Did Japanese serfdom have higher status than English counterpart? Please answer step by step:
Serfs in Medieval England were peasants that were indentured servants to their lords. Serfs were often harshly treated and had little legal redress against the actions of their lords. Japanese serfs were farmers and fishermen. Japanese believed that serfs produced food, which was depended on by all classes, therefore, they worked harder.
So, the final answer is yes.
