Was feudalism an effective system in japan?

Answer 1

Yes, or at least during the Zhou Dynasty.

The Zhou developed a strong political system with a genuine feudal order. Formal oaths of allegiance to the Chinese rulers were exchanged for fiefs, permission to obtain revenues and service from peasants. In return, the vassals(fief holders) pledged their loyalty to the monarch and sent tribute to the capital.

This system was more effective than the previous developed by the Shang. Since Zhou vassals generally had ties of kinship to the monarch, they established a stronger connection of loyalty and obedience.

Zhou vassals lived away from the capital in walled garrison towns, each laid out on a rectangular grid with two roads that crossed at a central square. Peasants, servants, and slaves lived in or just outside the towns, and worked the land. Unfortunately, peasants lived an oppressive and overworked lifestyle, pressed by the demands of their overlords. Peasants that lived far from the garrison were best off since communication was often poor and local lords often content if they sent tribute only on special occasions.

Hope this helps!
