The emperor needed the warrior class, or samurai, to maintain control over Japan due to the decentralized nature of feudal society. The samurai provided military service, loyalty, and governance in exchange for land and status, allowing the emperor to exert influence over different regions without direct rule. This relationship helped stabilize the social order and defend against external threats, while also reinforcing the emperor's authority as a divine ruler, albeit often indirectly. Ultimately, the samurai served as both protectors and enforcers of the emperor's will across the fragmented political landscape.
