how is feudal japanese society structured
A feudal system
European feudal societies were primarily determined by a rigid hierarchy based on land ownership, where kings granted land to nobles in exchange for military service, while peasants worked the land in return for protection. In contrast, Japanese feudal society was characterized by a system of samurai loyalty to daimyos (feudal lords), with the shogun at the top, emphasizing honor, martial skills, and clan loyalty. Both societies were marked by a strong emphasis on land as a source of power and social status, though the cultural and philosophical underpinnings differed significantly.
