    The Mountain Path at Utsu and the Autumn Festival were both created during the Edo period, which lasted from 1615 to 1868 C.E. During this time period, the capital shifted from Kyoto to Edo, or today's modern Tokyo.

It was not until Americans themselves began to change their opinion about their presence in Vietnam that many musicians in the record industry began to market protest.4 As the music began to mirror American opinions more and more, the popularity of many of the anti-war songs soared. In fact, many of the tunes that are still remembered from this time were released after…
