Lower-status warriors, often referred to as {{Wiki|jizamurai}} or {{Wiki|:ja:土豪|dogō}}, were integrated into local communities, lived among the peasants, and led them. They formed federations ({{Wiki|:ja:一揆|ikki}}) with other jizamurai from the same region, which allowed them to build forms of political autonomy and resist the influence of the great feudal lords. Sometimes they consolidated their influence by joining the {{Wiki|Pure Land Buddhism|Amidists}} of [[Hongan-ji]], forming [[Ikkō-ikki|Ikkō leagues]] that grouped together the population of a region. But more often, they managed to rally the local population around the region&amp;#039;s shrines without the need for intervention from an external sect. The question of political autonomy did not only affect the jizamurai and peasants. For example, It was also a concern for the urban bourgeoisie of [[Kyoto]], who tended to organize into neighborhood communities, the [[Merchant|machishu]].

By doing so, they contributed to strengthening the vassalage and therefore the political and military hegemony of the lords in whose service they had entered.&lt;br /&gt;
