The Rise of the Shoguns Weak emperors began to emerge in Japan- regents had to run the show. Most regents would not give up power Regents came from the Fujiwara clan The Fujiwara gave land to nobles- nobles made peasants pay taxes to them. To protect the land, nobles hired private warriors or sammurai

CONTINUED…………. Gempei war was between two families over land. The winner was a family called the Minamto Fearful that the Minamoto may take over, the emperor gave Minamoto Yoritomo the title of SHOGUN. A SHOGUN was the commander of all military forces in Japan

Shogunates… continued The rule of shoguns throughout Japan was called a shogunate. Each shogunate was named for the family that ruled. Ex; Minomoto shogunate, Kamakura shogunate Shoguns become weak over time and samurai began to lose trust in their rule As a result, Japan divides itself into small territories and daimyos or military lords rule these small areas

bellringer Define the word “feudalism” Finish your Graphic organizer on Medieval Japan Be ready to discuss organizational chart that we worked on yesterday.

Rule of the Daimyo Daimyos ruled under a system we call feudalism. Feudalism is a system of rule in which lesser groups vow loyalty to a local lord.

Here’s how Japanese feudalism worked. A Daimyo pledged loyalty to a shogun and emporer. Daimyos created their own local armies to protect the land. Peasants of the region vowed loyalty to the daimyo because he would protect them.
