| The Japanese Shoguns | |||
| Few Japanese emperors have wielded personal power. Instead a military dictatorship (the shogunate) has ruled in the emperor's name for much of Japan's history. The last of the shogun dynasties was the Tokugawa clan, who for more than 200 years kept Japan in seclusion from the world. The dynasty whose ruling members are listed here, dominated Japan until 1867, when the emperor Meiji reasserted the power of the throne and abolished the shogunate. (See also SAMURAI and BUSHIDO CODE). | |||
