Ee ja nai ka

Ee ja nai ka (ええじゃないか) was a complex of carnivalesque religious celebrations and communal activities, often understood as social/political protests, which occurred in many parts of Japan from June 1867 to May 1868, at the end of the Edo period and the start of the Meiji Restoration. The movement originated in the Kansai region, near Kyoto. The movement spread across Japan, eventually descending to mob violence before coming to an end. The end of eijanaika was concurrent with the beginning of the Meiji Restoration and the Western-style modernization of Japan.
