The “Medieval” period in Japanese history (1185-1868) is one of the best known and most popular periods because of the colorful samurai warriors. Historians long marveled at the “feudal” structures in Japan at this time, seeing them as remarkably comparable to political organization in Europe in the same period. They no longer do.
