    I have always found it fascinating how Shogunate Japan ranked peasant farmers higher than artisans or merchants because Confucian philosophy highly valued those who produced food over ‘non-essential’ goods or traders

      Even in some South Asian countries the top social level after aristocracy were farmers.

      Another reason is that rice had a function as money. Farmers mainly paid rice as tax, and large cities such as Edo and Osaka had rice wholesalers as financial districts, and the scale of local economies was expressed by the scale of rice production.
      Therefore, the peasants also had a certain amount of power and often caused protest movements such as uprisings. Of course, the merchants were also influential, but they were often caught between the powerful shogunate and the farmers who used force.

    丸の内 not means "Within the Circle". Edo Castle can be seen as "Motte and bailey" when simplified. 本丸(Honmaru) is "Motte". And other ward is "bailey". 二の丸(Ni no maru) is "Second Bailey", 三の丸(San no maru) is "Third Bailey", and more. So 丸の内(Maru no uchi) means "Inner Bailey area" that Area located inside the curtain walls.

    I’m from Kanda-Surugadai (a.k.a Ochanomizu). IMO it’s the most entertaining area (including Jinbocho, Suidobashi, Akihabara, Yushima and Kudanshita) in Tokyo if you’re a geography lover. Second is the area around Shinagawa station.

    How are peasants above artisans and merchants in the hierarchical pyramid order?

    • @wp7187
      @wp7187 Рік тому +10

      I won’t pretend to have the answer, although it’s possible that it’s do with feudalism, whereby the the elite and the peasants would be co-dependent upon one-another, whereas the artisans and merchants may have more wealth than the peasantry but were less systemically integral to society’s basic functions.

    • @JaredJonesAZ
      @JaredJonesAZ 11 місяців тому +6

      It's no mistake, I learned about this social structure in a South and East Asia course in school. Basically in Japanese culture, working with ones hands to produce a necessity (farming, construction, fishing, etc.) was seen as a higher status form of labor than artisan and mercantile labor. When you think about it the difference in labor hierarchy between cultures is largely arbitrary, and merely a reflection of the values of elites who determine how the greater society will be structured.

    • @pierren___
      @pierren___ 11 місяців тому

      Because they provide a universal good and they are tide to the land, and thus to the lords.
      Meanwhile merchants are replacable exchangers who are in contact with foreigners and thus a major menace.

    • @Sora-ce1zx
      @Sora-ce1zx 8 місяців тому +4

      Why not? If there’s no food, everyone dies. You can live without artisans and merchants, but not farmers. It’s such a simple logic.
