Tokugawa Japan + Medieval Europe Medieval Europe and Tokugawa Japan lived in seclusion to each other, and yet there were many uncanny similarities between Tokugawa Japan and Medieval Europe. In Medieval Europe there were many key features of the social system that were introduced at the time. The social system of Medieval Europe was called Feudalism. Feudalism puts the King in charge of everything and everyone, with barons and nobles underneath him. The nobles provide loyalty and knights to the king in return for land to control.
The societies of Tokugawa Japan (c.1603-1867C.E.) and medieval Europe (c.1000-1500C.E.) had two things in common; a feudal system. A feudal system is something that features hierarchies or social structures. The feudal system normally starts with a religion, which is at the very top of the social pyramid, then it’s the King or monarch for Europe and the shogun for Japan, then there are the nobles for Europe and the daimyos for Japan. As we go down the pyramid there are the warriors, like the knight in Europe and the samurai in Japan, then there are the peasants. The peasants were included in both eras and are at the lowest part of the pyramid.

From the Kamakura Period of the late twelfth century to the Meiji Restoration in the nineteenth century, the samurai have held prominent positions as noble warriors in Japanese society. They have come to be famous in modern, Western pop culture as the fierce, stoic guards of feudal Japan, but their practices and rituals extended beyond wielding katanas and donning impressive armor. Samurai practices were rich and complex, with strict codes, ritual suicide, and a history of influencing culture and politics (“Samurai”).

Initially what we can see is that the castles were always treated in general, as it were, first, a reality throughout medieval Europe, according to which the castles always evolved in closed standards, had the same architectural features and the same functions, which were concentrated in the hands of powerful lords and, therefore, was the hallmark of the absence of central powers in medieval

This is most likely an outcome of job specialization, and the fact that groups or empires grew so large, not every single person needed to defend themselves; the castle grew to be many moving parts working as one whole. This concentric castle is also what one might think of when building a sand castle, as circular towers round out the corners of the structure; these towers not only provided more tensile strength than rectangular ones, but they also allowed someone to look out the window and have a wider line of sight without blind spots.
