Tokugawa Ienobu

Born as the grandson of the third Shogun Iemitsu (and nephew of Ietsuna and Tsunayoshi), Ienobu employed Manabe Akifusa and took the advice of Confucian scholar Arai Hakuseki.

The administration, identified with its peace and prosperity of Ienobu and the seventh Shogun Ietsugu, is known as Shotoku no Chi (正徳の治) named after a Japanese era.
