Answer 2

The correct answer is D) Japanese peasants owned the land they farmed.

One way Feudal Japan was different than Feudal Europe was that Japanese peasants owned the land they farmed.

With the Shogun at the front of the Japanese Empire, leaders of different armies controlled small portions of land. Those were the feudal years in Japan. Rich landholders or families called the daimyo split the land into small parts and allowed the peasants to farm it. They and the Samurais -great warriors- controlled Japan in feudal times.
