Tokugawa Ienobu was the sixth [[shogun]] of the [[Tokugawa shogunate]]. His reign, lasting from [[1709]] to [[1712]], saw numerous reforms guided by [[Confucian]] scholar [[Arai Hakuseki]]. [[Manabe Akifusa]] and [[Hayashi Nobuatsu]] were also prominent advisors to Ienobu. These included numerous steps taken both domestically and in foreign relations ritual to construct a Japanocentric regional order.

He was named shogunal heir in [[1704]], and was officially invested as shogun by the emperor in 1709/5/1

Ienobu repromulgated the ''[[buke shohatto]]'' in [[1710]], the third time these rules for military houses had been issued.

Ienobu died in 1712. His son [[Tokugawa Ietsugu]] was named Shogun the following year. Ienobu's grave at [[Zojo-ji|Zôjô-ji]] is today among the best preserved of the shogunal tombs, and provides some indication of the likely style and construction of those shogunal tombs which are no longer extant today.
