ABSTRACT
THE SIXTH SHOGUN I YENOBU .-Had Tsunayoshi continued for twenty or thirty years the same administration which he commenced with such good intent, but which was so bad, the country could not have continued enjoying peace as it did. His sudden death saved the country from the threatening danger created by his unwise methods. Iyenobu, the sixth Shogun, who had been daimyo at Kai, was a man of sincere character, who took a serious view of his duties as Shogun, and sympathized with the people. In addition to that, he had able assistance, and therefore though his reign was only for five years, yet it was marked by beneficent administration.
