#160 What Was the Sengoku Period? — Learn Japanese Through History (N5–N3)

What was Japan's Sengoku period (戦国時代 / sengoku jidai), and why does it appear in so many anime, manga, and games? This is Episode 1 of our new mini-series on Japanese history, made for JLPT N5–N3 learners. In about seven minutes, you'll learn what the Warring States period was, when it began (the Ōnin War of 1467), and the key idea behind it — gekokujō (下剋上), the lower overthrowing those above. You'll also pick up six essential words: 戦国時代, 下剋上 (gekokujō), 大名 (daimyō), 天下 (tenka), 天下統一 (tenka tōitsu), and 武将 (bushō). In our "Japanese You Can Still Use Today" corner, we look at how 下剋上 is used in modern sports and everyday life. Next episode: Oda Nobunaga (織田信長), the revolutionary who changed the era. 🚀 NEXT STEPS FOR YOUR JAPANESE💻Systematic Learning (Self-Study)🎁 Podcast Listener Reward: Claim your exclusive discount through the link below:https://www.udemy.com/course/intermediate-japanese-jlpt-n3-course1/?couponCode=JULY26_NIHONGOCANDY [https://www.udemy.com/course/intermediate-japanese-jlpt-n3-course1/?couponCode=JULY26_NIHONGOCANDY]💻Executive Private Coaching (Live):https://www.welcjp.com/forindividuals [https://www.welcjp.com/forindividuals]📱 LinkedIn:www.linkedin.com/in/mikisasakiwelc [http://www.linkedin.com/in/mikisasakiwelc] #NihongoCandy #LearnJapanese #JapaneseVocabulary #JLPTN5 #JLPTN4 #JLPTN3 #JapaneseForTravel #TravelInJapan #SpeakJapanese #JapanesePhrases #LivingInJapan #JapaneseConversation
