The medieval Japanese emperor's wore expensive robes.
The shogun was the main "advisor" of the emperor. In truth the shogun had all of the control, as the emperor was just a figurehead. The daimyo were provincial rulers who had control over small amounts of territory and at different times had largely independent power.
Emperor, Shogun, Daimyo, Samurai*, Peasants, Artisan, and Merchants. *There are also Ronin, which are Samurai without a Daimyo (because he/she was killed, committed seppuku, etc.).
Emperor at the top, followed by the Shogun, Daimyo, Samurai and finally peasants (farmers, merchants, crafts people). That was what it was supposed to be like. Instead, the Shogun was at the top, then the emperor, daimyo, samurai, and peasants. The shogun seized control after the emperor was so caught up with his own life at court. They were also known as a heirarchy.
The Daimyo were regional lords, usually samurai, who ruled a Fife. They were responsible for keeping law and order, collecting taxes for the Shogun, assisting the Shogun in military endeavours as required. Not all Daimyo were good at their jobs. The title of Daimyo could be inherited from father to son, or awarded for services rendered by the Shogun.

No. The daimyo were powerful rulers. While the shoguns are the military ranks or servers of the emperor

Yes. It went Emperor, Shogun, Daimyo, Farmers, Artisans, Merchants.
It went emperor, figurehead, daimyo, samurai (warriors), and then peasants (poor, normal people). Imagine a pyramid.
Imagine a pyramid. At the very top is the emperor. Then comes the figurehead. Then the daimyo. The the samurai (warriors), then peasants (poor but regular people).
You need to be a hig rank sensei/ samurai to be a daimyo...
The central government grew weaker and the noble families grew stronger and as the noble families(daimyos) grew power the law of the central government slowly lost its power so the emperor lost it power.
The Samurai were the Emperor's bodyguards, Daimyo's (Governors) security forces and public police force. For some time they were the only ones legally allowed to carry a sword.
