 Sinister Designs: Yoshitoshi Tsukioka   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
Tokugawa Tsunayoshi (1646 - 1709), fifth Tokugawa shogun, is called the Dog Shogun for his interest in later life in animal welfare, particularly of dogs.
Tsunayoshi built grand Buddhist temples, establishing shelters for the needy, passed regulations to limit samurai violence and rights, and devoted the resources of his government to the care of the less fortunate, whatever the species.
This series rather amazes me: first, that Yoshitoshi could get away with portraying the Tokugawa shoguns while memory of their power and the rearguard rebellions of Tokugawa loyalists was so fresh, and second, that he did not give to the temptation to either demonise or idolise them.
