To maintain control over Japan, the Shogun created a NEW CLASS STRUCTURE, at the top was the Shogun and the Bakufu. Then came the samurais and the daimyos (feudal lords), who could own pieces of land and have people to work on it. Then ca,e the farmers who were not allowed to stop working on their crops. After there were the artisans and then came the merchants that didn't have much to do because there was no trade. At the bottom of the class there were the out-casts, who were related to the death of animals or men and lived outside of the cities and last there were the non-humans, who were the slaves and people who didn't have any rights.

The new society in Japan was a hierarchical.
