The Samurai's leader was called the diamyo. The Samurai fought battles for land that their diamyo wanted, so when they won, land was added to the area that the diamyo ruled. This land was in turn given to the surviving Samurai in return for loyalty.

Legally speaking, all Samurai answered to the Japanese imperial household, whoever was in power, although in reality, for the second millennium of Japanese history, the real power was held by the Shogun. Japanese history can be broadly divided into two periods; a golden age that lasted for a full millennium, from the Yamato period which ended during the dawn of the Sengoku (warring states) period, to the second millennium which was characterized by war. The second millennium of Japanese history, is generally divided into the warring states era, the Toyotomi era, and finally the period of Japanese modernization characterized by the Meiji and Showa eras.
