The shogun was a military ruler who held significant power in Japan, often serving as the de facto leader while the emperor remained a symbolic figurehead. In contrast, the aristocracy, or noble class, comprised wealthy landowners and influential families who often held power in local governance and culture. While the shogun wielded military authority and centralized control, the aristocracy focused on maintaining their land and status, often seeking to influence the shogunate for their own interests. Together, they shaped Japan's feudal system, but their roles and sources of power were distinct.
