Tokugawa Mitsukuni |

At the age of 30, Mitsukuni began the compilation of a history of Japan, Dai Nihon shi. This significant work traced the history of the imperial family and revealed how the throne had been usurped by the shoguns, engendering a resurgence of loyalty to the emperor. A picture of Mitsukuni, painted by Ebine Shundo, is available at the Yasaki Inari Shrine website. |
