The statement that best describes the main political idea that shaped Japan in its medieval period is:
A new leader emerged who became more powerful than the emperor: a military leader called a shogun.
This reflects the shift in power during the medieval period in Japan, when the shogunate system led to military leaders (shÅguns) holding actual power over the country, despite the emperor remaining a figurehead.
