What does the Edo period refer to in Japan?

In 1603, Tokugawa Ieyasu was appointed as the shogun of Seiyi and established a shogunate in Edo, and by the time of the third shogun, Tokugawa Iemitsu, the shogunate was largely complete. The shogunate domain accounted for about 1 4 of the country's land, and the rest was held by the daimyo (princes) and was called a feudal state. The shogun is the supreme ruler of the country, and he is subordinate to the elders and middle schools, who decide policies, govern government affairs, and are responsible for controlling the imperial court, daimyo and foreign affairs; The daimyo was the ruler of each feudal state, and he ruled directly over the people by subordinate clansmen and nenyo, and had the administrative, judicial, and annual tribute collection rights of the territory.

The shogunate set up inspectors and inspectors called metsuki to supervise the feudal states, and controlled the daimyo by means of the daimyo visiting the shrine and changing the daimyo to change the daimyo, but the feudal states remained relatively independent. As a result, a political system was formed in which the feudal states under the control of the Tokugawa shogun were divided and ruled. At the end of the 17th century, due to the development of the commodity economy, the shogunate system was in crisis, which manifested itself in financial difficulties and frequent peasant uprisings.

In response to the crisis, the shogunate implemented reforms in the mid-18th century and the 40s of the 19th century, but they did not work. After the founding of Japan in 1854, the national crisis exacerbated the crisis of feudalism. Satsuma and Choshu and other powerful feudal domains in the southwest, under the impetus of the reformist lower-ranking samurai, gradually adopted a different policy from the shogunate, colonized the industry, and resisted foreign enemies.

Under the pressure of the peasant uprising at the end of the Edo period and the Shogunate movement centered on the powerful feudal clans in the southwest, the 15th shogun, Tokugawa Yoshiki, was forced to announce the return of the government in late 1867. On December 9, 1867, the Shogunate faction staged a coup d'état and announced the abolition of the shogunate system. The newly established Meiji Emperor** completely overthrew the shogunate in the Boshin War of 1868 and 1869.

At this point, the feudal shogunate politics in Japan came to an end.

The Edo period was the period when the Edo shogunate ruled Japan, from its establishment in 1603 to the return of Taisei in 1867.

Origin After Tokugawa Ieyasu officially assumed the post of Shogun, he immediately became the Shogun of the Edo Shogunate.

Social Structure In Tokugawa Japan, the entire population was divided into four classes by a strict hierarchy: samurai, peasants, craftsmen, and merchants. Several other groups existed outside of this class system, including actors, monks, and butchers.

In the early Edo period, Tokugawa Ieyasu established a political system under tight control, and through the two generations of shoguns Tokugawa Hidetada and Tokugawa Iemitsu, the shogunate became stable. As soon as the politics stabilized, the economy also developed, and during the Tokugawa Tsunayoshi period, the Genroku culture flourished among merchants and townspeople.

During the Edo period, Japan implemented a policy of seclusion with foreign countries, strictly prohibiting foreign countries, prohibiting Japan from interacting with overseas, and only allowed trade with China, Korea, the Netherlands, and other countries, and only allowed it to be carried out in Nagasaki.
