Japan History
What are some of the main points about Japan History? How has Japan History impacted the world?
400-year-old documents reveal evidence of Japanese opium production and winemaking. In 2016, researchers reported that a Kyusyu lord ordered his people to produce wine in the 17th century. Further research has revealed that he also ordered the production of opium. It is thought that wine was used as gifts and medicine, and opium for medicine. The documents reveal that while the Japanese government was considering a ban on Christianity, the Hosokawa family seems to have actively imported goods, such as wine, from Portugal. Source 2c.
I find the ancient world fascinating throughout the world, and Japan is no different. Think of all the things we wouldn't have because of someone in that time figuring it out. You can learn a lot about what we have now if you know about the history of then.
