    Under the Tokugawa Shogunate, the Shoguns worked to establish stability and unified control over Japan. They achieved this by establishing a strict social hierarchy led by samurai warriors and shogun lords, with farmers, artisans, and merchants in lower classes. Women's roles differed based on their family's wealth, with rich women managing household affairs and poor women having fewer freedoms. The shogunate also sought to isolate Japan from foreign influence, only permitting trade through Nagasaki and enforcing Buddhism while banning Christianity. Over time, however, daimyo lords grew more powerful, signaling a period of political change after 250 years of shogunate rule that established stability and social order across the country
