About this listen
In this episode of Generals, we delve into the life and legacy of Tokugawa Ieyasu, the unifier of Japan and the founder of the Tokugawa shogunate that ruled for over 250 years. Explore Ieyasu's rise from a hostage child to a shrewd military leader and shogun, whose strategic prowess at the Battle of Sekigahara established his dominance and ushered in the Edo period—a time of unprecedented peace, cultural prosperity, and economic growth in Japan. We examine how his policies shaped Japanese society, his impact on arts and governance, and his lasting influence on both Japanese culture and global understanding of leadership and political strategy. Join us as we uncover the complexities of Ieyasu's enduring legacy and the profound transformations he orchestrated in the tapestry of Japanese history.
