Tadakuni further ordered the dissolution of kabu nakama, the merchant and artisan guilds, since he regarded them as the cause of rising commodity prices.
Tadakuni also promulgated a land-requisition (agechi) order to bring daimyo and hatamoto domains surrounding Edo and Osaka under direct bakufu control: the stated object of this was the defense of Edo, but it also was designed to supplement the finances of the bakufu.
Tadakuni predicted that, thanks to his reforms, the Tokugawa regime would survive for another 30 years.

The apparent success of the Kyoho Reform, for example, was admired by Matsudaira who planned to reform the Bakufu not beyond the limit thus laid down by his grandfather.
Similar anti-mercantile policy in the time of Mizuno's reform started a see-saw battle between merchants and the Bakufu with the result that either state control or non-intervention policy did not work.

The reasons are complex, but in general the political system – which had developed out of a civil war – was no longer really appropriate for the peace situation and its changing economic requirements, and the huge and economically inactive warrior class became increasingly difficult to maintain.
After the death of Shōgun Tokugawa Ienari in 1841 Mizuno Tadakuni became as Chief of the rōjū (Council of States) effectively the leader of the government and attempted a number of drastic reforms.

As Chief Senior Councillor to the Tokugawa SHOGUNATE, Mizuno responded to the crisis engendered by famine, insurrection, and foreign pressure in the 1830s by instituting a comprehensive programme of social, political, and economic measures known collectively as the Tempo reform.
He introduced strict price controls, abolished restrictive merchant guilds, and attempted to bring outlying lands under direct government control through a land requisition scheme.

 Re: Tenpo Reforms and "Actor Landscapes"   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
I believe the main impetus for the types of series you have identified ("Mitate sanjûrokkasen no uchi", "Chûshingura", "Edo meisho zue", "Tôkaidô gojûsan tsugi no uchi") were the lingering effects of the Tenpô Reforms (1842-47) instituted by Mizuno Tadakuni (1774-1851), the chief councilor to the shogun Tokugawa Ieyoshi.
Although Tadakuni fell from power in 1843, the effects of his reforms lasted for some years and publishers returned only gradually to issuing prints that explicitly identified actors (that is why so many prints from the early 1840s-early 1850s do not bear the names of the actors).
Kunisada had earlier in the mid-1820s designed finely printed sets in the small koban format of beauties placed before landscapes, and again in the late 1830s when he drew beauties before scenes derived from Hiroshige’s "Tôkaidô gojûsan tsugi no uchi" but in the chûban format.

Utagawa Kuniyoshi, perhaps the most imaginative breaker of the reforms, led the way early with an 1843 triptych of Minamoto Yoritomo dreaming of monsters.
Rumor quickly spread that the sleeping Yoritomo represented the shogun, one of the four guardians by his side the leader of the reforms, Mizuno Tadakuni, and the monsters members of the populace who had been angered by them - in short, a popular uprising.
Kuniyoshi denied that he had intended such a statement, and escaped punishment, though the blocks for the print and unsold copies were destroyed.

 The Tenpo Reforms
For additional information on this type of legislation click here.
The Tenpo Reforms (Tenpo Kaikaku) were enacted since 1842 by Mizuno Tadakuni, the leader of the Council of Elders (roju), and appeared in great measure as am answer to the great Tenpo famine of 1832-36.
Their main goal was to consolidate the government of Japan, creating the conditions needed to face the internal needs (as highlighted by the Tenpo famines) and the external dangers, well represented by the news of the easy British victories of the First Opium War (1840-42).

 Meiji Restoration
By the 1820’s the Samurai class in Japan had become aware of foreign military might through the word of those who had traveled abroad.
(Some Japanese found their way around the world upon foreign fishing boats.) Even some government aids such as Mizuno Tadakuni who had studied Dutch gunnery and English Industry in the 1840’s warned the Shogun of European advances; Mizuno prescribed a system of Eastern Ethics with Western Technology.
However, the Japanese were stubborn in their beliefs and held strong that the superior Japanese culture could withstand any foreign threat.
