Answer 1

Because Japan didn't have a great deal of arable land, raising livestock was not popular. In general Japanese food in the middle ages consisted primarily of rice, vegetables and fish. Japanese peasant clothing would have consisted of cotton or hemp. Silk was expensive and could only have come from China, which Japan was at war with.

Sounds like a trick question :) Jews are required to wash their hands before eating at every meal, regardless of what they are wearing, if there will be bread served with the meal. There is no prohibition against touching, wearing, or deriving benefits from pigs. The only prohibition is against eating them. Jews can wear suede made from nonkosher animals, they can toss an old football, they can even have a pig-heart valve implanted into them during heart surgery, to save their life. Jews don't consider pigs to be inherently dirty animals, the way that Islam does. Rather, there are simply animals we can eat, and animals we can't eat. A pig is not considered any different from a camel or a horse. Edited to add - I just reread your question, and it occurred to me that maybe you're asking about it from the kashrut point of view? If you handle pork (pig meat) for any reason, then you would have to wash your hands before handling and eating kosher food. I assume that that would be true of a pig carcass, as it is also considered meat. And the same would be true of a dog or a rabbit or any other nonkosher animal. But once the meat and blood are removed, it would no longer be considered a food source and would not require special treatment before handling food, other than for hygienic reasons.

Answer 5

rice and fish if they were lucky. millet if not so lucky. or starving- a quite common occurence in medieval Japan.

I am not certain about the clothing in Japan. Of course the upper classes wore silk and silk clothing was extremely common even among the poorer sections of the society.

I think the clothing situation was the same as in China - where even the beggars wore silk clothing (of poorer quality I presume) something which shocked all the western travellers. Northern Chinese and Mongols wore clothing made from cotton, with silk for more formal purposes.

Answer 6

Clothing may be made from non-kosher animals or kosher animals that were not kosher-slaughtered. One need not wash after touching them, with the following provisions: 1 - One always must wash his hands after touching shoes. 2 - One always must wash his hands prior to meals 3 - We Jews tend to wash our hands before touching foods, even when not ritually required to do so (1 & 2, above) because we are commanded to watch our health and it is healthy to wash our hands.

Answer 7

they ate rice. sorry that's all i know about feudal japan. check out the student textbook retro active (avaliable in Australia) or head to your nearest library for books!
Also, when doing internet searches, type in feudal japan, keyword: history, instead of medieval japan
