→As Tairô
The [[1783]] eruption of [[Mt. Asama]], combined with the nearly ten-year-long [[Great Tenmei Famine]], were widely seen as symbols that the country was in need of serious change and a return to virtuous leadership. Tanuma was ousted from power in 1786, and replaced as Tairô by Matsudaira Sadanobu the following year.
