During the Sengoku period, roughly 1467-1600 AD, powerful samurai leaders (daimyo) seized control of old feudal estates. The period ended with unification of Japan under the powerful Shogun, Tokugawa Ieyasu.
Feudal Japan was dominated by the powerful regional families (damio) and the military rule of warlords (shogun), not the emperors.

Local lords were called daimyo. They retained soldiers called samurai. The top ruling lord in Japan was called the Shogun. The feudal leaders received tribute from the territories they were responsible for.
Japan was absolutely closed to foreigners and foreign interaction during feudal times until the 1850s, with one exception, which was the small Dutch trading zone at Dejima in Nagasaki. Contact with foreigners or practicing Christianity was punishable by death. Japan had no foreign embassies or missions during this time.
