Today, you are going to make your own Emaki chronicling the events in Japan from the ascent of the Tokugawa family to the shogunate (1600) through the Meiji Restoration (1868). Follow the directions below carefully.
1. Go to this website to read about what an Emaki is.
2. Research the major events that occurred in Japan between 1600 and 1868.
3. Find at least eight major events that you would like to include on your Emaki.
4. Take one of the "scrolls" and begin thinking about how you want to design your Emaki using picture and text. Remember the scroll is unraveled right to left and should be in chronological order.
5. Use markers and colored pencils to draw your Emaki. Remember you may also use some text.
6. You will be graded on neatness, creativity and historical accuracy.
