days! Dang, what a missed opportunity!
A question why the fck open in 4th 14th and 24th? Wouldnt be the equivalent of a western market that only opens at 13th?
If only history teachers in school made things interesting and funny like you do. More people would love history.
i was very lucky to have those.also as a former teacher most in the us do not because they are overworked and have too many damn kids in the class.
Your writing is awesome!
Or whoever is writing this.

Linfamy, lets be real here, you dont have 9 inches of coin.
You got me, it's 10 inches. Of coin.
The Nasudaku (NASDAQ) one is funny 😁. I am ashamed I can't guess it even though I play JRPG. As usual great videos!
Speaking of merchants, there's a bunch of them in town for our annual mushroom festival this weekend. I plan to meet up with a noguchi San this afternoon to learn mushroom hunting. A town needs commerce or it becomes stagnant and thieves of many kinds sprout up
In my country some people call mushroom gathering "Silent Hunt". Probably cause mushrooms usually does not scream when you poke them with a knife...
Wow, that’s absolutely amazing!
Care to share where that takes place? Sounds like an awesome occasion for visiting (:
Glad to know you still watch beauty gurus on UA-cam! 😁😄
