Edo period
    Keywords: Culture & History

The whole period of the Tokugawa shogunate in Japan, brought to an end by the Meiji restoration, is often called the 'Edo period' for convenience; the traditional Japanese method of division into era names is less useful for generalisation.

Edo was the old name for Tokyo ('eastern capital'), which was renamed as part of the political upheavals of the 1860s.
