At the top of the society was the emperor. (The emporer is kind of just a figurehead, the person who did the real ruling the Shogun, which is the supreme military commander). Below him were the Daimyo, which were the powerful land holding samurai. Next was the Samurai warriors, then the peasants and artisans followed. At the very bottom were Merchants, though they became more important as Japan expanded.]]> 2021-09-29 13:32:38 UTC https://padlet.com/25smitha14/be817mottcbbjiv6/wish/1778043559 25smitha14 https://padlet.com/25smitha14/be817mottcbbjiv6/wish/1778097117 1.
