Little bit about Edo-era...
During the peaceful Edo period, people chose jobs that suited them. Some wanted to become farmers, while others wanted to artist. Only about 6% of the population had the ability to become samurai. Children with strong leadership qualities and the right character were selected from all over in Japan and trained to become samurai in Edo. The Tokugawa family chose the shogun, and the position was not necessarily passed down through bloodlines. The Tokugawa family selected and adopted the future shogun, while others were trained to support him .
