封建 (ほうけん) is a Japanese word that refers to the feudal political and social system that existed in Japan between the 12th and 19th centuries. The word is composed of two kanji: 封 (hou), which means "seal" or "close", and 建 (ken), which means "build" or "establish". Together, they form the term that represents the social structure in which feudal lords governed their lands and maintained their vassals in exchange for loyalty and military services. The Japanese feudal system was characterized by the rigidity of social classes, with samurais at the top of the hierarchy and peasants at the bottom.
