The title of shogun was created by the emperor of Japan to designate a military leader with supreme authority over the samurai class and the nation's military affairs. This title allowed the emperor to delegate power and maintain control over the feudal system while ensuring that a strong military leader could effectively manage conflicts and protect the realm. Over time, shoguns became the de facto rulers of Japan, with the emperor serving more as a symbolic figurehead. This system helped stabilize Japan during periods of internal strife and external threats.
