About Feudal Japan

GoConqr Original

What the resources cover

The page follows Japan through its medieval and early modern history. The mind maps Shogunate Japan and Medieval Japan set out the periods, from Jomon, Nara and Heian to the three shogunates: Kamakura, Muromachi and Tokugawa. The Tokugawa Shogunate map looks at Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the shogun and the daimyo, and why the emperor's divine status gave rulers legitimacy.

Where to start

  1. Open Shogunate Japan first. It gives you the order of the periods.
  2. Move to Medieval Japan for the wider picture, including the Edo period and why it got that name.
  3. Read Tokugawa Shogunate to see how power was won and justified.
  4. Use the flashcards to fix the key words.

Flashcards for key terms

Many decks cover the same core vocabulary: shogun, samurai, bakufu, shoen, shugo, jito, Ainu and the islands of Honshu, Kyushu, Shikoku and Hokkaido. The deck 12.4: Emergence of Japan and Feudal Age adds Yamato, Shinto, Bushido, Zen and The Tale of Genji. Several decks overlap, so choose one and work through it rather than trying them all.

Using quizzes and maps together

Read a map, close it, then take a quiz such as Feudal Japan or Shogunate Japan Revision. Note the questions you missed and go back to the matching branch of the map. For deeper questions, the maps To what extent was Tokugawa Japan an isolated country? and Source B: Tokugawa Period Economy and Society help you build an argument from evidence.

Where this unit sits

Feudal Japan belongs to the strand The Medieval World in History, so it works well beside other medieval topics. Teachers can pick a map to open a lesson or a quiz to close it. Try one quiz today, then make your own notes from what you find tricky.

Frequently asked questions

Which resource should I open first?

Start with the Shogunate Japan mind map. It lays out the periods and the three shogunates in order, so later resources make more sense. Then open Medieval Japan for the wider view, and move on to flashcards and a quiz once the sequence feels familiar.

What do the mind maps cover?

They cover the periods of Japanese history, the Kamakura, Muromachi and Tokugawa shogunates, samurai and daimyo, and the Edo period. Some tackle source work and questions, such as how isolated Tokugawa Japan really was, and how its economy and society worked.

Are the resources free to use?

Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. A free account also saves your quiz scores and lets you make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes.

Who made these resources?

They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself. That is why you will find several mind maps and flashcard decks with similar titles, each shaped by a different student or teacher. Compare a few and keep the ones that suit you.

Which levels do they suit?

Nearly all of the resources are at secondary level, so they suit school students and the teachers who plan lessons for them. One example is a mind map aimed at Year 7 History. A small share is at university level.

What if I cannot find a topic I need?

Try a related resource first, as the mind maps and flashcards overlap a lot. If the gap remains, make your own mind map, flashcard deck or quiz on it. That is a good way to check what you have learned.
