Yeah. If I remember correctly, they didn't want to introduce the Shogun to 'western world' diplomats as such, so they used the title “Taikun”.

What can else say? Politics is politics. :confused:

I think it had to do with the period's Japanese politics. ‘Taikun’ basically means “Great Lord”. Wouldn't someone introduced as the “Great Lord” a nation seem to be the supreme commander of that nation?

I vaguely remember something about a conflict between the Shogun and the Emperor back then.

Lots of conflict. I am tempted to post a video I saw recently about the history of Japan. It's...not completely serious to say the least but it's entertaining and pretty informative.
