The Genroku Shogun was designed in honor of the fifth Tokugawa Shogun, Tsunayoshi, who governed the Tatebayashi Domain. He is known for putting an end to the violent years of Japan’s middle ages and ushering in the early Edo culture of Genroku (1688-1704) that produced the likes of haiku poet Matsuo Basho, dramatist Chikamatsu Monzaemon and novelist Ihara Saikaku.
