会話
徳川幕府についての会話です。実際に聞き取れるかどうか聞いてみましょう。
| Hiro: | John, do you know much about Japanese history? |
| John: | Not much. At university, I studied a bit about Japan's post-war reconstruction, but I don't know much beyond that. |
| Hiro: | Have you heard of Ieyasu Tokugawa? |
| John: | Umm, the name rings a bell. |
| Hiro: | Well, he's the guy who is credited with finally unifying Japan back in the 17th century after long periods of civil war. |
| John: | Yeah? |
| Hiro: | He established his government in Tokyo, or Edo as it was known back then, and his successors ruled Japan relatively peacefully for the next 250 years. |
| John: | Is that called the Tokugawa period? |
| Hiro: | Yeah, that's right! In Japanese, we usually call it the Edo-jidai. So anyway, the shogun leaders maintained power by tightly controlling the feudal lords, or daimyo. And do you know how they did it? |
| John: | No, tell me. |
| Hiro: | They made the daimyo spend every second year in Edo. |
| John: | So, why did it all come to an end? |
| Hiro: | There were a number of reasons, but basically it came down to heavy political pressure. I mean, Japan had pursued a policy of isolation during the Edo period, but many people began to realise that there were a lot of scientific and military advantages to be gained by opening up the country. |
| John: | Ah, yes. The benefits of trade! |
