World History EncyclopediaTokugawa Tsunayoshi (1646-1709) governed Japan as the fifth shogun of the Edo period (1603-1876). He has often been ridiculed as the 'dog shogun' because of the laws he enacted to protect the lives of animals. Economically, however, the period of his rule was one of prosperity, and culturally, it was one of the most brilliant in Japanese history. <a href="https://www.worldhistory.org/Tokugawa_Tsunayoshi/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no">https://www.worldhistory.org/Tokugawa_Tsunayoshi/</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/AkoIncident" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#AkoIncident</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/EdoPeriod" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#EdoPeriod</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/TokugawaShogunate" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#TokugawaShogunate</a>
