 | | In every province since 1185 there was a largely civilian Governor, put there by the Shogun or equivalence of a Shogun, but there were more than one warlord in the same territory -- and they might or might not listen to the Governor (if they could help it, they most certainly would not). |
 | | While an overlord like Chief of such clans as Mori, Takeda, Imagawa, Saito, Omura, etc. had more than one province under their rule, even if the provinces seemed to have been governed by a Governor each and the usual number of local warlords were there too (click here for map of overlords in 1560's). |
 | | Since 1185, the Governors were military personnels (shugo), while his deputies or stewards (jito) managed the districts. |
