ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Jin'ya

Jin'ya is a big, important house where the leader called a daimyo lived with their family and workers. The daimyo was in charge of a whole area called a domain, kind of like a big neighborhood. The workers in the jin'ya helped to keep things running smoothly, like making sure the food was cooked and the garden was pretty. The jin'ya was also a place where the daimyo could hold meetings with important people or have guests visit. Think of it like a fancy hotel where someone really important lives and works!
