A worker - Gesakunin

Japanese: 下作人 - げさくにん
A worker - Gesakunin
Under the manor system, farmers who directly cultivated the land were called peasants, as opposed to samurai who had become landlords. After the late Kamakura period, the occupations of farmers were differentiated and the rights of farmers were not just those of cultivation but those of landlords. As a result, those who actually cultivated the land came to be called shishanin. Shishanin paid annual taxes, land taxes, and shishanin.
