| 155046074 | Importance of Feudal Japan | Feudal Japan was an important point in Japanese history because it helped begin and develop Japan's government, religion, and art and literature by taking and expanding upon concepts found in China. The government in feudal Japan was based off of the Chinese Confucian government, the only modification being that the rulers were nobles instead of scholar gentry because Japan was previously uneducated. This was important because it gave way to a pattern of how the Japanese ran their administrations and institutions, as illustrated by the capitol they established at Nara during this time, where evidence could also be seen of Japan's new and unique religion. | 4 |
