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. This is a copy of the living page "Edo period" at Sensei's Library. ![]() |
