*''Japanese'': 豪農 ''(gounou)''
''Gônô'', literally wealthy or luxurious farmer, is a term used to refer to wealthy peasant entrepreneurs or landlords, who were often quite prominent and powerful figures politically and economically in rural areas or regional towns.
They are distinguished from the ''gôshi'', wealthy rural peasants or commoners who enjoyed some degree of samurai privileges.
