WORLD HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -It was the last of the shogunates . During this time Tokugawa Ieyasu established a government at Edo (now Tokyo), where Japan’s central government remains today. In the 1630s the shogunate adopted a policy of national seclusion, which forbade Japanese subjects from traveling abroad.

Detailed explanation-2: -Japan’s isolation policy was fully implemented by Tokugawa Iemitsu, the grandson of Ievasu and shogun from 1623 to 1641. He issued edicts that essentially closed Japan to all foreigners and prevented Japanese from leaving.

Detailed explanation-3: -The family came into being in 1566 when Ieyasu changed his surname to Tokugawa from Matsudaira. The Edo Period marked the family’s heyday. After the Tokugawa Shogunate was toppled and imperial rule restored through the Meiji Restoration in 1868, the head of the clan was awarded the title of duke.

Detailed explanation-4: -Tokugawa Ieyasu, original name Matsudaira Takechiyo, also called Matsudaira Motoyasu, (born Jan. 31, 1543, Okazaki, Japan-died June 1, 1616, Sumpu), the founder of the last shogunate in Japan-the Tokugawa, or Edo, shogunate (1603–1867).

Detailed explanation-5: -The Tokugawa clan (, Tokugawa-shi or Tokugawa-uji) is a Japanese dynasty that was formerly a powerful daimyō family. They nominally descended from Emperor Seiwa (850–880) and were a branch of the Minamoto clan (Seiwa Genji) through the Matsudaira clan. The early history of this clan remains a mystery.
