【Japanese History】Mapping Japanese History vol.1 and 2

Discover Japanese History with a Revolutionary "Mapping" Approach

Tired of memorizing dates and names? Uncover a new perspective on Japan's rich past with "Mapping Japanese History," a unique course designed for anyone seeking a deeper, more engaging understanding.

This course flips the traditional history lesson on its head. Instead of starting with details, we begin with the broad historical structure and gradually delve into specific events and figures. Explore the historical backgrounds of iconic cities like Tokyo, Kyoto, Nara, and Kamakura, tracing the evolution from the Long Ago, Noble, and Samurai Periods.

Developed since 2003 at Crea Academy in Tokyo, this "Trunk to Branches" method prioritizes real understanding over rote memorization. We start with the main historical concepts – the "trunk" of the Japanese history tree – and then add layers of detail – the "branches" – through repeated exploration of our historical "map."

Learn about the key events and cultural shifts that shaped Japan, gaining insights into its society, politics, and traditions. Prepare to have your views on Japan, history, and even the way you learn transformed.
