Im going to go into detail about the shogun because they seemed interesting. The shogun or the shogunate was referred to a military leader of the Japanese armed forces. At one point in time, they had more power than the emperor and had control of the Samurai. The Shogun rules as a dictator that rules all of Japan.Today, retired shogun that still have power and give advice to others is called a "Shadow shogun. A shadow shogun in Japanese is called yami shogun. Some shadow shogun are former prime minister Kakuei Tanaka and politician Ichiro Ozawa.
I thought that the Daimyo had control over all the land and provinces of Japan? Could you expand for me.
ReplyDeleteYea Daimyo were the people the shogun gave land to. the Shogun basically ruled everything and then "lent" the land to the daimyo which was protected by samurai. This way, the shogun didnt have to rule over everything by himself.
