This project was designed to teach about the Japanese Lord Vassal system during Edo Japan. By putting students in an interactive computer game, they will have the opportunity to experience the divisions between Samurai, Merchants and Peasants during 19th century Japan. By engaging students in challenging quests and puzzles, they will gain a first-hand understanding of the similarities and differences between Japanese historical society and extrapolate this new knowledge to more contemporary social class structures.
