    IJourney through the dramatic evolution of Japan's feudal era in this comprehensive volume that chronicles three pivotal periods of Japanese history. From the cultural renaissance of the Muromachi Period to the chaotic warfare of the Sengoku Period, and finally to the enduring peace of the Tokugawa Shogunate, this meticulously researched work brings to life the warriors, lords, and cultural icons who shaped Japan's destiny. 
    The Muromachi Period (1336-1573) explores the rise of the Ashikaga shogunate and the unique blend of warrior culture with artistic achievement. Witness the flowering of Noh theater, ink painting, and the refined aesthetics of the "higashiyama culture" even as political power fragmented among regional warlords and Buddhist monasteries wielded military might. 
    The Sengoku Period (1467-1615) thrusts readers into Japan's turbulent "Age of Warring States," where legendary daimyo like Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and Tokugawa Ieyasu fought for supremacy. Experience the battlefield innovations, castle-building, and strategic alliances that transformed Japan's military landscape, while Portuguese firearms and Christian missionaries added new dimensions to the struggle. 
    The Tokugawa Shogunate (1603-1868) reveals how the Tokugawa clan established Japan's longest-lasting feudal government, creating an intricate social hierarchy and isolationist foreign policy that preserved peace for over 250 years. Discover how this period of stability led to the rise of the merchant class, the flourishing of ukiyo-e art, kabuki theater, and the vibrant urban culture of Edo (modern Tokyo). 
    Richly illustrated and accessibly written, this three-in-one volume provides both newcomers and history enthusiasts with a definitive guide to understanding how the interplay of war, culture, and governance shaped Japan's feudal society and continues to influence the nation today.

    Deeping It - Colonialism Culture...

    Deeping It analyses drill's fight against moral panic and its fraught relationship with the police and political authority in the UK, exemplified by constant censorship, racism, and moments such as when a drill duo became the first people in British legal history to receive a prison sentence for simply performing a song.
    Policing, policy and criminalisation are the cornerstones of colonial suppression; art, self-expression and collective action are beacons of resistance. Deeping It places drill firmly in the latter category, tracing its production and criminalisation across borders and eras of the British Empire, exploring drill's artistic singularity but also its inherent threat as a Black artform in a world that prioritises whiteness.
    Intervening on this discourse steeped in anti-Blackness, this Inkling 'deeps' how the criminalisation of UK drill cannot be disentangled from histories, technologies, and realities of colonialism and consumerism.
