How did the growth of towns weaken the feudal system?

What was the conclusion to Japan's feudal System?

The feudal system was meant to help organize things for people.( To help people) how it worked: what happened was that the king was at the top and then the nobles were given land that was split up so they couldn't start a rebellion and the nobles gave their land to lots of knights which gave there land to lots of peasants which farmed the land and paid taxes. the knights fought and the king gave the noble more land so that he was richer more land=richer you are! this kind of system was based on kept promises. if some promises were not kept the entire system fails. Therefore I think that the Feudal System isn't fair especially for the peasants.

What was the effect of the developement of towns on the feudal system?

The "feudal system" (or what we call the feudal system), was based on a system of lords and vassals. I lord gave out a fief, a income producing territory (sometimes a land to grow crops on, sometimes a road with permission to tax it), and that created loyalty to the lord in return for protection. The agricultural revolution led to a boom in population and because of that, these rural estates ran by lords could no longer support every child being born, so there was an urbanization that took place during this time. As a result, towns could produce goods outside of the essentials for survival and they became the center of economy. The majority of the population remained farmers, but the center of an area shifted from the rural estate to that of the city. As a result, lords lost a lot of the power they had had under the "feudal system" and the royalty began to regain a lot of the control they had lost during the rural based system some still call the "feudal system"
