Unit 3: East Asia in the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries

Edo Castle

Edo Castle (now the Imperial Palace in Tokyo) was built in 1457 and during the Edo period, or the Tokugawa Shogunate, served as the capital of Japan. The castle suffered much damage over the years from fires, earthquakes and war, and then during World War II, U.S. bombing raids destroyed more.
