Am I right?
I am stark beat. Going to lay down but first, C&Ping this because I am curious. Removed formatting and references/links.
When I come back, I'll talk about mecha fiction.
What I want to know is if I'm right or not?
OK
Feudal Europe
Feudal Japan
King
Emperor
Manor Lords (ie: Baron)
Shogun (Commander) & Daimyo
Knights
Samurai
Serf
Peasants ("Serf" entails the same)
Feudalism is a type of land management through a pattern of mutual deals between leaders and peasantry. It appeared in Europe and Asia.
When the Japanese Imperial Court declined in power, the Shogun reigned as the de-facto leader of Japan for many centuries. The mighty Shogun gave lands, called fiefs ( \fēf\ ) to nobles, who become loyal Daimyo.
Daimyo exercised control over the fiefs by gathering soldiers called samurai, who provide military service for daimyo as vassals or retainers (家臣団). In return, samurai gained the land. Lastly, legal protection are given to the peasants, who supply labor and heavy taxes for the ones above them. The reward of land is exchanged by service; the receiver of the land would become a vassal to the land giver.
The peasantry class made up most of Japan. They had to work around the clock, and were not allowed to leave their land. Some were allowed to be chartered into the military. This way, stability and security was assured. The lands in Feudalism are manors; in Japanese, that is called shōen (荘園 or 庄園, the first symbols meaning "sho" can mean villa and manor).
The importance of each kuni was measured by the amount of Koku (180 litres). Koku provided the all-around income and taxes.
