Answer 1

Answer: Its numbah 2

Explanation:During the Tokugawa period (1603-1867), the shogun held the highest military and political power in Japan, while the emperor's role was mainly ceremonial. The shogunate, or the military government headed by the shogun, controlled the country, while the emperor was a figurehead with limited power. The shogunate maintained strict control over the daimyos, powerful regional lords, and used a complex system of social classes and government bureaucracy to govern the country. The emperor remained in the imperial capital of Kyoto and had little practical power or influence over the shogunate's decisions.
