Europe and Japan were both feudal societies. Feudal systems contain hierarchies. The hierarchies in Japan and Europe were similar: king/emperor on the top, nobles next, then knights/samurai, then merchants and craftsmen, and lastly, peasants and serfs.
They have a system of government that is almost exactly the same. JPN EURO Emperor - God Shogun - King Daimyo - Nobles Samurai - Knights Peasants - Serfs

Feudalism
Serfs in Russia were similar to feudal peasants in medieval Europe, bound to the land and under the control of landowners. They worked the land in exchange for protection and a place to live but had limited personal freedoms and could not leave the estate without permission. This system of serfdom persisted until the 1861 emancipation reform, which aimed to improve the conditions of serfs and integrate them into the broader economy.
