Social changes
During the Tokugawa period society and the economy changed. Tokugawa made rules regarding the four classes. The merchants gained more power since the sameri were not alowed to trade goods. The sameri were in debted with the merchants because they kept borrowing from the merchants to keep a upper class lifestyle. The samari served there daimyo as attendants and moved off the land and into castle towns.Here is a picture of the samari in there natural habitat probably taking a rest brake while travling it shows there standards, looks like they are just about to post up right there. It actualluy looks like a little camp area because of the little huts around them.

This picture shows the samari and maybe some merchants
