Abstract
This article provides a scholarly analysis of the formation of the military-feudal administration system in Japan during the Minamoto syogunate, also known as the Kamakura syogunate, and examines its political significance. The study explores the decline of the ritsuryō system, the expansion of the shōen landholding system, and the rise of the samurai class as a dominant political force. The article argues that the military-feudal governance model created during the Minamoto period laid the institutional foundations for Japan’s medieval political order and had a lasting impact on the country’s subsequent political development.
