There are various era divisions in Japanese history, and there is nothing that can be called an established theory. Historical research is widely accepted as a method of dividing the period between (primitive), ancient, medieval, early modern, and modern. Even in this case, when to set the epoch of each era varies greatly depending on the controversy.

Regarding the beginning of ancient times, there are different views over the time of the formation of the ancient state. For the medieval period, the manor public territory system, which was a socio-economic system throughout the middle ages, was regarded as an indicator of the era. Each is required for the Dazai site in the second half of the 16th century. The modern times began before and after the Dazai site,

It is supposed to end before and after. The beginning of modern times is generally considered to be from the end of the Edo period to the Meiji Restoration period, but there is also an idea that the rise of the household machinery industry in the first half of the 18th century is the beginning of modern times. Furthermore, the modern world and the present day may be distinguished by the defeat in the Second World War, but recently, in the history of Japan, the cold war structure has collapsed at the boundary between the modern and the modern, and the economy has risen due to the collapse of the bubble. Some argue that it should be changed around 1990 when growth is over.

The above-mentioned period division theory is influenced by the developmental history view, and it is pointed out that there is a limit to not paying much attention to the stratification and continuity of history. For this reason, some researchers have begun to advocate “the transition theory”, which is regarded as a transition rather than a subject to distinguish the times.

A well-known era division is an era division that focuses mainly on the location of the political center. This period division does not have a clear division standard and is not suitable as a period division in historical research. It is an age division that is merely used for convenience. The period when the archaeological historical material remains without the historical material is according to the archaeological period classification, the Paleolithic period, Jomon period, Yayoi period

Distinguished from the Kofun period. From the period when historical documents remain to some extent, according to the location of the political center, Asuka period (Asoka village), Nara period (Nara city), Heian period (Kyoto city), Kamakura period (Kamakura city), Murom chi period (Kyoto city)・ Azuchi-Momoyama period (Azuchi-cho, Fushimi-ku, Kyoto) and Edo period (Tokyo). However, this is not always enough, so we set up the divisions of the North and South Dynasty in the early Murom chi period, the Sengoku period in the late Murom chi period, and the end of the Edo period in the late Edo period. is there. After the Edo period, the Emperor ’s reign period
