Ok, so ...

What I will do: Describe the nature of the Japanese government between the Gempei wars and the Onin War. What was the nature of the Japanese society, and economy during the period of the daimyos.

The Japanese government between the Gempei wars adn the Onin Wars consisted of the Minamoto and the Taira. Eventually the Minamoto gained control and destroyed the Taira and the Taira house faction. The society and economy of Japan suffered during these times of war. Battles raged within Japan and destroyed many farmlands that were a major part in Japan’s economy. The Minamoto leader started to kill members of his own family and his powerful generals in fear that someone would kill him and take his spot. This crippled the Minamoto and started the feudal age in Japan.
