Question

Why did power-sharing not work in Japan?

Answer 1

Because Power-sharing often causes problems
Emperor Go-Daigo decided that he wanted total power for his court, and the system broke down. When Go-Daigo tried to undermine the bakufu system, civil war erupted. Clans joined forces to overthrow the monarch. At first, the clans were defeated by the emperor's forces. But another civil war—lasting from 1336 to 1392 CE—finally drove Go-Daigo from power. The rebellion's leading shogun, Ashikaga, became the leader of Japan .

Answer 2

So basically because only 1 ruler wanted all the power! and they did not like sharing.
