How did the shogun exact loyalty from the daimyo?

Answer 1

"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.

Answer 2

Buke shohatto (武家諸法度）+kaieki(改易）

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.
