Edo Period

Shelf by nono umasy
The Edo Period, lasting from 1603 to 1868 in Japan, marked a transformative era characterized by political stability under the Tokugawa shogunate, which centralized power in Edo (modern-day Tokyo). This period witnessed significant social, cultural, and economic developments, as strict social hierarchies and isolationist policies shaped Japan's identity. While the samurai class held sway, urbanization and economic growth thrived, resulting in a flourishing merchant class and the emergence of Edo as a cultural hub. Cultural achievements like ukiyo-e art and kabuki theater are enduring legacies of this period. The Edo Period ended with the Meiji Restoration, which initiated Japan's rapid modernization and opened it to the world, leaving an indelible mark on the nation's history.
