Japan in the Edo Period – A Time of Culture

The Edo period brought stability to Japan. As violence and warfare became a thing of the past, Japan’s arts and culture began to thrive under the leadership of a series of Emperors and their Shoguns. Because the Edo period also saw Japan rejecting foreign influence and isolating itself, this culture became particularly distinctive from that of other countries – and remains to this very day! In this activity, you will learn more about the culture of Japan, and use your findings to produce your own virtual exhibition or travel brochure.
