The imperial house, while in theory owning all of the country, had no income. They existed on the sufferance of the Shogun. While the shogun would never intentionally harm the emperor, or at least be seen to, he would let the emperor know in no uncertain terms that his duties lay in prayer for the wellbeing of Nippon (or Wa), Confucian philosophy, and poetry, not in governance.

What did the samurai and shogun promise to each other?

The samurai and shogun engaged in a mutual agreement based on loyalty and protection. The shogun promised to provide land, status, and security in exchange for the samurai's military service and allegiance. This relationship formed the backbone of Japan's feudal system, where the samurai would defend the shogun's rule and uphold order in return for their privileges and rights. Ultimately, it was a bond rooted in duty, honor, and the maintenance of social order.
