The Transition Of Ashikaga to Tokugawa Shogunate - Tokugawa IeyasuThe Tokugawa period in Japan was the final traditional Japanese government. This period went into control in the year 1603 when Tokugawa Ieyasu received the label of the Shogun from the Emperor. During the 1460’s to the 1560’s, Japan became dived by warfare between the feudal lords. These lords were also known as Daimyo’s. Unfortunately these wars went on for almost another whole century. Eventually this came to an end when Ieyasu took control and power over the strong and protected castle in Edo. Tokugawa Ieyasu was given this name as the Shogun as he along with Oda Nobunaga, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi held the emperor and his family hostage until he was given the role of the Shogun and that they would receive full power of Japan. The Emperor made a deal with them that they would be granted all of these commands although he would still be able to be Emperor. Ieyasu along side with the other Shogun were in control of the government of Japan for another 2 and a half centuries.
