Описание: The Tokugawa shogunate established an unprecedented era of stability and peace in Japan that lasted over two hundred years. Following a period of intense civil war, Tokugawa Ieyasu secured his family's dominance through massive wealth, military might, and the strategic distribution of land to ensure his allies monitored his rivals. The regime implemented the baku-han system, which maintained strict social control by legally defining a rigid hierarchy consisting of samurai, farmers, artisans, and merchants. Innovative policies such as alternate attendance forced local lords to reside periodically in the capital of Edo, effectively draining their resources and preventing organized rebellion. To further guarantee internal security, the shogunate adopted a policy of national isolation, banning Christianity and severely restricting foreign trade and travel. Ultimately, this complex framework of legal codes and Confucian ethics transformed the samurai from a class of warriors into one of skilled civil administrators.
