    Uploaded by

    Amanda Vieira
    The document argues that the 18th century in Japan was the best time to be alive. It provides three reasons for this: it was a peaceful time as samurai became government workers instead of soldiers; people lived long lives compared to Europe; and the arts flourished through developments like kabuki drama. Evidence also suggests it was a time of political protest and cultural expression through merchant clothing styles. Overall, the document concludes that the 1700s represented a very good time to live in Japan.
