The ''Tokugawa reiten roku'' is a compilation of records of [[Tokugawa shogunate]] ritual protocol, compiled by [[Date Munenari]], [[Matsudaira Shungaku]] (Yoshinaga), and [[Ikeda Mochimasa]] on the orders of the [[Meiji Emperor]], and presented to the Emperor by way of [[Iwakura Tomomi]] in [[1881]]/12.
The ''Tokugawa reiten roku'' is a compilation of records of [[Tokugawa shogunate]] ritual protocol, compiled by [[Date Munenari]], [[Matsudaira Shungaku]] (Yoshinaga), and [[Ikeda Mochimasa]] on the orders of the [[Meiji Emperor]] (as suggested by [[Iwakura Tomomi]]).
Work began in 1940, on the 50th anniversary of Shungaku's death, to have the compilation published and made publicly available in conjunction with the publication of the first volume of Complete Works of Matsudaira Shungaku (''Matsudaira Shungaku zenshû dai-ikkan'') around the same time. Shungaku's son [[Kazoku|Marquis]] [[Tokugawa Yoshichika]]<!--侯爵徳川義親--> played a prominent role in seeing it published, and wrote a brief preface. Marquis [[Matsudaira Yasumasa]] and [[Ikeda Nobumasa]] were also significant in their support of the project.
The compilation was originally assembled as Mino-ban size books, traditionally bound, in 39 volumes. The idea was originally proposed in [[1878]]/1, and after its compilation was officially ordered by the Meiji Emperor on 1878/4/5, the project was completed in [[1881]]/5, and presented to the Emperor by way of Iwakura in 1881/12.
The ''reiten roku'' includes twelve volumes on annual ceremonies (''nenjû gyôji'') of the shogunate, and twenty six volumes of additional ritual records, including records of the ritual details of Shogun [[Tokugawa Iemitsu|Tokugawa Iemitsu's]] journey to Kyoto in [[1634]], the [[1858]] accession ceremonies of Shogun [[Tokugawa Iemochi]], the [[1862]] wedding of Princess [[Kazu-no-Miya]], shogunal trips to [[Nikko Toshogu|Nikkô Tôshôgû]], hunting trips to Koganehara Hunting Grounds, and the reception of [[Korean embassies to Edo|Korean]] and [[Ryukyuan embassies to Edo]]. It also includes some materials on ranks & titles of shogunal officials, and the [[Ooku|Ôoku]], as well as a number of maps of the interior of the ''honmaru'' palace at [[Edo castle]], the Koganehara Hunting Grounds, and shogunal archery range.

It was reissued again in 1982.
