I'm sorry, let me add context for that question. I am a history teacher and this is my first year teaching AP world history. I've attached a pic of the textbook reading on this subject. It reads, "in contrast to the solemn, serious proceedings of the imperial court and the bakufu, the popular culture of urban residents was secular, satirical, and even scatological."
The text then goes on and never provides any further explanation. Any insight would be appreciated!
