Japanese feudalism and European feudalism both featured a hierarchical structure based on land ownership and loyalty. In Japan, land was controlled by powerful lords known as daimyo, who granted land to samurai in exchange for military service, similar to the European system where lords provided land (fiefs) to vassals for their allegiance.
