They may have gone further but I am not certain. The pirate raids on Korea were so devastating that they even lead to the collapse of the Korean dynasty.owenandbenjaminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09474307542498791351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26681372.post-65656051441999455442009-02-06T20:01:00.000-08:002009-02-06T20:01:00.000-08:00This is a part of Japanese history I need to read ...This is a part of Japanese history I need to read more about.

I believe they were not controlled by the state because the the two previous shogunates, the Kamakura and the Ashikaga, were not as powerful as that of the Tokugawa in terms of controlling the entire nation.owenandbenjaminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09474307542498791351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26681372.post-58939954919339527652009-02-05T05:43:00.000-08:002009-02-05T05:43:00.000-08:00That's pretty interesting.

All you ever hear about Japanese maritime exploits is that the Tokugawa Shogunate regulated it so strictly. <BR/><BR/>I wonder how much of those pirates who raided Korea and China were actually paid employees of the State, like the Privateers of Europe.<BR/><BR/>Just one more reason why being a farmer in ancient Japan was no fun!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16281940569899613582noreply@blogger.com
