He established an alternate attendance system known as sankin kotai. This required daimyo to live alternately between their domain and Edo. The Tokugawa Bakufu also required that the daimyo maintained a permanent residence in Edo and required that their families live there.
Tokugawa Ieyasu also enforced a strict castle building and destruction system. He required daimyo to destroy certain castles in their domains if there were found to be too many. Conversely, when a new castle was being built, he would require daimyo provide materials for it's construction. Needless to say, this was a huge economic strain on them.

Otto I sought the support of the Church to diminish the power of the nobles in Germany.

The Tokugawa shogunate reduced the power of the nobles, or daimyo, through a combination of political strategies and strict social control. They implemented the policy of "sankin-kotai," which required daimyo to alternate their residence between their domains and Edo (modern-day Tokyo), effectively limiting their ability to amass power and resources. Additionally, the shogunate maintained a rigid class system and employed surveillance to monitor the daimyo, ensuring that their authority was kept in check. This centralized control helped establish a stable, albeit repressive, regime that lasted for over two centuries.
