Description

Explore the complex history of social hierarchy and reform in Japan with this scholarly work from Routledge. This book examines the Tokugawa Shogunate, which maintained a rigid social structure for over two hundred and fifty years until the mid-1860s. By studying the mibun system, readers learn how the ruling class established legal status groups to organize society. The text details how early Tokugawa rulers adapted customary divisions between warriors, peasants, artisans, and merchants into a formalized legal framework. It explains how status laws and coercive force were used to regulate social relations and limit mobility between these groups. This historical account provides a deep look at the struggle for national inclusion and the processes that helped shape the modern Japanese state. It is an essential resource for those studying the transformations of Asia and the evolution of social structures.
