The Feudal Hierarchy: Shoguns and Daimyo

The Feudal Hierarchy: Shoguns and Daimyo is a skill on Pengi from Lesson 3: The Warrior Society and Zen in Pengi Social Studies (Grade 7).

Key Concepts

As the central government in Heian kyo weakened, Japan became a lawless place. Powerful landowners hired private armies for protection, leading to the rise of a Feudal society. At the top was the Emperor , a figurehead with no real power. The actual ruler was the Shogun , the supreme military commander.

Below the Shogun were the Daimyo , wealthy warrior lords who controlled vast provinces. They commanded armies of Samurai in exchange for land and rice. At the bottom of the hierarchy were the peasants, artisans, and merchants, who provided the food and goods that supported the warrior class.
