The correct description of the Japanese feudal pyramid is:

shoguns at the top, daimyos in the middle, peasants at the bottom.

In this hierarchy, the shogun held the highest power, followed by the daimyos (feudal lords), and then the samurai served the daimyos. At the bottom of the pyramid were the peasants, who worked the land.
