Tokugawa Iemitsu
1604 CE–1651 CE · Edo (Tokyo)
Tokugawa Iemitsu (1604-1651) was the third shogun of Japan's Tokugawa (Edo) shogunate, ruling from 1623 to 1651. A grandson of the dynasty's founder, he consolidated the regime's control over the regional lords through the formalized sankin-kotai system of alternate attendance, which required them to reside periodically in Edo. He also completed the sakoku policy of national seclusion, expelling most foreigners, largely closing Japan to overseas contact, and suppressing Christianity following the Shimabara Rebellion, an isolation that would shape the country for over two centuries.
