The emperor was by birth, descended from a long line of emperors going back to the Sun Goddess in Japanese mythology.
The shogun was a military dictator who seized the power, and ruled - in theory - in the name of the emperor.

∙ 11y agoThe Shogun was considered to true ruler of Japan whereas the Emperor was, and still is in a figure-head position. A perfect example would be the Pope and Holy Roman Empire. The Pope while considered a symbol of authority, has very little political power while the Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire has complete military and financial control. One holds all the power, the Shogun, and one is just a fancy name, the Emperor.

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!
