"Sankin kotai" was the system whereby the Tokugawa shoguns forced all daimyo to spend every other year at the Tokugawa court in Edo (later Tokyo). This increased both political and fiscal control over the daimyo by Edo.

Sankin kōtai (参勤交代 lit. "alternate attendance"?) was a policy of the shogunate during most of the Edo period of Japanese history. The purpose was to control the daimyo. In adopting the policy, the shogunate was continuing and refining similar policies of Toyotomi Hideyoshi. In 1635, a law required sankin kōtai, which was already an established custom. The law remained in force until 1862.

the way a shotgun maintained control was when they were making the had to test it so they shot it and it pretty much blew up and they found out that they need a rotating part on the inside and a place to put all the empty shells(it gets tossed out every time you pump it.)
The Shogun exacted loyalty from the Daimyo in several ways. For example, they did it through strategic marriages and through the building of castles.

Answer 1: SAmurais served their Shogun. A shogun was the military leader and as the years went on shogans became more incharge then the emperors. Answer 2: Samurai didn't serve the shogun, they served the daimyo, the Japanese lords. Then the daimyo would give the shogun loyalty and the service of some of the daimyo's samurai, in return for land which they gave some to the samurai. The shogun has (for example) 3 lots of land - A, B, C. Two lots of samurai -A,B - serve the daimyo. The shogun gives land lot B and C to the daimyo in return for samurai lot B. The daimyo gives land lot C to the samurai in return for their service. So even though samurai lot B 'serves' the shogun, they actually do that only because they serve the daimyo.

the daimyo and samurai
Samurai was a status. All daimyo and shogun were of samurai status. Bushi was a warrior. If you would "rank" them, it would be: Bushi-Daimyo-Shogun.

The Daimyo were regional lords, usually samurai, who ruled a Fife. They were responsible for keeping law and order, collecting taxes for the Shogun, assisting the Shogun in military endeavours as required. Not all Daimyo were good at their jobs. The title of Daimyo could be inherited from father to son, or awarded for services rendered by the Shogun.
To make them eat lollipops
The shogun was the main "advisor" of the emperor. In truth the shogun had all of the control, as the emperor was just a figurehead. The daimyo were provincial rulers who had control over small amounts of territory and at different times had largely independent power.
