Summary
Korea and Japan continued to borrow from China throughout their histories. Japan is often mistakenly viewed as "feudal" and not a state; despite the fact that this "warring states" era in Japan was only 150 years of its total existence. The Japanese Tokugawa Shogunate (1600-1868) had far more centralized control over its land than did contemporaneous European states, for example. in Korea, the Choson dynasty intensified its borrowing of Confucinan ideas and Chinese culture.
