the daimyo and samurai

anonymous · Answer

The daimyo & samurai. Some Japanese scholars were already beginning to question the legitimacy of the shogun's authority, and to view him as a usurper of the emperor's supreme authority. These views were eagerly adopted by powerful western samurai clans, such as the Satsuma and Choshu, which were envious of Tokugawa power. These western clans had acquired influence at the emperor's court at Kyoto, and were determined to use that influence to undermine the shogun and restore the supremacy of the emperor. http://www.pacificwar.org.au/foundationJapmilaggro/ShogunOverthrown.html
