The imperial house, while in theory owning all of the country, had no income. They existed on the sufferance of the Shogun.

The shogun had the overall most power. However, the Daimyo's (Lord's) who were 260 strong were just below him. After that the samurai's came in. Think of it as the Shogun is the president, and the Daimyo's are the governors of the states.
THEY WERE BROTHERS AND THE SHOGUN WAS OLDER:) :( people these days the real answer is that the shogun went to war against the emperor and gained more power by victory of the battle. that's why the emperor had less power on japan than the shogun.
