Everyday Life in Ancient Japan - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

**serius_06** · 01-26-2009, 01:02 AM

For a project that's due on Wednesday, I need some info on everyday life in ancient Japan.

I've looked on the internet, there's lots of info, but not quite the info I need.

If you know anything, please tell me. Not sure what time period, but tell me anyway.

Thanks in advance.

Okay so I can't give you much, but I have alot of Japanese friends, and I can tell you that from what they tell me, it was hardcore.

Like, you slaved in the fields, or you worked hard in factories, and wages were low.

As for going really far back, I can tell you that there was a lot of myths, and the culture was extremely strong in Japan. I think that's why I look up to it so much.

I'm sorry I only know about modern stuff. >_

Reading the title of the post, I wasn't surprised that Steve would be the first person to reply....

Dont worry Steve. My crush is fully caucasian too but he is madly in love with Japan too. He knows Japanese pretty well and is in Japan club meetings every 3 seconds. He has so many Japanese friends its not funny. So you're not the only one!

He doesn't know much about cars though so I managed to teach him and keep him away from Skylines and other cars for people with Popped collars

He likes German cars now, though I said liking Mazda was okay. LOL.

It's OK now, guys, I've pulled something together.

I am curious why you went looking on the internet for such information? yes there are some great sites out there and wikipedia has a lot of good information but it is not a primary source and should not be considered one. Sometimes information on there can be wrong.

Why don't young people use the library anymore? There are a ton of books on varying subjects that can be easily found in the library that contain more than plenty of information that is availble online.

People so lazy these days.

... because I live in a deprived area where the library is closed down???
