  • samurai developed their own cultures that influenced Japanese culture as a whole. The culture associated with the samurai such as the tea ceremony, monochrome ink painting, rock gardens and poetry were adopted by warrior patrons throughout the centuries 1200-1600. These practices were adapted from the Chinese arts. Zen monks introduced them to Japan and they were allowed to flourish due to the interest of powerful warrior elites. Muso Soseki (1275-1351) was a Zen monk who was advisor to both Emperor Go-Daigo and General Ashikaga Takauji (1304-58). Muso as well as other monks acted as political and cultural diplomats between Japan and China. Muso was particularly well known for his garden design.Another Ashikaga patron of the arts was Yoshimasa. His cultural advisor, the Zen monk Zeami, introduced tea ceremony to him. Previously, tea had been used primarily for Buddhist monks to stay awake during meditation. samurai were the upper class, right after the royal family (which were divine.) They played a major role in government. Especially the shogun (Yoritomo, Tokugawa, hideyoshi.) They were the protection of japan.

Why did the Tokugawa shoguns consider big castles a danger to the state?

The Tokugawa shoguns viewed large castles as a potential threat to their authority because they could serve as strongholds for powerful daimyos, leading to challenges against the central government. These formidable structures could facilitate rebellion or insurrection, as they provided military power and resources to local lords. To mitigate this risk, the shogunate implemented policies that limited the construction of large castles and enforced restrictions on the daimyos' military capabilities. This helped maintain control and stability in the feudal system.

Why did the emperors have less power than shogun in tokugawa japan?

In Tokugawa Japan, the emperors had less power than the shoguns due to the rise of a feudal system where military leaders held actual control over the land and its people. The Tokugawa shogunate established a centralized government that prioritized stability and order, relegating the emperor to a ceremonial and symbolic role. Additionally, the shoguns effectively maintained power through a network of loyal daimyos (feudal lords), which further diminished the emperor's influence in political and military matters. Consequently, while the emperor remained a revered figure, real authority resided with the shogunate.
