Until the 1800s, Japan was governed by a feudal system dominated by the shogunate, specifically the Tokugawa shogunate, which was established in the early 17th century. The shogun held military and political power, while the emperor remained a figurehead with limited influence. This period, known as the Edo period, was characterized by strict social hierarchies and isolationist policies. The shogunate maintained control over the daimyos (feudal lords) and the samurai class, leading to a relatively stable but isolated society until the mid-19th century.
