Cornell Notes 11/6/12

The Big Idea

Japan developed a military society lead by generals called shoguns.

Main Idea 1:Samurai and shoguns took over Japan as emperors lost influence.

• The emperor was distracted by life at the court.

• The landowners, or daimyo, were worried that they needed to protect their land.

• Landowners hired samurai, or trained professional warriors, to defend their property.

Shoguns Rule Japan• The nobles became frustrated with

the emperor, so they decided to take power.

• Kept the emperor as a figurehead, a person who appears to rule even though real power rests with someone else.

• Shoguns, generals, ruled Japan in the emperor’s name.

• Shoguns ruled Japan for 700 years.

Main Idea 2:Samurai warriors lived honorably.

• The word samurai comes from the Japanese word for “to serve.”

• Each samurai was loyal to his lord or daimyo and protected him and his property.

• Samurai were paid with land or food.

• They followed a strict code of rules called Bushido, which taught them how to behave.
