	Japanese history: Edo Period
		The most important philosophy of Tokugawa Japan was Neo-Confucianism, stressing the importance of morals, education and hierarchical order in the government and society: A strict four class system existed during the Edo period: at the top of the social hierarchy stood the samurai, followed by the peasants, artisans and merchants.
		Even though the Tokugawa government remained quite stable over several centuries, its position was steadily declining for several reasons: A steady worsening of the financial situation of the government led to higher taxes and riots among the farm population.
		In 1867-68, the Tokugawa government fell because of heavy political pressure, and the power of Emperor Meiji was restored.

	Tokugawa - MSN Encarta
		Tokugawa, dynasty of Japanese shoguns who ruled the country from 1600 to 1868, called the Edo period after the Tokugawa capital at Edo (modern Tokyo).
		Ieyasu Tokugawa founded the line when he accepted the title of shogun from the emperor in 1603, after pacifying the country in 1600, and law codes issued in his name in 1615 underpinned its structure.
		Tokugawa authority over other daimyo was consolidated by obliging them to leave wives and families as permanent hostages at Edo, and to attend the shoguns in the capital every second year.

	Tokugawa shogunate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Tokugawa shogunate or Tokugawa bakufu (徳川幕府) (also known as the Edo bakufu) was a feudal military dictatorship of Japan established in 1603 by Tokugawa Ieyasu and ruled by the shoguns of the Tokugawa family until 1868.
		Tokugawa's descendants further ensured the loyalty by maintaining a dogmatic insistence on loyalty to the Shogun.
		By the end of the Tokugawa shogunate in 1867, the Japanese navy of the shogun already possessed eight western-style steam warships around the flagship Kaiyō Maru, which were used against pro-imperial forces during the Boshin war, under the command of Admiral Enomoto.

	Tokugawa Neo-Confucianism
		Tokugawa Ieyasu's central concern was the restoration of peace and order to war-ravaged Japan; in order to accomplish this, he turned to China and Confucianism.
		In the bakuhan system of government, the bakufu, or military, government of the Tokugawa shogunate reserved the right to inspect the 250 or so autonomous territories, or han under the control of various daimyo.
		Seika was a devoted student of China and Chinese poetry, and became convinced that the most important advance in China was the establishment of Neo-Confucianism as the official orthodoxy.

	Tokugawa Ieyasu
		Tokugawa Ieyasu was born Matsudaira Takechiyo, the son of Matsudaira Hirotada (1526-1549), a relatively minor Mikawa lord who had spent much of his young life fending off the military advances of the Oda and the political ploys of the Imagawa.
		While the Tokugawa were allowed to sit out Hideyoshi's invasions of Shikoku and Kyushu, their position on the Tokai Coast did place them in a central role when tensions between Hideyoshi and the Hôjô spiked in the late 1580's.
		Tokugawa was largely staggered out in a valley, with his forward units dangerously exposed to encirclement.

	Tokugawa Ieyasu and his Bakufu
		The inner group was composed of branches of the Tokugawa family and were known as shimpan daimyo.
		Next was the daimyo who were vassals of the Tokugawa before the battle of Sekigahara.
		Shockingly, the tozama daimyo were believed to be of unreliable loyalty and thus given fiefs far from Tokugawa lands and usually separated from each other by more reliable fudai daimyo.
