What is the realtionship between a samurai and a daimyo?
All Daimyo are Samurai but not all samurai are Daimyo- the classical relationship would be Master and servant- yet that does not tell it all, as both parties had very specific rights and responsibilities towards each other.
What were powerful lords called in japan?
The top ruler was the emperor. His right hand men were the shoguns, which each looked after a region. The daimyo were the administrators under the shogun. The role of emperor was removed from office with a major civil revolution. The top shogun took this position and led Japan, until another revolution reinstated the emperor.
What is a shogun samurai?
Story: SHOGUN'S SAMURAI follows an epic war between two brothers over their father Shogun Hidetada's death and who will rightfully claim the throne, a position he had desired for his eldest son. The intrigue runs deeper with the Yagyu clan and nobles pulling the strings in this conflict, each vying for the fruition of their own desires, such as the nobles' wish to restore power to the Emperor. Review: SHOGUN'S SAMURAI can seem a bit overwhelming at first. As the rousing opening theme and credits come to a close, the narrator sets up the plot and whizzes through an exhaustive list of characters involved in backing one of the two heirs to the Shogunate. Though it looks like a Dramatis Personae from hell, once the narration ends Fukasaku's handling of the story and introductions to key characters flows perfectly and there are no problems in following the exciting blend of fiction and fact.As Patrick Macias mentions in the DVD's liner notes (a document you'll find to be much richer in the historical aspect of this film's creation than what little is touched upon in this review), SHOGUN'S SAMURAI was Kinji Fukasaku's first attempt at making a period film, only preceded by his 1972 TV series SURE DEATH!. The movie itself doesn't try to disguise its mixed history lesson. Strung together with could-have-beens and maybes, the narration proclaims in the end that what truly happened is not entirely known. This "What If?" script penned by Fukasaku along with Hiro Matsuda and Tatsuo Nogami puts interesting spins on what is known about this bit of history that has been told time and time again.One big example of uncertainty is the tale of Yagyu Jubei (another character we have all doubtlessly seen before, whether it be in the anime NINJA SCROLL or films like SAMURAI REINCARNATION and the REBORN FROM HELL series) and the true fate of heirs Iemitsu and Tadanaga. Regardless of what may or may not have truly happened, the taste of what's brewing in Fukasaku's pipe is a sweet one.Kinji Fukasaku's skill at drama and conspiracy shines in SHOGUN'S SAMURAI. Throw suits, guns, and a different dialect over everything else and you would have one of his finest yakuza movies, a genre that this Jidai Geki isn't far separated from. There's betrayal around every corner and an ever-developing sense that "something bigger" is really going on behind all of the disputing over the Shogun's heir. Aside from that correlation, which is a major result of all the in-house brewings and secrecy, this Fukasaku "joint" is just ridiculously epic. It's really important to watch the whole movie in one sitting, despite a few parts that some may find slow and consider taking a break on, the impact of the ending is inevitably dulled by consuming the film in smaller portions.Action is crucial and the violence is never gratuitous. While it's not completely full of amazing swordplay, the battles in SHOGUN'S SAMURAI are spread out evenly and used to the maximum effect at focal points of particular moments of political conflict in the story. The intensity of the fights grows along with the scale as the movie progresses, and the final battles are brutal and heavily aided by some sporadic handheld camera action, really driving this home as a Fukasaku flick.To say that the cast in this movie is astounding is an understatement. It's like a huge Japanese film nerd was given the ability to pick his dream cast and put them all in a rousing period epic. Sonny Chiba's first appearance in this film is just as you would expect it, revealing himself as the legendary Yagyu Jubei moments after cleanly lobbing a ninja's head off. It's a shame that Sonny Chiba is now more well-known in the US for his brief role in KILL BILL than anything else. For fans that have been living off of the cheapo sets like any of the hundred variations of STREET FIGHTER multi-packs or the more recent "Kill Chiba" movie collection, SHOGUN'S SAMURAI should be essential viewing. Add the fact that Tetsuro Tamba, Toshiro Mifune, Hiroyuki Sanada, and Kinnosuke Yorozuya front the star marquis and you have a deadly combination of legendary Japanese film figureheads.Just watching the movie, you can imagine the Japanese trailer with endless strings of boastful slogans and enthusiastic selling points splattered across the screen. "A tough drama about strong people" is one set of characters actually strewn over the film during the trailer, and that sums up the movie, however general it might be. This plays into the fact that you can watch the movie without a "good guy" predetermined for you. While Iemitsu might seem the likely candidate for "evil", the true villains in the war for the Shogunate are those manipulating every facet of the struggle. The web of deceit is long, sticky, and strung in and out of characters to the point that you'll wonder what is or isn't a trap waiting to happen. Nobles, farmers, Samurai, Ronin, and more all play an equal part in deception and battle. There is a lot going on in the movie and it is all pretty damn fantastic.SHOGUN'S SAMURAI is a long and rewarding watch. Period conspiracies make for a beefy viewing experience that everyone should enjoy to the fullest. There's no need to insert any "if you're a fan of…" lines to this recommendation. If you haven't seen it yet, watch it, period.

Samurai were soldiers, as a group they had no enemies of their own. the question might be clearer that way: "who are the enemies of soldiers?" the answer is, the current enemies of whom they happen to serve. Other samurai. The Samurai were soldiers that worked for war lords and rulers throughout Japan. The samurai were hired by Shoguns so their enemies were the enemies of their Shogun.

How did samurai became a samurai?
The Samurai class developed through various stages beginning with the reformation period of the mid 7th century AD, up to their end in 1877. The term "Samurai" means "to serve nobility." Initially, the wealthy land owners of the 7th century needed protection, so they paid skilled warriors (sometimes their own relatives or just hired swordsmen) to defend their land and wealth. This lowly warrior class lived by a motto to serve their lords, and fight to the death. By the 900's, the ruling class and Emperor of Japan had lost much power in rural areas, and the Samurai took over to become a more powerful and prominent warrior class. By 1100, the Samurai also held some political offices and virtually ran the country by military rule. As clans of royal families fought for power, their own warrior class was most likely made up of family members trained to be Samurai. In the later part of the 12th century AD, the ruling class instituted the title of "Shogunate," where the "Shogun" (Military Generals) held ever changing power as a military dictators. The Shogun often fought to put down rebellion of other Samurai clans and tribes vying for power over Japan. Over the next several centuries, various clans gained and lost control of the country with their own Shogun and Samurai being in charge until the decline of the Samurai and Shogunate during the Meiji Restoration of the mid 19th century. Most of the Samurai were likely groomed from the children born in each clan's village, and trained in horseback riding, archery, and swordsmanship to become warriors, and Samurai serving their lords. The Samurai of the Emperor where likely relatives of the ruling family.

What was the relationship between the daimyo and his samurai and peasnts?
The Samurai in the Peasants view:Where said to have been money, hungry, corrupt gangsters and killers who oppressed the peasants. They only used religion and spirituality to give themselves "purpose" during peace time. It is clear that the Samurai oppressed the peasant and merchant class; this was the case of where the lowest common class is oppressed by the more socially astute class.Basically they saw the Samurai, NOT in a good way, becuase they were the lowest of the Japanese Feudal system!!!!!
