Overview
Medieval Japan saw power concentrated in the hands of the great military leaders, the Shoguns, who reigned over Japan between 1185 and 1868. But how did this come to be?
In the first of two fascinating lectures on the Shoguns, join Judy Tenzing to explore their rise as they established powerful kingdoms in a world of constant threat and betrayal. Discover how the Shoguns changed the path of Japanese culture, art and religion, and laid the foundations for a period of deep isolation yet great stability in Japan.
Your Expert lecturer
After graduating in Indian History, Judy Tenzing returned to India to travel, study and ultimately work as a tour guide. Living in the great subcontinent for over a decade and continuing to travel there for over 35 years has afforded Judy both a theoretical and hands-on knowledge of the history and cultures of this extraordinary country. The Mughal Empire has always been one of her passions, along with the British Raj which succeeded it, and her understanding of these periods has led to a clear grasp of Indian in the modern era. Judy takes pride in keeping up her scholarship in this field as new perspectives emerge on eras and figures of the past - such as the new views on Aurangzeb.
