Detailed explanation-1: -In Feudal Japan between 1185 CE and 1868 CE. Vassals offered their loyalty and services (military or other) to a landlord in exchange for access to a portion of land and its harvest.
Detailed explanation-2: -Because all lords in Japan were supposed to serve the emperor, all samurai were required to be loyal to him. An army of samurai was expensive to support. Few daimyo (land owning lords) could afford to buy armor and weapons for their warriors. As a result, lords paid their samurai with land, gifts, or food.
Detailed explanation-3: -The samurai (or bushi) were the warriors of premodern Japan. They later made up the ruling military class which eventually became the highest ranking social caste of the Edo Period (1603-1867).
Detailed explanation-4: -Another word for daimyō would be a warlord. Each daimyō was protected by his own loyal samurai, the professional warrior class of feudal Japan. The samurai was the noble aristocracy of feudal Japan.
