Hey guys!

Yup, Joslyn here again. In the previous post, I forgot to mention my sources, so here goes:

So, just FYI, because shoguns played a more important part of governing Japan in the past, I flt that it would be good if we included the more prominent ones here, since there are LOADS of them since the Nara period or something. :) So basically, below are the names ofhe 14 Tokugawa shoguns that maintained the peace and stability of Jan for 200+ years and helped it to prosper despite the whole closed door policy.


*Tokugawa Ieyasu (徳川家康, 1543–1616) (Reigned 1603–1605)
*Tokugawa Hidetada (徳川秀忠, 1579–1632) (Reigned 1605–1623)
*Tokugawa Iemitsu (徳川家光, 1604–1651) (Reigned 1623–1651)
*Tokugawa Ietsuna (徳川家綱, 1641–1680) (Reigned 1651–1680)
*Tokugawa Tsunayoshi (徳川綱吉, 1646–1709) (Reigned 1680–1709)
*Tokugawa Ienobu (徳川家宣, 1662–1712) (Reigned 1709–1712)
*Tokugawa Ietsugu (徳川家継, 1709–1716) (Reigned 1713–1716)
*Tokugawa Yoshimune (徳川吉宗, 1684–1751) (Reigned 1716–1745)
*Tokugawa Ieshige (徳川家重, 1711–1761) (Reigned 1745–1760)
*Tokugawa Ieharu (徳川家治, 1737–1786) (Reigned 1760–1786)
*Tokugawa Ienari (徳川家斉, 1773–1841) (Reigned 1787–1837)
* Tokugawa Ieyoshi (徳川家慶, 1793–1853) (Reigned 1837–1853)
* Tokugawa Iesada (徳川家定, 1824–1858) (Reigned 1853–1858)
* Tokugawa Iemochi (徳川家茂, 1846–1866) (Reigned 1859–1866)
* Tokugawa Yoshinobu (徳川慶喜, 1837–1913) (Reigned 1867–1868)

After the death of Iemochi, since he didnt have a son, Yoshinobu, his relative, took over and managed to usurp his throne... somehow. And that's how the whole samurai class thing was eliminated. Which isso sads, I mean, wouldnt it be cool if there were samurai still? Yamashita Tomohisa would officially be the hottest samurai :)
