After the battle of Sekigahara, which occurred on October 21, 1600, Tokugawa Leyasu became the most important political figure in Japan. Leyasu took the title of shogun and founded the Tokugawa clan, giving rise to the third shogunate that ruled Japan.

Answer 2

Answer:

E) Prohibit criticism of the feudal shogun system of government

Explanation:

The Seclusion Edit of 1636, as this document became known, it was strictly a cultural and economical prohibition act. This Edit prohibited contact with European nations, the entry of European ships into Japanese harbors, created rigid economical rules, and laws to punish every Japanese citizen who disobeys these rules. However, no act of the Edit spoke about criticism of the Feudal shogun system, or the punishment if this criticism would happen. The Shogunate was something common and already established as part of the Japanese culture.
