Many countries or cultures have what we call a "golden age". In Ancient Greece that was somewhere between the 6th and the 4th century BCE. In Ancient Rome, it was about from 50 BCE to 150 CE. In England it coincided with the reigns of Queen Elizabeth (late 17th century) and Queen Victoria (most of the 19th century). In France it was the 18th and early 19th century. In the Netherlands it was offiially from 1584 to 1702. In the USA, it could have been the late 19th century or the 1950's.
What period do you think best fit the description of golden age for Japan ? I personally hesitate between the Heian period, the Sengoku and early Edo period, the Meiji period, or the 1980's.
Your opinion ?
