deciding to rule from a new capital, Tokyo.

Tokyo was originally called Edo, and it was a small fishing village until Tokugawa Ieyasu decided to rule from this city after he became a shogun in 1603. The Edo period began, and the city expanded rapidly (although the city was not the official capital until the Meiji Restoration). During this period, the city enjoyed what is called the Pax Tokugawa, a period of peace, prosperity and splendour. Great works were built in the city, and the arts and culture of Japan flourished.
