 * =**Technology/Achievements or Accomplishments**= ||
 * A shogun has the most power politicial and military power. Their social sructure was very strict. Samurai were near the top. For example, they had clan wars between Yoritomo and another clan to fight over the Fujiwara Family, and the better, stronger clan was Yoritomo's. Winning that long war was a great achievement for him. Yoritomo claimed the position as shogun after his accomplishment. Overall, most of the Shoguns' accomplishments included wars, or winning wars.

 * =**Culture**= ||
 * The shoguns lived quite voilent lives. They were always battling another clan over who was in "power". They dressed usually in armor. This is how they are portrayed in pictures. They seem rough, and fierce. They were military leaders, after all. They had a strict social order. A work of art for a Shogun is learning the art of fighting, the art of winning.

 * =**Religion**= ||
 * At this time in China, there were many religions, some of which inclded Shintoism, Buddhism, Confucianism, and all the different sects of Buddhism, such as Zen Buddhism (which was most favored by the samurai), and the Tendai Sect. Mostly, though, Shoguns were Buddhists.
