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.
The Japanese feudal system put peasants at the bottom, the daimyos or merchant middle class in the middle, and the warrior shoguns at the top.
The clan leaders (daimyos) were the highest class other than the Imperial family.
The daimyos don't exist in modern times, but they were around in feudal Japan. The daimyos were their word for "lords" or "nobles". Basically to say, daimyos today really don't have much power and therefore aren't important. (though they were in feudal times...)
The shogun had the overall most power. However, the Daimyo's (Lord's) who were 260 strong were just below him. After that the samurai's came in. Think of it as the Shogun is the president, and the Daimyo's are the governors of the states.

With kindness and respect. But the people would still be odered to do things.
In Tokugawa Japan, the emperors had less power than the shoguns due to the rise of a feudal system where military leaders held actual control over the land and its people. The Tokugawa shogunate established a centralized government that prioritized stability and order, relegating the emperor to a ceremonial and symbolic role. Additionally, the shoguns effectively maintained power through a network of loyal daimyos (feudal lords), which further diminished the emperor's influence in political and military matters. Consequently, while the emperor remained a revered figure, real authority resided with the shogunate.
Only Samurai and Daimyos had the right to tax. This gave the military elite more power in government.
Nobody. If they have more power, then they cannot have less. And if they have less, they cannot have more. So nobody can have more AND less.
