Explanation:

Feudalism in Japan was a time when there was a great decentralization of imperial power amid the aristocracy that lived in the cities and the great landowners, called daimyo (feudal lord). It was from this time that the samurai came to take control of the country, becoming self-governing daimyos of the provinces, and they remained in power for over 700 years. Japanese feudalism arose from the weakening of the central government, where the governor began to lose power and influence due to the many wars he faced.

For long centuries, Japanese feudalism had been marked by a series of conflicts. In the mid-16th century, daimyo OdaNobunaga and other lords made an attempt to reunite the fragmented state, but after their death the state fell back into its conflicts until it was reunified over the Tokugawa clan government. Even so, rival clans still continued to fight for power. For many historians the Japanese feudal period did not really end until the Meiji Restoration began in the mid-1960s.
