Shoguns made all of the Daimyo's family move to a certain area. The Daimyo's Samurai were responsible for the Daimyo's land. The family had to stay in the area forever. The Daimyo could leave every other year to check on their land. The Shogun wouldn't let all the Daimyo leave at once because he was scared that they'd revolt against him. He made the family stay when the Daimyo left to check on his land. They were "hostages."
