What happens

The feudal lords have failed in their duty and it is time to make sure they know their responsibilities. The Buke Shohatto or 'The Various Points of Laws for Warrior Houses' was a collection of edicts governing the responsibilities and activities of daimyo and the rest of the samurai warrior aristocracy should be a start. It is supposed to be seen as a code of conduct, how to behave as an honorable daimyo, not solely laws which have to be obeyed. Thus, these might be followed despite our inability to enforce them directly.
