Tokugawa Mitsukuni was the second [[Edo period]] lord of [[Mito han]], and is strongly associated with the [[Mitogaku]] intellectual movement. He was the son of [[Tokugawa Yorifusa]], and grandson of [[Tokugawa Ieyasu]].
Mitsukuni commissioned the beginning of a great history of Japan, the ''[[Dai Nihon Shi]]'', which was begun in [[1657]], and continued by his descendants, being finally completed in [[1906]]. Mitsukuni also completed the [[Korakuen|Kôrakuen]] gardens in [[Edo]], begun by his father. For both of these projects, he enlisted the help of [[Ming Dynasty|Ming]] loyalist [[Zhu Shunsui]].
