Each of these obtained the prized title of Shogun (supreme general) from the emperor. The Battle of Sekigahara (1600) brought the Sungoku period to an end. The 17th Century began a long spell of peace and stability known as the Tokugawa period (named after the ruling family) or Edo period (named after their home city, which is modern-day Tokyo). The Edo period was characterized by peace, economic growth, social stability and popular enjoyment of arts and culture. It set the stage for Japan&#8217;s modernization in the subsequent Meiji Period (1868 &#8211; 1912).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.activehistory.co.uk\/updates\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/japan.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"764\" height=\"584\" src=\"https:\/\/www.activehistory.co.uk\/updates\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/japan.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5082\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.activehistory.co.uk\/updates\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/japan.jpg 764w, https:\/\/www.activehistory.co.uk\/updates\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/japan-300x229.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.activehistory.co.uk\/updates\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/japan-392x300.jpg 392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 764px) 100vw, 764px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Japan in the Tokugawa Period &#8211; A Time of Peace By the end of the century, unity had been gradually restored through the efforts of three warlords known as the &#8220;Great Unifiers&#8221;: Oda Nobunaga (1534 &#8211; 1582), Toyotomi Hideyoshi (1536 &#8211; 1598), and Tokugawa Ieyasu (1543 &#8211; 1616).
