Pick the three most significant turning points in the formation and evolution of the early Japanese state and rulership. In answering this question, consider important figures and influences that contributed to the eventual formation of classical Japanese political and social institutions. Feel free to draw on events and examples from any of the Week 1 materials including any of the historical periods we discussed.
