The Shoguns required the daimyo (feudal lords) to spend part of their time at the Shogun's court in the capital city of Edo (modern-day Tokyo). This practice, known as sankin kotai, ensured that the daimyo's loyalty to the Shogun remained strong and it also allowed the Shogun to keep a close eye on the daimyo's activities. The establishment of a centralized bureaucracy, a uniform code of laws, and giving the emperors an active political role were not effective means of controlling the daimyo in Tokugawa Japan.
