Gokenin A gokenin (御家人 ) was initially a vassal of the shogunate of the Kamakura and the Muromachi periods. In exchange for protection and the right to become "shugo" (governor) or "jitō" (manor's lord), in times of peace a "gokenin" had the duty to protect the imperial court and Kamakura, in case of war had to fight with his forces under the shogun’s flag. From the middle of the thirteenth century, the fact that "gokenin" were allowed to become "de facto" owners of the land they administered, coupled to the custom that all "gokenin" children could inherit, brought to the parcelization of the land and to a consequent weakening of the shogunate. The "gokenin" class ceased to be a significant force during the Muromachi period and was supplanted by the figure of the "daimyō". During the successive Edo period, the term finally came to indicate a direct vassal of the shogun below an "omemie" (御目見 ) , meaning that they did not have the right to an audience with the shogun.

Shobo A shobo is a weapon, similar to the Emeici of China, which was used by the ninja of Japan for striking pressure points on an opponent. It was a piece of wood that was gripped by the wielder and was hung by a ring worn on the middle finger. Some versions were rings with a wooden peg attached on top. The ends were exposed and were usually sharp, which made them effective for paralyzing and even killing enemies quickly and without leaving a trace. They were easily hidden in the fists and were very lightweight and portable. They were usually worn in pairs. Many ninjas constructed their own shobo, although some were given from master to student.
