Was the Meiji restoration and "restoring power to the emperor" a good or bad thing in 18th century Japan for the peasants? It marked the upper class revolution that caused the samurai feudal system to transition into a capitalist system. (Which ultimately turned into a racist imperialist empire that tried to invade and oppress all of its neighbors in Asia in a sort of fascist system, and as Japan lost the war the people starved and suffered greatly.)

I have a question about Jiraiya Gouketsu Monogatari. Naruto made the character pretty well known and popular, however the original story is pretty old, and I was wondering how well known the character was in Japan prior to Naruto's popularization of him.
Besides the 1921 silent film (video 1 related)
I found the following references in media before Naruto got published
- Jiraiya- A character that appears in the novel " Jiraiya Ninpocho " by Futaro Yamada, which began serializing in September 1964 . A character with the name of Tsunade also appears in the work.
- Jikaminari也- 1966 publication of Toei of special effects era feature film " The Magic Serpent hero of". Tsunade also appears.
- Commander Jiraiya- A character that appears in the TV anime " Invincible Steel Man Daitan 3 " broadcast from June 1978 to March 1979 .
- Magnetic Raiya- The main character of Toei 's special effects drama " Sekai Ninja Sen Jiraiya, " which was broadcast from January 1988 to January 1989 .
- Jiraiya (read "Jiraia") The character in the Hudson game "Far East of Eden" series and the main character of the first game " Far East of Eden ZIRIA ". Characters with the names of Tsunade and Orochimaru also appear in the work.
- Jirayan- A character that appears in the TV anime "Karakuri Kengoden Musashi Road" that was broadcast from October 1990 to September 1991.
- Ninja Black Jiraiya- Ninja who appears in Toei's special effects drama " Ninja Sentai Kakuranger "broadcast from February 1994 to February 1995. A setting called the descendant of Jiraiya who appears in "Jiraiya Goketsutan".

Excellent Russian video analyzing the Dzaibutsu of Imperial Japan and how they brought about militarism in the country with economic analysis. This is part 2 of Imperial Japan from a dialectical analysis

Minimata and the tragedy of the death factory covered by Suren
BadComedian 3 months ago (edited):
''Начал подготовку к обзору фильма ЧЕРНОБЫЛЬ и посмотрел картину про ещё одно загрязнение природы, а именно - про слив ртути и других вкусностей в залив Минамата.
Контора Chisso годами отравляла территорию Японии и уничтожала/уродовала живность, включая людей, несмотря на протесты. Фильм пытается раскрыть данный инцидент от лица уставшего от жизни журналиста Юджина Смита, который сделает исторический снимок "Томоко Уэмура в ванне" (искать в гугле), чем ещё больше привлечёт внимание к похуизму конторы Chisso.
Гнетущая атмосфера, поломанные судьбы, измученные дети и взрослые - всё это в фильме есть. Есть и история самого Юджина Смита, роль которого исполнил Джонни Депп. Хоть я и люблю этого актёра, но мне кажется, что на роль Юджина Смита он не очень подходит. Хотя опять же, имя Деппа привлекает внимание к самому фильму и это замечательно.
К сожалению фильм не расскажет о связях Chisso с якудза и не будет детального раскрытия давления на представителей протеста. Фильм задевает эту тему по касательной, а столько всего интересного в этой истории есть. Да и тему с фильтрами не особо раскрыли: контора Chisso поставила очистительные сооружения и заверила, что теперь вся вода, что попадает в залив, настолько чистая, что её пить можно! И её выпил сам глава компании… Но выяснилось, что пил он заранее налитую чистую воду, а фильтры вообще ничего не очищали.''
Если соберётесь смотреть, то в дополнение посмотрите ролик Сурена на эту же тему.

>>6994 >discusses the navy heirarchy link on the topic of the Japanese Navy - their doctrine, the Kantai Kessen (Japanese Decisive Battle Doctrine)
Drachinifel as a channel isn't 100% accurate (limited by English/Western sources) mostly in regards to the Soviet and Russian Navy, but outside of that is quite accurate and nuanced in his discussion.
I liked this comment joke

>>7977 Its time for a story
>emperor fōr-channū gets old and has to follow the shitoposto traditions by retiring to an old cave in the mountain of kekyama where he has to practice the old jutsu of masturbating with only two fingers for 14 years in order to gain the blessing of the kami of basedness, his title as emperor is later passed to his brother redditu, marking the beggining of the hōmō periode, famous for multiple suckings of the cock of china. >emperor redditu gets triggered by the rasengan clan because they paid him 69419 rice bags in tribute instead of the funi 69420 number, insults the diplomat of rasengan for this shamfur dispray, and orders him to commit sodouku 69420 times to retain the honor of his family, or have them all canceled from japan. >a giant civil war occure as many clans can no longer handle the emperor's bullshit. >then finally, after 25 years of chaos daimyo CHADIMOTO of the chinletO clan, with his wits, intelligence, the fact that he is the only one who knew how taxes work(the less the better) and a few muskets he bought from some dutch guy called "ver is mein willy", managed to BTFO all the other pleb clans, claims the title of SHOTGUN, and ousted the old emperor and replaced him with fōr-channū's son, ate channū, ending by that the long decade of chaos and normieness. >as a reward for returning order and prosperity to japan, ate-channū gifted the shotgun chadimoto with three gifts: <the title of /ourguy/. <centurii-chan as a bride for him. <a mysterious coin that can turn him into any race he ever wish to be And that is the story of chadimoto chinleto, they all lived happily ever after, exept for redditū who escaped and swore to comeback for revenge someday.

>what's with the ancient Japanese and this gay haircut? Supposedly this hairstyle was to keep the helmet in place, but that's kind of bullshit IMO. More likely people did this because japan has a culture of worshiping any authority figure so people shaved their heads as a sign of respect for their balding samurai boss: Male-pattern baldness had been common in Japan due to poor food availability, which is the reason Japanese people tended to be - and still are in some regards - smaller than average human size and often had fragile bones and poor tooth/jaw structure, after all there is good reason that depictions of feudal Japan in modern media like anime (pic 3 - Inuyasha) often feature balding farmers and bandits, but I digress.
TL;DR: Male pattern baldness was and remains pretty common in Japan, so a hairstyle that works with baldness has some practical purposes and became socially enforced.
This is also similar to Medieval Christian monks.

>>1855 It was objectively a good thing for Japanese peasents as it made the country an industrialised imperialist capitalist state. Samurai rule was as evil and economically poor as it was in any feudalistic society.
I disagree with you when you say that they don't look impressive. I think it is also wrong to say their hairdo is objectively ugly. This is just chauvinism.

>>10546 >>18350 >>7853 >>7247 >>6994 At some point I need to upload these as mp4s, either directly here or through catbox or whatever. In the meantime I suggest seeing 2 videos related to the samurai by the youtube channel Voices of the Past
It really demonstrates the reality of samurai and the entire culture and society in Japan in that time, the vileness that drove Akira Kurosawa to make films like Seven Samurai.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQY3dbUsVgE An interesting glimpse into the material development and acceleration of late-Imperial Japan
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZ_Z8WFCLzE I should also go into the Keicho Embassy, as its an interestingly forgotten piece of Japanese history.
I'll also may do an analysis of The Shogun at some point, though I may make that a separate thread in /hobby/
