    I am from mainland China, and I like Japanese culture very much. One of the main reasons is that Japan has not experienced China's Mongolian descent to the south and Manchu Qing entry, so it has retained a lot of traditional culture and East Asian culture. Reminds me of the former Tang Empire, powerful, beautiful, peaceful and free
    Maybe there are many historical problems between our two nations, and some of them are not perfectly resolved now, but I think the Chinese nation and the Yamato nation are friends and relatives for thousands of years. In the hundreds of years of the decline of the modern East, modern Japan will It is a good example for China and one of the references for modern Chinese political reform. The former students are now our teachers.

      The Yuan and Qing dynasties are also part of East Asian culture.
      Chinese culture does not consist only of the Han Chinese.
      In addition, China has developed by completely destroying the traces and culture of the previous dynasty (previous power) every time the dynasty changed, and the bloodline was extinguished.
      The main cause of cultural destruction in modern China is the Cultural Revolution led by the Communist Party of China, Mao Zedong.
      This is also a “destructive culture” brought about by the harsh continental society, and it is a form of culture. Unlike continental nations, where it is easy to migrate by land, and where conflicts, eliminations, and purges occur among immigrants, in island nations, most people have no choice but to live together rather than clash, eliminate, or purge. A confined and closed society in an island country, this is also good and bad.
      We must understand that China and Japan are not relatives, but merely neighbors. Hopefully we are good neighbors.

      @@rikipu01 You can study the blood relationship between the two nationalities of China and Japan by yourself. Today’s Japanese basically migrated from the mainland, and the native Japanese are assimilated, just like southern China. In addition, Xu Fu and Jianzhen brought a lot of Han Chinese genes to Japan in the feudal era, and there are many such examples, so the blood relationship of East Asians is as close as that of Europeans

    我来自中国大陆,我非常喜欢日本的文化,其中一个主要原因,是因为日本没有经历过中国的蒙古南下和满清入关,使其保留了很多的传统文化和东亚文化。让我联想到了曾经的大唐帝国,强大美丽又和平自由
    也许我们两个民族之间有很多历史问题,甚至有一些现在都没有完美解决,但是我觉得中华民族和大和民族是几千年的朋友和亲戚,在近代东方衰落的几百年,现代日本会是中国很好的榜样,也是现代中国政治改革的一个借鉴对象之一,曾经的学生如今已经是我们的老师了啊

      错误的,日本文化是和族综合了中华,东南亚,以及荷兰/葡萄牙为代表的西方文化所形成的独立文化,你只能说日本独立发展了优秀的文化,而这文化中有一部分中华文化的影子,而不能将其认为是大唐文化。元清非中国论(明修元史,共和国接纳宣统就是正统认证的证明)本身就是日本帝国为了侵略而创造的,中华与北亚,中亚民族的交流从来就没有断过。最后,现代日本的路又不是没有学过,结论是走不通,在岛国上发展出的政治逻辑是无法应用在大陆上的。日本人には、湯武革命をまだしていないがら、天下のことを理解できない

    my favorite country ever. miss this wonderful nation. i lived in japan for 3 years. 2.5 years in chiba near tokyo, and 8 months in a small valley town named tendo in yamagata. despite being just appx 300km apart, both are having very different climate.
    tokyo is hot, humid, and stormy during the summer, you just simply can't leave the apartment without an umbrella! winter in tokyo is much sunnier, cool and pleasant with very rare and little amount of snow, you can just go around without wearing a knit hat. in fact, the sea water in tateyama beach (the very southernmost tip of chiba, far away from the city) is still warm due to the effect of kuroshio current ! amazing isn't it?
    yamagata on the other hand, is freezing cold(not as cold as ukraine) and very snowy during the winter ! And the winter is much longer than tokyo, the snowfall starts to occur as early as november. the snow can last until the mid of march, where most of the places in japan are already enjoying the blooming of sakura. according to my coworkers, the region in nagano and the island of hokkaido are much more snowier than here! very distinct variation of weather, given the size of this country. would like to travel to japan as a tourist again in future. too many places have yet to explore!

      usa got nuke revenge but china korea myanmar phillippine singapore ... asia must have reparation or revenge - victims n criminals are dead but nations are still around n only nations war so they'll come for revenge any time - to prevent that japan can easily do:-
      1 don't elect warhawks or war criminal decendants like abe or present pm
      2 burn war criminal shrine n build one for peaceful leaders
      3 pay victim nations 70mil equivalent of the day n be free from usa "protection" forever - usa knock japan down from #1 in the 80's with a hua wei - evil usa - shut down usa bases n kick them out of japan waters - japan only bomb pearl harbor a military outpost not mainland usa - usa nuke 2 japanese big cities hiroshima n nagasaki
      4 fact in text bks
      5 don't arm up - use the money in economy - if u arm up asia can preemptive strike/revenge

    As a Japanese, I don’t know why some American people still adhere to the myth that the atomic bomb forced Japan to surrender. It was Soviet Union participation that forced Japan to surrender. The Japanese government was not shaken by Nagasaki on August 9th as with Hiroshima on August 6th. They were rather shocked by the participation of Soviet Union that they had asked to mediate peace, and then they understood that there was no other way but to surrender. This has already been settled academically by revealed various documents. The atomic bomb was completely unnecessary.

    Жапон мәдениеті - әлемдегі ең жарқын және әлемге танылған мәдениеттердің бірі. Бұл Шығыс Азия мен Батыстың күрделі үйлесімді мәдениеті болғанымен, оның орталығы әдет-ғұрыптар мен өнерге бай. Каллиграфияға, иллюстрацияға, кескіндемеге, түстерді ұйымдастыруға, дизайнға, поэзияға, театрға және киімге ерекше жапондық көзқарас әлемді таң қалдыруда және бонсай, хайку, икебана, кабуки, оригами, гейша, кимоно және караоке секілді жапонның көп сөздері ағылшын тілінде көрініс тапты. Жапондық самурайлардың көптеген жылдар бойы соғыстағы костюмдері, дәстүрлері мен қарулары, әсіресе 16 ғасырдағы соғыс кезеңіндегі мәдениетінің танымалдығы жылдан жылға Жапон жанкүйерлерін көбейтуде. Каратэ, сумо, айкидо және кендо, дзюдо секілді халықаралық деңгейдегі Жапон жекпе-жек түрлері өте танымал және бүкіл әлемдегі мектептерде оқытылады. Соңғы уақытта жаһандық ықпал Жапониядан келуде, ол 1970-ші жылдардан бастап осы нарықта көш бастап келеді, электронды индустрияға өзінің негізгі өнер дәстүрлерімен және видео ойын индустриясымен ықпал етуде. Жапондық мультфильмдер мен комикстер, яғни манга және аниме-бұл өткен уақыттан басталған иллюстрация дәстүрінің соңғы көрінісі және қазір ел ішінде ғана емес бүкіл әлемде үлкен аудиторияға ие. Еуропа немесе Солтүстік Американың киноиндустриясы секілді Жапония киносыда өте ескі және оның алтын ғасыры 1950 жылдары, себебі бұл жылы Куросаваның жеті самурайы фильмі кино тарихындағы ең жақсы фильмдердің бірі ретінде танылған болатын. Годзилла туралы айтпасқа болмас. Годзилла - ядролық сәулеленуге ие теңіз құбыжығы. Мен тіпті тамақ туралы айтпадым. Ғасырлар бойы жапон асxанасы өте ерекше болып табылады, бүкіл әлемге танылған тағамдары рамен кеспесі, қуырылған темпура, терияки еті мен суши болды. Шикі балық етін тек жеуге болатындай ғана емес, сонымен қатар оны өте дәмді етіп жасау - мақтауға лайық. Еуразия құрлығының шығыс шетінде оқшауланған салыстырмалы түрде кішкентай ел үшін Жапонияның жаһандық танымалдығы, әрине, таңқаларлық. Бұл елді, оның тарихын және ұзақ уақыт бойы искуссивті зерттеген гайдзин ретінде Мен әлі күнге дейін елдің және оның халқының негізгі мәнін түсінуге тырысып келемін. Жапония қандай ел? Жапондықтар кімдер? Шығыс елдерінің көп бөлігі батыстық мәдениетті өзінің ұлттық бай тарихи дәстүрлерімен және өнерімен біріктіреді. Қалайша елдің тариxта болған қатыгездігімен қоса оның жұмсақтығы мен нәзіктігін біріктіруге болады. Жапония - ғажайып сиқырға толы мекен, және мемлекет болашақтада осы атпен қала бермек.

    Great documentary, the only thing I disagree with is the Bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It was not necessary and there is enough documented evidence in the US and Japan to prove this. The Americans wanted to use those bombs, no matter what. The amount of time and resources used to study the aftermath and not to cure the victims of their suffering proves it. I've been to Japan many times and love the people and its culture.

    • @Geodiode

      It is a view I am aware of, and partially subscribe to. I was careful to state "it was reported that" regarding the casualties of a full-scale invasion so that it was not shown to be my opinion. My videos are not about historical revisionism - there are plenty of other channels that take that view. Perhaps in the fullness of time the "official" history will see the bombings in a very different light, one much more critical of their usage that resulted in such horror for the civiliians of these cities.

    This video is ok, but I have one problem with the history section: the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings weren’t done because Japan wouldn’t have surrendered otherwise, and Japan did not surrender because of the Atomic bombs dropped on those two cities. These are two inaccurate but unfortunately very commonly believed myths. The truth is that the allies had agreed earlier that year that the Soviet Union would declare war on Japan and invade in August. The US dropped the two atomic bombs to send a message to the Soviet Union. And Japan did not surrender because of the atomic bombings. They surrendered because of the Soviet declaration of war on Japan. The UA-camr Shaun made a good video on this topic, it’s called “Dropping the Bomb: Hiroshima and Nagasaki”. I highly recommend anyone reading this watch it. There’s also a Foreign Policy article titled “The Bomb Didn’t Beat Japan… Stalin Did” which is also pretty good.

    Explanation of Jomon oeriod is correct. And Jomon DNA has been continueing until present era. We Japanese are Jomon race. Don't forget invasion of Mongolia in 1274,1281.
    This narration said what Japan occupied Korea. But Japan had never fought against Korea to annex. In 1894 Japan released Korea from Qing-china by the victory of Sino-Japanese war.
    Korea had been slavish dependency of China for 1000 years long. Japan supported to establish Korean empire in 1895. Soon Korea had approached to Russia and Korea owed huge debt from Russia. So Russia took advantage of Korea in stead of the debt to build fortress inKorea. If Russia got colony on Korean peninsula, the security of the sea of Japan must be empty. So Russo-Japanese war began in 1904. Japan won Russia completely in 1905. If Japan had an ambition of territory, Japan must annex Korea in 1905. But Japan denied Korea's
    offer to join Japan. In the first place, Japanese ex-minister ITO

    The history up to the start of World War II and the history after that is an old view of history.
    Taiwan was ceded from Qing by the Sino-Japanese War, and South Korea was legally annexed by the Japan-Korea Merger Treaty.
    We were recruiting comfort women.
    It was not forced.
