I have a project in which I have to create a setting where the shogun or emperor is bring presented with entertainment that showcase the culture of that time e.g some sort of dance (Geisha dance? If im not wrong).
As I am not knowledgeable in this matter could someone also let me know if it is appropriate to set a shogun who is being entertained instead of an emperor
Please let me know if any movies, anime or anything like that is available.

oh, for Edo period entertainment, you should check out The Twilight Samurai and The Hidden Blade! They’re great for showcasing the culture and samurai life. And yeah, it’s totally cool to set a shogun being entertained instead of an emperor. Good luck with your project!
High society theater during this era was Noh. Other theater like Kabuki and Bunraku were more for mass consumption and popular with the general population, but they would have been considered too vulgar and common for the likes of the Shogun, Daimyo, and wouldn’t have been appropriate for someone of their station.
