Tokugawa Tsunayoshi
1646 CE–1709 CE · Edo (Tokyo)
Tokugawa Tsunayoshi (1646-1709) was the fifth shogun of Japan's Tokugawa shogunate, ruling from 1680 to 1709. A promoter of Confucian learning and the arts, he founded educational institutions and encouraged scholarship during a period of cultural growth. He is also remembered for the Edicts on Compassion for Living Things, laws that strictly protected animals, especially dogs, and earned him the nickname "the Dog Shogun"; his later reign faced criticism for fiscal difficulties and currency debasement.
