The Tokugawa shoguns viewed large castles as a potential threat to their authority because they could serve as strongholds for powerful daimyos, leading to challenges against the central government. These formidable structures could facilitate rebellion or insurrection, as they provided military power and resources to local lords. To mitigate this risk, the shogunate implemented policies that limited the construction of large castles and enforced restrictions on the daimyos' military capabilities. This helped maintain control and stability in the feudal system.

No. The daimyo were powerful rulers. While the shoguns are the military ranks or servers of the emperor
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.
A Shogunate, or Bakufu, is a type of military government that is ruled by a Shogun. Throughout Japan's history, there have been 3 Bakufu. They are; Kamakura Bakufu (1192-1333), Muromachi (Ashikaga) Bakufu (1336-1573), and the Tokugawa (Edo) Bakufu (1600-1868).
