  4. The Big Idea Japan developed a military society lead by generals called shoguns.

  5. Main Idea 1:Samurai and shoguns took over Japan as emperors lost influence. • The emperor was distracted by life at the court. • The landowners, or daimyo, were worried that they needed to protect their land. • Landowners hired samurai, or trained professional warriors, to defend their property.

  6. Shoguns Rule Japan • The nobles became frustrated with the emperor, so they decided to take power. • Kept the emperor as a figurehead, a person who appears to rule even though real power rests with someone else. • Shoguns, generals, ruled Japan in the emperor’s name. • Shoguns ruled Japan for 700 years.

  7. Main Idea 2:Samurai warriors lived honorably. • The word samurai comes from the Japanese word for “to serve.” • Each samurai was loyal to his lord or daimyo and protected him and his property. • Samurai were paid with land or food. • They followed a strict code of rules called Bushido, which taught them how to behave.
