This fine piece of scholarship gives this complex historical set of institutions the sophisticated analysis that most of the work on so called peasant revolts lacks. Only by understanding these typically Japanese, layered,overlapping ,and anchronistically reported phenomena,do the actions of Oda Nobunaga in slaughtering 80,000 of the mebers of the various ikki within two years begin to make sense. When centralised military control was the goal,independent armys had to be eliminated. The Japanese paradigm of the extreme individualist(Oda) paradoxically acting as the champion of tradition,is much more believable than the peasant revolt/Marxist paradigm. Japan is not the cultural parallel of Europe. Simplistic analysis never reflects Japanese Culture-most especially in the Sengoku Era. In order to understand another culture it is necessary to suspend one's own cultural bias.
