There is a debate today over the usage of the term Feudalism, especially when describing Japan during the age of the Samurai. In this video I attempt to explain the deeper problem with the term and why it has become so controversial.
Check out the Video I mentioned by Karolina Żebrowska: "period drama costume designers these days" youtube.com/watch?v=f0fqnPFeVCM&t=48s

The main source I used for shaping this video is "Feudalism in Japan" By Peter Duus. It is a bit older, but it goes far to illustrate the deeper issues with the term "feudalism" and its application to Japanese History.
