- Japanese: 徳川禮典録 (Tokugawa rei ten roku)
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.
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 Marquis Tokugawa Yoshichika 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.
