Was the Japanese emperor or shogun the boss?
It really depends what era you are referring to. The real power of the Shogun was from around the 8th century until 1867 when the then ruling Tokugawa Yoshinobu relinquished control back to the emperor after nearly 1000 years (this became known as the Meiji Resoration). The emperor was and still is head of state (technically called the "symbol of the state and the unity of the people" since 1947). The shogun on the other hand is the one that really has the power. The best analogy is the Queen of England and the Prime Minister or the even the current Emperor of Japan and the Prime Minister. One has the posh title but the other gets out of bed at 6am every day and puts in a 18 hour shift!

The Meiji Restoration in Japan marked the overthrow of the Shogunate. The Shogunate was a military governor of Japan. Though in principle Shoguns had to be appointed by the Emperor, in practice their power passed from father to son or seized control of the government through military force. This arrangement effectively removed the Emperor from the structures of power. The Meiji Restoration made the Emperor the head of the government, though he did not direct governmental affairs. The government of Japan ceased to be a hereditary position, as it had been under the Shogunate. The emperor ruled Japan through a series of governments chosen by his subjects, similar to the constitutional monarchy of Great Britain.

During this time period, the shogun (a military commander) was the person with the real power behind the scenes while the emperor was just the public figure head of political power, although he had none.
