Tokugawa Mitsukuni (July
11,
1628 -
January 14,
1701) was a prominent
daimyo in the
Mito domain who was known for his influence in politics of his era.
He complied a huge collection of Japanese history,
Dai Nihon shi. In it, he depicted Japan as a nation under the
Emperor, analogous to that in Chinese dynasties. This helped the rise
of nationalism in the
late shogunate and in the
Mito domain later.
