Tokugawa Iesato was the designated heir of the last shogun, Tokugawa Yoshinobu, and succeeded him to become the first head of the Tokugawa clan following the fall of the Tokugawa shogunate.
Shortly after the Meiji Restoration, he left Edo for the Matsudaira/Tokugawa ancestral home of Shizuoka prefecture.
In 1877, he traveled to England to study.
In May 1910, he was invited to a luncheon held in his honor at the newly-founded Japan Society in New York.[1]
