In Japan, as in medieval Europe, a feudal system gradually developed. In exchange for allegiance and military service, noble landowners gave property or payment to samurai warriors. Most of them were paid with food, generally rice.

When emperors lost power, military leaders (shogun and daimyos) took over. ... Ended fighting between daimyos and United Japan. Three powerful leaders in a row eventually ended the daimyo fighting.
