What are the social and political aspects of medieval japanese society?

The political aspect of medieval Japanese society is very different from the US politics that we know of. In Japanese politics they use a code of conduct that goes by the name Bushido, meaning "way of the warrior-knight". Divided into clans (families: blood/marriage). The social pyramid of Medieval Japan was: emperor, Shogun/Daimyo/Vassals, Samurai Warriors, Peasants/Artisans. Land=wealth. Women in japan had few freedoms: expected to care for their children, cook, and sometimes farm and obey the males (Even their own sons!). Marriages were arranged.   Hope this helps
