Why the renaissance happened in Italy.

It had many important cities along with thriving merchants. It also had a good distribution of wealth and education. The people in Italy knew enough about the bible to understand what the church was doing wrong

3) Italian renaissance sculptor and painter. Famous for influencing western art. Even though he created an art piece that is still today considered a masters work of art. He didn't really enjoy painting as much as architecture and sculpting.

4) The art work is supposed to depict God coming down to Adam, giving him the spark of life.

Japan

     I have arrived in Keijokyo once again. It hasn't changed much since the last time I arrived besides its struggles growth. Though through its many struggles it always seems to com through with great inventions.

     As I arrive in Keijokyo it has the same old vibe. Strong in religion, weak in succession. The people here as as nice as any. As fact i think they are some of the best people in the world. Theses are the people who are credited for introducing Buddhism to Japan. These people that i converse with here center their lives around God and reincarnation.  They believe that they have to do good deeds in order to reach a higher level of life. This is why the treat you so well.

     Throughout my journey i notice its struggle for succession. More and more people are living on the streets and begging for goods. When i have previously come, no-one seems to beg or need anything. Ever since they had a terrible storm that destroyed most of the empire, they have never been able to fully recover and gain back power.




     The most amazing part of my trip was going to visit the Buddha Dainich. It is a 16 meter high bronze statue of Buddha. As i was here i saw many people pass through this area to worship it. This is considered an idol of worship in Japan. People come here as often as possible to worship it.
