How did Shoguns control the daimyo?

It is a hereditary, military rule so that Tokugawa shoguns ruled the country from 1600, or 1603, to 1868. Tokugawa Ieyasu was able to gain control of the entire country. Once a daimyo himself, now he became shogun, ruling over the roughly 250 other daimyo across Japan. The daimyo had to broker their rice.

What happened to the Daimyo?

The daimyō era ended soon after the Meiji Restoration with the adoption of the prefecture system in 1871. The term daimyō also sometimes refers to the leading figures of such clans, also called "Lord". It was usually, though not exclusively, from these warlords that a shōgun arose or a regent was chosen.
