Japanese rulers promote country's resurgence
After many years of civil war, Japan entered a new period of
peace in the 1600's under the Tokugawa shogunate. The first
Tokugawa shogun came to power in Japan in 1603, limiting the
emperor's power and influence. Entertainment and the arts have
now begun to flourish in Edo, the shogunate political center. A
strong work ethic among people from all walks of life is
contributing to Japan's economic recovery.
