samurai
one key difference between ancient china and japanese society was the development of the samurai class in japan. feudal china had four classes: confucian literati and landlords, peasants, artisans and merchants. the confucian literati and landlords were at the top of chinese social structure. japanese feudal society was also stratified, but had the samurai class in the top of japanese society since the 12th century. thus many experts and analysts consider pre-modern japan a "warrior nation" as the ideals, ideologies of the samurai permeated through japanese culture and society. such as bushido and the japanese proverb "hana wa sakuragi, hito wa bushi" (, literally "the [best] blossom is the cherry blossom; the [best] man is the warrior"). comparatively the chinese idiom is "haonan budang bing, hao tie bu dading" (, means "good iron is not cast into nails; good men are not made into soldiers").
military history of japan
"la société féodale" was published in two volumes ("the growth of ties of dependence", and "social classes and political organisation") in 1939, and was translated into english as "feudal society" in 1961. bloch described the study as something of a sketch, although stirling has called it his "most enduring work ... still a cornerstone of medieval curricula" in 2007 and representative of bloch at the peak of his career. in "feudal society" he used research from the broadest range of disciplines to date to examine feudalism in the broadest possible way—most notably including a study of feudal japan. he also compared areas where feudalism was imposed, rather than organically developed (such as england after the norman conquest) and where it was never established (such as scotland and scandinavia). bloch defined feudal society as, "from the peasants' point of view", politically fragmentary, where they are ruled by an aristocratic upper-class.
