There wasn't any emperor, when Tokugawa Ieyasu united Japan, the Edo Period began and Japan isolated itself from the rest of the world.

During that time Japan was ruled by shoguns. There were two forms of government, in one the daimyo (feudal lord), ruled a piece of land and he had to swear loyalty to the shogun. In the other form, the shogun ruled with the Bakufu that was like a council who advised the shogun . Both types of government worked together.
