Paternalistic conservatism is a strand of conservatism,which reflects the belief that societies exist and develop organically and that members within them have obligations towards each other. There is particular emphasis on the paternalistic obligation,referencing the feudal concept of noblesse oblige,of those who are privileged and wealthy to the poorer parts of society. Consistent with principles such as duty,hierarchy,and organic unity,it can be seen as an outgrowth of traditionalist conservatism. Paternalistic conservatives do not support the individual or the state in principle but are instead prepared to support either or recommend a balance between the two depending on what is most practical.

The Kaga Rebellion or ChōkyōUprising was a large-scale revolt in Kaga Province,Japan,in late 1487 through 1488. Togashi Masachika,who ruled Kaga Province as shugo,had been restored to power in 1473 with aid from the Asakura clan as well as the Ikkō-ikki,a loose collection of lesser nobility,monks,and farmers. By 1474,however,the Ikkō-ikki grew discontent with Masachika,and launched some initial revolts,which were easily quelled. In 1487,when Masachika left on a military campaign,between 100,000 and 200,000 Ikkō-ikki revolted. Masachika returned with his army,but the Ikkō-ikki,backed by several disaffected vassal families,overwhelmed his army and surrounded him in his palace,where he committed seppuku. The former vassals of Masachika granted the position of shugo to Masachika's uncle Yasutaka,but over the next several decades,the Ikkō-ikki increased their political hold on the province,eventually abolishing the shugo. They effectively controlled Kaga for almost a century.
