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.
