Onin War

---

The tensions between [onin_offensive_war_leader.GetName] and ourselves have spiraled out of control, and now war has broken out. The ramifications of this are felt throughout the Japanese islands, as our fellow daimyos begin to take sides, and alliances are brought into play.
Whoever may win this current civil war, however, it is clear that the current [Root.Overlord.GetName] Shogunate was too weak to prevent it. We are not the only ones who will have noticed this, and it is quite likely that this great war of the Onin period will result in a prolonged period of strife and warfare between the different Japanese states.

Ikko-ikki Uprising!

---

Discontent with the daimyos' endless warfare has caused a band of peasant farmers, monks and small landowners, following the Jodu Shinshu or 'Pure Land' sect of Buddhism, to openly speak out and resist [Root.Monarch.GetName]'s rule. If we do not act resolutely and quickly strike down this rag-tag band, the unrest may spread and destabilize our lands even further.

Ikko-ikki Spread to $COUNTRY$!

---

Our neighbouring daimyo's increasing trouble with the Ikko-ikki has come to a head and led to military confrontations. The brutality of the fighting has caused survivors of the sect of the Single-Minded to spill into our country, and these bands of peasants, monks and small land owers have already strengthened their numbers with followers from our own clan. They will surely only cause more and more trouble for us if we do not act swiftly and decisively.

Wokou

---

The Wokou, Japanese pirates, have become rampant in the region, raiding both Chinese and Korean shores as well as our own. Despite this, the trade embargoes enforced upon us by the Chinese mean that these pirates are our only source of Chinese and Korean goods. The increasing frequency of pirate attacks means that we can no longer remain passive; we must take a decision on how to deal with them.

The Sakoku Law

---

Our decision to seclude ourselves from the world at large has thus far succeeded in making it easier to enforce our control over the population. However, it is clear that we are hindering ourselves when it comes to the spread of new ideas and inventions. As the world around us is starting to globalize, we see our neighbors benefit from this contact with other nations, while we are left to struggle. Perhaps it is time to re-think our policy?

Rangaku

---

The Dutch have now been present on Dejima island for some time, and contact between our people and the enclave has been tightly controlled following the Sakoku law. Even so, our two cultures cannot help but spot glimpses of the other. The Dutch seem to know things that we do not, particularly in medicine, but also in science, production and mechanical engineering. Some of our richer citizens have even elected to make use of the Dutch surgeon in the enclave, rather than rely on local doctors.

It is clear there is much that could be learned from increased interaction with these visitors from the West, if we are willing to risk opening our provinces to them a bit more.

Nanban Boeki

---

Foreigners with crude manners, lacking hygiene and an inability to understand Japanese writing have landed in Japan from countries they claim are called such ridiculous names as 'Portugal' and 'the Netherlands'. These foreigners bring with them explorers, missionaries and merchants, and their presence has already started to affect our people.

Wrecked Western Ship

---

A ship from the Netherlands has reached our shores after a long and arduous voyage via what the crew calls 'the Strait of Magellan'. 'De Liefde' is apparently the only ship remaining out of a group of five, and is crewed by only 24 sick and dying men out of an original crew of over a hundred.

Its rich cargo of Western curiosities and military equipment fared far better than its crew, and should be worth quite a bit. What is more; one of the survivors, a navigator called William Adams, insists he be brought before our 'king'...

Kirishitan

---

The traders that we welcomed have only increased their presence in our country more and more. As they have, they have brought with them Catholic missionaries, backed by their home states, who have promptly begun to spread Christianity and convert the local populace en masse. If they are not stopped, these Jesuits, Franciscans and Dominicans could pose a significant threat to Shintoism.

Attempted Coup!

---

It would seem the political climate in $COUNTRY$ is not as stable as was thought. Traveling across the country, [Root.Monarch.GetTitle] [Root.Monarch.GetName] was resting at a temple near his forces when the army's general saw an opportunity and surrounded the temple complex with his forces, claiming that 'the enemy was inside'. Only the swift and decisive action of loyalist troops led to the timely rescue of the [Root.Monarch.GetTitle] and the traitor's capture.

The general's motives are unclear, and he could well have been motivated by anything from a desire for revenge to a blatant lust for power. The incident has reaffirmed [Root.Monarch.GetName]'s control over the troops, however, the brief skirmish that erupted has cost the lives of many good men, and it is clear a renewed focus will be required on internal politics to ensure that this does not occur again.

id

Jokamachi

---

Our neighbouring [Root.Monarch.GetTitle]s have begun building new forts, which they surround with Jokamachi or 'Castle Towns'. These are settled by merchants, craftsmen and samurai with no separation between the social groups and no regular allotment, ensuring that the [Root.Monarch.GetTitle]s can maintain tight control over the samurai class.

The other classes, combined with the establishment of free markets and open guilds stimulate merchandise and trade, and therefore prosperity. The Jokamachi thereby could become a means for the [Root.Monarch.GetTitle]s to increase control both in the military and economic spheres, while at the same time increasing the wealth of their countries.

Perhaps this is an idea we should look into?

Rise of Urban Culture

---

The people of $COUNTRY$ have shown an increased interest in Kabuki theater, the art of singing and dancing, and the Ukiyo-e, woodblock prints or woodcuts and paintings featuring motifs of landscapes, tales from history, the theater and pleasure quarters. Perhaps the court should show some interest in Kabuki theater or the Ukiyo-e.

Terakoya

---

The children of samurai and ruling families have always had dedicated public educational institutions, often founded by Buddhist temples. With the rise of the merchant class, the commoners have started to demand education for everyone. Some have laid forth the suggestion of terakoya, educational institutions for commoners, which would focus on teaching reading and writing to the whole population of $COUNTRY$, sometimes also teaching counting with the abacus (soroban), history, and geography. It has been clearly voiced by our people that they feel strongly about this, and that we, as their ruler, should lead the way.

Military Developments

---

The Western traders have brought with them a new weapon, called 'arquebus'. It is a matchlock gun that will probably play a critical role in future wars. Some of the samurai claim that the old way will always prevail, while others have already grasped the concept and are heartily praising the new weapon.

The Za

---

There has always been guilds, or Za, in $COUNTRY$, where merchants co-operate with temples and shrines in order to protect themselves against bandits, samurai and daimyo. The merchants transport their goods and travel in groups. Arrangements are made for them to sell their goods in temple grounds, which also places them under the auspices and protection of the temple. Some merchants in $COUNTRY$ feel that the protection from traveling in groups and the arrangement with the temples aren't enough. They have turned to you, offering a share of profits in order to gain protection, maybe some tax exemptions and other formal governmental benefits.

Rakuichi

---

The Za, the trade guilds in $COUNTRY$, have begun to grow large and powerful enough to protect themselves and are becoming independent. They already have the power to alter market prices and have begun to show signs of monopolistic activity. In order to stop the Za's monopoly, establishing free markets and guilds, or rakuichi and rakuza, might deal a severe blow to the power and influence of the older, monopolistic Za.

Ginkakuji

---

In the wake of the Higashiyama culture, people were looking for some kind of inspiration. A man in our employment suggested that we build a new temple, called Ginkaku-ji - the Temple of the Silver Pavilion - as it would be covered in silver foil. A rock garden with Zen and wabi-sabi aesthetics should be planned and added beside the temple. The simple beauty of the plans seem to be overshadowed by the inlay of silver and that suggestion was eventually removed.

Sekisho

---

After complaints of bandits roaming the countryside and attacking people on the major roads, there have been suggestions of establishing Sekisho or 'barriers' as checkpoints. They could also control the movement of people and certain goods, and at times serve to collect tolls. These defensive barriers could be of great use in case someone would attack us.

Buke Shohatto

---

The feudal lords have failed in their duty and it is time to make sure they know their responsibilities. The Buke Shohatto or 'The Various Points of Laws for Warrior Houses' was a collection of edicts governing the responsibilities and activities of daimyo and the rest of the samurai warrior aristocracy should be a start. It is supposed to be seen as a code of conduct, how to behave as an honorable daimyo, not solely laws which have to obeyed. Thus these might be followed despite our inability to enforce them directly.

Buke Shohatto

---

The ruler of Japan has issued a collection of edicts called Buke Shohatto or 'The Various Points of Laws for Warrior Houses'. It is a code of conduct, how an honorable daimyo should behave and some of the points are:
The samurai class should devote itself to pursuits appropriate to the warrior aristocracy, such as archery, swordsmanship, horsemanship, and classical literature.
Amusements and entertainments are to be kept within reasonable bounds and expenses for such activities are not to be excessive.
The han (feudal domains) are not to harbor fugitives and outlaws.

Kyoho Reforms

---

An advisor has come up with the 'Kyoho Reforms'; an array of economic policies aimed at making the shogunate financially solvent. As Confucian principles are to some extent ingrained in our government, and since they argue that money is defiling, it will be necessary to shelve certain certain of these principles if they would hamper the reform process. The reforms include the formation of merchant guilds that will allow greater control and taxation, and place an emphasis on frugality.

Confucianism

---

A new philosophy has started to spread throughout Japan. The Chinese philosopher Confucius' teachings have developed into an ethical and philosophical system called 'Confucianism', of which the core is humanism. The focus of spiritual concern is the current world and the family, instead of the afterlife and the gods, and it does not extol devotion to divine will or a higher power.

Furthermore, the central tenet of meritocracy allows all individuals of the appropriate skill to occupy positions of power, rather than restricting such positions to those of noble birth. This is convenient, as adopting these views allows us to hire a highly-skilled, yet lowborn advisor for a wage no self-respecting noble would consider.

The dominant study of Chinese, Confucian, and Buddhist texts has led to a decline in Japanese study. A few scholars have started to research the early Japanese classics, criticizing the repressive moralizing of Confucian thinkers, and attempts to re-establish Japanese culture before the influx of foreign modes of thought and behavior. They call themselves Kokugaku, or 'National Study' thinkers.

O-Ie Sodo

---

The disputes between noble families of the samurai and aristocratic classes have, of late, increasingly erupted into outright battle. If they continue, they may pose a serious threat to the stability of the political system, and should therefore be taken very seriously.

So ingrained have these feuds become in the culture that people are already starting to refer to it by name - the honorable house strife, or O-Ie Sodo. They are quite taken with the excitement of these events, due to the political and physical conflict involved.

Now, it appears the heir to $COUNTRY$ has become involved in one of these disputes, and the people are demanding his head on a plate.

Sankin Kotai

---

In order to control the daimyos of Japan a proposal of Sankin Kotai or alternate attendance has been brought up. It would mean that a daimyo would need to establish a residence in Edo and move periodically between Edo and his han, typically spending alternate years in each place. The daimyo's wife and heir shall remain in Edo as hostages. The economic strain on the daimyo should make him unable to wage war as he has to maintain lavish residences in both his Han and in Edo. The Sankin Kotai should also be a military service as each daimyo would be required to furnish a number of samurai in accordance with the assessment of his han.

Bushido

As the influx of Western weaponry and the relative internal peace after the Sengoku Jidai have reduced the military role of the samurai, these noble warriors increasingly find themselves in positions in the courts of their masters as bureaucrats or administrators. They are no doubt skilled, but some circles have expressed their sadness that the pride of our military should be relegated to such ordinary work.

The funds for repairing the main hall of Izumo Taisha has long been gathered, but Izumo no Okuni shows no sign of stopping. Her gaudy, musical, noisy and colorful performances are called Kabuki, after the kabukimono - homeless, disaffected and displaced young and old men and women outside of the society that her troupe consists of. Kabuki started as line dance and song with no plot, but it evolved into drama with the aid of Sanzaburo Ujisato, Izumo no Okuni's lover, partner and financier.
