Jun 04 (The Shogunate) - There is a debate today over the usage of the term Feudalism, especially when describing Japan during the age of the Samurai.
In this video I attempt to explain the deeper problem with the term and why it has become so controversial.
The main source I used for shaping this video is "Feudalism in Japan" By Peter Duus. It is a bit older, but it goes far to illustrate the deeper issues with the term "feudalism" and its application to Japanese History.
