Abstract
Abstract This chapter covers the Tokugawa period, a time of relative peace, when historians know more about the rank-and-file samurai. It begins by describing how Tokugawa Ieyasu and his descendants created the strongest and longest lasting warrior regime, the Tokugawa Shogunate. After describing the political authority at the top, the chapter details the life of daimyo lords, their interaction with samurai, and the curtailing of daimyo interaction with Western countries. Then the chapter covers the average samurai life cycle from childhood, education, and marriage, to concerns about job and free time, and retirement.
