Chapter Test, Document-Based Questions

DIRECTIONS: Short Answer Answer each of the following questions on a separate piece of paper.

“[C]ertain problems were discovered with the close-lacing of the cords of the armour. According to the seventeenth-century authority, Sakakibara Kozan:

“‘. . . when soaked with water they are very heavy and cannot be quickly dried, so that in summer the weight is oppressive [hot] and in winter the whole may freeze. Moreover no amount of washing will completely free the lacing from any mud which may have penetrated it, so that on a long and distant campaign it becomes evil-smelling and overrun by ants and lice, with consequent [resulting] ill eff ects upon the health of the wearer.’”

—Stephen Turnbull, The Samurai: A Military History

1. What is the main idea of this passage?

2. What can you conclude about the samurai from this passage?

“Zipangu [Japan] is an island in the eastern ocean, situated at the distance of about fi fteen hundred miles from the main-land. . . [I]ts inhabitants have fair complexions, are well made, and are civilized in their manners. Their religion is the worship of idols. They are independent of every foreign power, and governed only by their own kings. They have gold in the greatest abundance, its sources being inexhaustible. . . In this island there are pearls also, in large quantities, of a red (pink) colour, round in shape, and of great size, equal in value to, or even exceeding that of the white pearls. It is customary with one part of the inhabitants to bury their dead, and with another part to burn them. The former have a practice of putting one of these pearls into the mouth of the corpse. There are also found there a number of precious stones.”

—from The Travels of Marco Polo
