samurai

Well I wrote "I had always thought this comic theme is Emperor system of Japan".
However there is one problem here.

"This Emperor system is Emperor system of what era?"

・・・・・・・・・　
　
Dynasty era in japan that was a clan society with a focus on the Emperor.
This era's Emperor system might be like a patriarchy.
The aristocratic in the capital had a monopoly on wealth and power in Japan.
The Emperor is the father of their，and was priest to pray to god (defend the country) also.

By the way this era had a brilliant dynasty literature.
Many works that remain today.
But even if read it，we can’t understand well about the ordinary people at the time.
There wasn't their presence there.

・・・・・・・・　

Samurai was mere soldier for the aristocratic at first.
But they had the power on gradually as the regions big farmer.

Samurai's thought were distinctly different from the aristocratic of the capital.
The land was not presence of subject to exploitation.
The land was presence that put on their life.
They hoped new nation system to protect their rights.
　
・・・・・・・・・

The 6th century at least the Emperor had ruled the country.
Then about the middle of Dynasty era，the Emperor's power migrated substantially to kingmaker of the aristocracy.

Because it has been achieved in such a way that become maternal relative of the Emperor, it wasn’t a complete power shift.
But the Emperor's power significantly reduced.
　
Then in the latter half of the dynasty era，region samurai had the power gradually.
Also social contradictions had been surfaced gradually.

”Kingmaker's power weakened.”　

At that time，fundamental issue of the political system might have been misunderstood to Policy issue of kingmaker of the aristocracy.　
The Emperor tried to regain the lost power.　
But era had weakening the political system itself than kingmaker of the aristocracy.
The Emperor didn’t notice weakened of himself.
Even if the Emperor was able to get the power again，it was a house of cards.　

・・・・・・・・・

The first that was a power struggle between the aristocracy of the capital.
Samurai took part there as a soldier.

But they were not presence compliant of the aristocracy already.
They claimed their rights to the aristocracy.
The aristocracy were overwhelmed by them.

Then war occurred.
Samurai finally established a regime of own to local city called Kamakura in 1192.
Then the Emperor had authority but didn't power at all.
That continue until the Meiji Restoration in 1868.

Land is not presence of subject to exploitation.
Land is presence that put  on own life.

That is，this thought had been established.

 ・・・・・・・・・
　
Then the Emperor had "authority" but didn't have power at all.　
I think it was a good thing for the Emperor.
Hundreds of years when the emperor has become only the presence of "authority".
During that period,a lot of kingmaker had vanished.
But the Emperor had spent without any serious errors because didn’t have the power.　
　

"authority"　＝　Honorary position without power
"authority"　≠　Person who has the power at that time.

The meaning of ”authority” of this blog is above.
