Question

similarities and differences between feudal europe and japan?

Answer 1

Feudalism has been around since the beginning of time. Its generally in this order in Europe - Slaves, peasants, ladies and lords (knights) and other nobles, and the king and/or queen. For Japan it was almost the same, despite different names, and I believe one more class. From what I can tell its like a lord hiring a younger knight or two to protect him and his family.
"The legal foundations were, however, very different in the Japanese and European feudal systems: European feudalism was grounded in Roman legal structure while Japan feudalism had as its basis Chinese Confucian morality."
