Kashindan
''Kashindan'' (家臣団) was an institution of the retainers (''kashin'') of the shogun or a daimyo in Japan that became a class of samurai. It was divided into the military commanders (''bankata'') and the civil officers (''yakukata''). In the Nanboku-chō and Muromachi periods, the ''kashindan'' began to include members of the clan that it served. In the Sengoku period, in response to the need for a strong military organization with a centralized power structure, the daimyo organized their own ''kashindan'' as a standing army. By the Edo period, they had become a discrete class of samurai, and each family was paid an annual stipend according to its rank. The ''kashindan'' was abolished in 1871 as part of the Meiji Restoration. History Medieval period In and before the Kamakura period, the clan head and its members, who were related to the clan head, had one type of a cooperative relationship comparable to that of a kin community. However, during the Nanboku-chō and Mur ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
