Tokugawa Yoshimune
1684 CE–1751 CE · Edo (Tokyo)
Tokugawa Yoshimune (1684-1751) was the eighth shogun of Japan's Tokugawa shogunate, ruling from 1716 to 1745. Facing serious financial strain, he undertook the Kyoho Reforms, a program of fiscal retrenchment, agricultural promotion, and administrative and legal reform aimed at restoring the shogunate's solvency. He also relaxed the ban on importing foreign books, permitting non-religious Western works to enter Japan, which encouraged the later growth of "Dutch learning"; he is generally regarded as one of the more capable Tokugawa rulers.
