Japan's Tokugawa (or Edo) period, from 1603 to 1867, was the final era of Japanese feudal government, culture and society. The head of government was the shogun, who was a member of the Tokugawa clan and ruled from Edo Castle. The Tokugawa dynasty presided over 250 years of peace and prosperity in Japan, which saw the rise of a new merchant class and steady urbanization. Japanese society was closed off from Westernizing influences, and the professional warriors called Samurais were the primary leaders in this period, under the authority of the shogun. The Meiji Restoration of 1868 toppled the Tokugawa shoguns and brought the country into the modern era. |
