  Tokugawa shogunate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
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.
The Tokugawa Shogunate came to an official end in 1868, with the resignation of the 15th Tokugawa Shogun, Tokugawa Yoshinobu and the "restoration" ('Taisei Hōkan') of imperial rule.

A member of the Tokugawa family himself, Nariaki in 1829 succeeded his brother as head of Mito han (fief), one of the most powerful of the many feudal fiefs into which Japan was then divided.

Tokugawa said he hoped he had made it clear that the fundamental governing policy of the Tokugawa shogunate was based on culture, and that the shogun and daimyos were not the barbarians depicted in the novel and TV drama "Shogun"!
