Social Structure in Medieval Japan

Social Structure
You might recall that a "social pyramid"  is often used to describe the social structure of Ancient Egypt. The all-powerful pharaoh was at the top, indicating he or she had the most wealth and power in society. The farmers and slaves, on the other hand, were at the bottom. This group also made up the majority of people in Egypt, so they have a bigger space in the diagram.
A social pyramid is also useful for describing the social structure of Medieval Japan. Today you will research and create a diagram that informs the viewer about who had the wealth and power in Japan during this historical period.

Your diagram should include these terms:
Emperor
Shogun
Daimyos
Samurais
Peasants
Artisans
Merchants
Feudalism.
Each term should be defined, appropriately placed in the triangle, and include an image to support the information given.

A basic diagram has been started for you.
