The Heian period is known for its cultural achievements. This shows the power of ideas because culture is an idea. An example of this is how the social hierarchy was a part of Japanese culture, so the people that were of high social status had the power of wealth and leadership because of the power of ideas. They keep this power because it's part of their culture, and many people follow that culture.

The shogun created a system where they had a big number of people (samurai) loyal to them. For example, samurai would "commit" seppuku if the shogun had died. This means that it was normal for samurai to die for their shogun. They are that loyal to the shogun. He had the power of numbers, social norms, and maybe state action.

The Samurai use the power of physical force to defeat their enemy and train. They also use the power of ideas to come up with strategies to defeat their enemy and so that they can win their battle and so that the Daimyo keep having them as their warriors. The Daimyo are protected because they are hiring the Samurai to fight for them so that they maintain power and can be higher on the social status pyramid.

Through the power of State Action aristocrats and/or nobles of the Heian Period such as the Fujiwara family maintained their power through the privileges they already have. Using the Fujiwara family as an example, people of their family who were advisors of the emperor would advise the ruler to retire sooner so the young air of the throne would be in power. Because of their lack of experience & training, a regent would have to take power instead in the young ruler's name. This regent would be a member of the Fujiwara family as they were at a high enough status on the scale hierarchy to take such a role.

1. Who had power in the Heian Period?
The aristocrats (the richest of the rich, essentially) held power in the Heian society.
2. What kinds of power did they hold?
The aristocrats held the power of state action, since they were the government, with the control of the army (goes hand-in-hand with state action), they had the power of physical force as well. They held the power of ideas and social norms, since they innovated and it was eventually their accounts that tell us about Heian life, and as rich people they determined what was socially acceptable for Japanese people. They of course had the power of wealth - their status as aristocrats came from that, after all. Eventually, the only power the did not have was numbers - aristocrats were just a fraction of the population and the peasants outnumbered them by far.

3. How did they protect their power?

Aristocrats in the Heian time period jealously guarded the source of all the rest of the power

The Fujiwara insured that their clan members would dominate the court by marrying their daughters into royalty to secure thrones, or having a Fujiwara regent to make decisions for the emperor. Then, the emperor could hire other Fujiwara members for the court and in a sense have a monopoly over the court.

One example of Prince Shotoku protecting his power was the creation of the 17 Article Constitution. One of the laws in the Constitution (Article 3) states that all must obey Imperial commands, or follow the emperor's orders. This protected Shotoku's power using the power of state action by making all others follow his directions by law.

The Shogun first overcame the other Daimyos, becoming the leader, and forced them to take trips back and forth to the capital and their home so they could not organize revolts. They used the power of State Action to pass laws that enforced loyalty, and required them to respect him. Also, the samurai had the power of social norms. If one of them dishonored their family or fellow samurai, they would commit ritualistic suicides.

The officials in the government wether it be the Daimyo's or the Emperor would create laws that favor them and their position which is a use of state action, also they would employ samurai that would be loyal to them in exchange for land(vassals). This uses both wealth and physical force.

The daimyo used wealth to pay the samurais to work for them. Since samurai have a high physical stature they can give one high ruler like a daimyo a chance to compete with other fellow powerful rulers. They use the physical force of a samurai to their advantage.

Ideas came from Korea, China, and India by trade to Japan, so Prince Shotoku used these ideas to build his power (such as building Buddhist temples). He also created the Seventeen Article Constitution, where he used the power of state action to use the constitution and keep things in line. The Seventeen Article Constitution protected the "few intelligent men" in households, and decreed that with harmony, things will be easier and happier. The Seventeen Articles were based off the Confucius belief of five basic relationships, ruler and subject, husband and wife, father and son, older sibling and younger sibling, and friend and friend.

The type of power was physical force, and the samurai were the source for the power. The samurai helped the daimyos keep their power as a physical threat.

# data[].attributes.body
Another power he used to stay in power was State Action. For State Action, Prince Shotoku used The Seventeen Article Constitution, a Chinese style of government the Japanese rulers had adopted during the 7th and 8th centuries. The Seventeen Article Constitution was a set of guidelines which authorized that the emperor was the supreme ruler.  For example, the Bushido is a code of behavior, basic values, and lifestyle as a samurai. The Seventeen Article Constitution was similar to the Bushido, except it was for government officials. This would prevent people from challenging his power because it would make others follow his rule by law.
