Daily life in Japan

 Japan was a closed society that didn´t want other countries to control them like China. Until the middle 19 century they were closed to the commerce. This caused that their daily life was very different from the life on other place. One of the most important aspects on those times was the presence of the religion. Until the 19 century, they were buddhists but the emperor wanted to impose the Shintoism to the empire, this caused a period of social instability because society was divided in 2 groups. If we look to the people´s work there are also many differences. I could prove that it was a sexist society because women couldn´t do many things and they depended on a man, although this, they were also women that could fight. They were called kunoichi and helped spying people because anybody suspected of a woman and they used a big variety of poisons for killing others. These women were very respected because of their big capacity.
 Their daily food consisted on rice and fish. They didn´t eat meat because of their religion. Their clothes changed depending on the work. For example, a person that worked on agriculture had other clothes than a person dedicated to the war, like a samurai that was different to a political charge.
